Robotics Engineer, Autonomy Systems

• Robotics | Autonomy | Critical Infrastructure

Snapshot

Join a high-caliber, early-stage robotics startup building autonomous systems for real-world security and critical infrastructure environments .

This is not simulation work.
This is field deployment, safety constraints, and autonomy in the wild .

You’ll own the navigation and autonomy stack end-to-end — from sensor integration to control — in a high-trust, high-ownership environment .

What You’ll Do

Own navigation stack:

• Sensor integration
• Global planning & local control
• Build end-to-end systems: Drivers calibration fusion navigation control
• Ensure performance, safety, and reliability in real environments
• Deploy and iterate on robots in the field (not just simulation)
• Make architecture decisions and operate with high autonomy

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s + 3+ years experience OR PhD (Robotics / Controls / Perception)
• Proven experience building end-to-end robotics systems
• Deep understanding of: SLAM
• Planning & control
• Systems integration
• Hands‑on field deployment experience (non‑negotiable)
• Strong ownership mindset + clear communication

Bonus:

• Nav2, GTSAM, Ceres
• Multi‑sensor fusion (LiDAR / vSLAM)
• Embedded systems / hardware integration
• AI/ML in robotics (perception, embodied AI)

CHF 100,000 – CHF 120,000 base

Meaningful equity (early‑stage upside)

Work with a highly technical, low‑ego team

Access to best‑in‑class hardware & tooling

Open to international candidates

Work permit & relocation support available

English is sufficient (no German required)

Who Should NOT Apply

• Only simulation or lab experience
• Limited ownership / module‑only experience
• Preference for remote work

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Has shipped navigation/localization systems in real environments
• Thinks in systems, safety, and reliability — not just algorithms
• Comfortable working close to hardware and field constraints

Why This Role

• Build real‑world robotics systems (not lab prototypes)
• Own a critical part of the autonomy stack (SLAM planning control)
• Work with a top‑tier team (ex‑Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, TUM, Helsing)
• Join at pre‑seed stage maximum ownership + equity upside
• Contribute to systems impacting security, defense, and infrastructure resilience

If you’ve built robots that actually work in the real world — and want to push autonomy beyond the lab into environments where reliability truly matters — this is where you do it. Apply now...
