Your Mission & Challenges
Program Safety Logic: Develop, test, and troubleshoot safety-related control logic using PLC programming per IEC 61131-3 (Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram) on established automation platforms.
Integrate Safety Networks: Implement and commission safe fieldbus communication (e.g. FSoE over EtherCAT), together with I/O systems, sensors, actuators, and servo drives.
Apply Robotics Concepts: Apply kinematics, dynamics, and control theory in safety function computation (e.g. safe Cartesian speed/position monitoring, force/torque estimation, stopping distance).
Commission & Validate: Commission, debug, and validate machine safety functions in line with ISO 13849, ISO 10218-1/-2:2025, and IEC 61508, ensuring safety-critical software is properly verified.
Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with hardware, software, and system teams on safety concepts and requirements, contributing analysis, troubleshooting, reviews, and clear safety documentation.
What We Can Look Forward To (Core Competencies)
Degree in Automation, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Hands-on experience developing and testing safety-related logic per IEC 61131-3 (ST, LD, FBD) on at least one automation platform.
C/C++ programming for safety-related or embedded software.
Working knowledge of functional and robot safety standards (ISO 13849, ISO 10218-1/-2:2025, IEC 61508) and experience validating safety functions.
Understanding of safe fieldbus communication (e.g. FSoE/EtherCAT) and servo drive integration.
Solid knowledge of robotics concepts: kinematics, dynamics, and control theory.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with good communication and documentation.
Nice-to-have
Experience with PROFINET/PROFIsafe and CIP Safety.
Python for scripting and test automation, and Git.
Hands-on experience with industrial or collaborative robots.
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.
