Principal Robotics Engineer – Autonomous Mobile Robots

We're Hiring: Tech Lead / Principal Robotics Engineer (AMR Software)

We are looking for a hands-on Tech Lead / Team Lead Robotics Software to drive the architecture, development, and evolution of a production-grade robotics software stack powering Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in real industrial environments.

This is not a traditional management role. We are seeking a highly technical leader who combines deep robotics expertise with strong architectural thinking and the ability to guide engineers through technical excellence.

What You'll Work On

• Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
• Navigation, Localization, and SLAM
• ROS1 / ROS2 architecture and migration
• Multi-robot systems and fleet management
• Sensor fusion (LiDAR, IMU, perception systems)
• Real-world industrial deployments
• Software architecture, debugging, and R&D initiatives

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with ROS1 and ROS2
• Hands-on expertise in Navigation, SLAM, and Localization
• Strong Python and C++ development skills
• Experience building production-grade robotics systems
• Deep understanding of distributed robotic architectures
• Ability to lead technical discussions and mentor engineers
• Willingness to remain highly hands-on (approximately 60–70% coding and technical problem-solving)

Nice to Have

• Experience with industrial AMRs or AGVs
• Docker and containerized robotics environments
• Fleet management and VDA 5050
• Gazebo / Ignition simulation
• Rust
• Functional safety and industrial automation standards

Why This Role?

• Direct impact on robots operating in production environments
• End-to-end ownership from architecture to deployment
• Complex technical challenges involving navigation, localization, safety, and multi-robot coordination
• Strong influence on technical direction and architectural decisions
• Combination of deep engineering and technical leadership

Compensation

Competitive package in the range of €70,000–€80,000 annual gross salary (14 payments) , depending on experience.

This opportunity is ideal for a Principal Robotics Engineer with leadership capabilities who wants to remain deeply involved in engineering while helping shape the future of an advanced robotics platform.

If you are interested, or know someone who may be a strong fit, feel free to reach out directly.
