As a Robotics Engineer – Algorithms, you will contribute to the development of core capabilities for our autonomous mobile robots. You will design and implement advanced algorithms for localization, motion planning, perception, and control, translating robotics concepts into reliable, production-ready software.
Working closely with engineers and technical leads, you will prototype solutions, validate them through simulation and testing, and ensure our systems meet high standards of performance, safety, and reliability in real-world environments.
Your Tasks
Develop and deploy algorithms for localization, motion planning, perception, and control
Design and implement robot behaviors using Behavior Trees
Explore and apply learning-based approaches to improve system adaptability
Create targeted simulations to validate algorithmic performance and operational scenarios
Analyze and quantify system performance, safety, and robustness
Improve development tooling and visualization to accelerate onboard software development
Design and execute automated integration tests to ensure high software quality
Your Experience
MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
Strong programming skills in C++ and experience with the ROS2 ecosystem
Solid background in geometry, linear algebra, and algorithmic problem-solving
Experience with modern machine learning approaches and their practical application
Familiarity with simulation environments and iterative development workflows
Who You Are
Passionate about robotics and autonomous mobile systems
Curious and motivated to explore and apply innovative algorithmic approaches
Interested in solving real-world problems and improving systems based on user feedback
Collaborative team player, contributing to shared engineering goals and high-quality outcomes
WHY ARCULUS
We are a diverse, global team of 100+ creative thinkers, algorithmic brains, makers, movers, and shakers.
Our approach comes from a continuous cycle: assemble, weld, code, test, deploy or delete, and repeat. That is how we deliver innovative solutions to tackle the biggest intralogistics challenges.
You will find our tech space nestled within the eastern region of Munich. It serves as a hub for our team's creativity and collaboration, featuring state-of-the-art meeting rooms, a fully-equipped electronics lab, and a spacious robotics testing area. Our team also enjoys a variety of social spaces, all within the modern infrastructure of the renowned Neue Balan campus.
We are more than just a workplace: we are a community. We encourage connection and affiliation through a range of activities: hiking trips, running events, ping pong tournaments, and quiz nights — there is something for everyone.
We also believe that work should be rewarding in more ways than just one. That is why we offer competitive salaries and benefits like EGYM Wellpass, language courses, Jobrad, and flexible working hours.
If you are moving to join our team, we provide relocation and visa support to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
