(Senior) ML Research Engineer (m/f/d) Robotics

Department: AI

Employment Type: Permanent employee

Schedule: Full-time

Seniority: Experienced

Location: Germany, Munich (HQ)

• Model development: Build ML components across perception, prediction, or policy pathways (e.g., video models, multimodal encoders, world models, diffusion/transformer architectures).
• Systems integration: Work with real datasets, real-time constraints, and ML pipelines that must operate reliably on embodied robotic platforms.
• Multimodal data: Work with inputs such as video, teleoperation actions, proprioception, tactile signals, or simulation-generated sequences.
• Evaluation & iteration: Test models in realistic environments, analyze failure modes, and refine for stability, drift, latency, and robustness.
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration: Partner with teams focusing on modelling, robotics, teleoperation, simulation, and data systems; depending on the final role you land in.

• Deep ML experience in video modelling, generative models, sequence modelling, world models, RL, or simulation-based learning.
• Strong software engineering ability: writing clean, modular Python and building ML systems end-to-end; including implementing architectures, training loops, and data pipelines from scratch.
• Real-world ML mindset: experience with noisy, multimodal, temporal, or large-scale datasets (not just clean academic examples).
• Engineering maturity: ability to debug, profile, optimize, and scale ML systems beyond prototype level.
• PyTorch expertise: hands-on experience with training pipelines, distributed workloads, or deployment workflows.

• Multimodal intuition: combining signals such as vision, pose, audio, force/tactile, or simulation state.
• Systems sense: familiarity with streaming architectures, real-time constraints, microservices, or serialization formats (e.g., Protobuf / MCAP).
• Embodied-AI curiosity: interest in teleoperation interfaces, robot interaction, or real-world control dynamics.
• Simulation experience: knowledge of Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Unity, Unreal, or related simulation platforms.

• Dynamic high-tech company combined with financial soundness and world class investors.
• Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
• Lots of development opportunities in the context of our continued growth.
• Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
• Corporate Benefits Program that covers health, mobility and learning with 100 € net per month.
• Modern office facilites with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment.
