Senior Robotics Engineer – Manipulation (m/f/d)

Join us in reshaping manufacturing with advanced tech like computer vision and AI! As a Senior Robotics Engineer – Manipulation (m/f/d), you will be integral in driving our company's next phase of innovation - automating industrial processes to address the scarcity of skilled labor. We have already proven our ability to optimize processes and increase efficiency, and now we are determined to automate tasks within industrial environments. Your main focus will be on R&D and will involve building and showcasing a demonstrator that utilizes industrial robot arms to automate currently manual tasks. You have a strong background in state of the art in robotic manipulation, extensive experience in modeling, planning, and controlling robotic systems, as well as applying machine learning techniques to enhance robotic manipulation capabilities.  Your role Lead R&D efforts to prototype a new robotic manipulator, conducting rigorous testing to validate design specifications and performance criteria. Work with industry-standard hardware platforms (e.g., ROS-compatible robots, specific sensor suites) to develop and deploy robotic manipulators for real world testing. Develop and implement models for hybrid dynamical systems exhibiting both continuous and discrete dynamic behaviors, specifically in robotic manipulators. Design advanced planning algorithms to optimize manipulation tasks such as pick-and-place operations. Experience with supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinfo
