About the Job

Requirements

  • A Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 7 years of practical experience in machine learning or robotics AI engineering, including at least 2 years in a formal or informal technical lead role; experience with production systems is essential.
  • Deep expertise in at least two of the following areas: vision-based perception; manipulation and control; reinforcement or imitation learning; multimodal foundation models; scalable MLOps systems.
  • Very good Python skills; C++ is a plus. Practical experience with PyTorch or JAX, cloud infrastructure such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and CI/CD for machine learning systems.
  • Enjoyment of working with real robotic hardware and simulation environments such as IsaacSim, MuJoCo, or comparable tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to set technical direction, coach engineers, conduct code and design reviews, and make decisions under uncertainty.
  • Ability to communicate confidently across research, product management, and hardware engineering while maintaining technical precision.
  • Fluent English. German proficiency at B2–C1 is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

  • Own the team’s technical roadmap by defining goals, translating them into actionable engineering streams, and aligning them with the broader AI and product strategy.
  • Lead and develop a high-performing team of AI engineers, recruit top talent, conduct technical interviews, set clear expectations, and develop employees into senior engineers.
  • Drive the transfer of research into production by evaluating state-of-the-art methods, assessing feasibility, and building technical bridges that enable AI models to run reliably on real robotic hardware.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with software, hardware, and product teams to align AI capabilities with platform requirements and customer use cases.
  • Define and monitor engineering quality standards, including testing standards, model-evaluation pipelines, deployment metrics, and data-governance practices within the team’s scope.
  • Provide hands-on support when the team encounters complex blockers by reviewing training runs, debugging model behavior, challenging architecture decisions, and leading by technical example.
  • Gather learnings from projects and feed them into the core AI roadmap.

Desired Qualifications

  • C++ skills.
  • German proficiency at B2–C1.

About the Company

Neura Robotics

Cognitive robots with perception, manipulation, collaboration

Neura Robotics builds cognitive robots for industrial and service settings, combining perception, manipulation, and human collaboration. It develops both the hardware and the software stack for Physical AI, creating robot platforms like MAiRA, MAV, LARA and MiPA along with training infrastructure. The system works by integrating sensing, decision-making, and manipulation capabilities on a hardware-software stack that can be deployed in large-scale production, with the company planning robots fleets and NEURA Gyms for ongoing training and improvement. What sets Neura Robotics apart is its end-to-end approach to Physical AI, including a focus on mass production, an established global deployment plan, and a broad ecosystem of strategic backers and partners that support scaling and international expansion. The goal is to enable worldwide deployment of its robot platforms and associated training infrastructure, turning physical AI into widely available industrial and service automation.
