KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: * Develop and implement AI algorithms that improve the perception and navigation of our autonomous machines. * Work with radar, LiDAR, and camera data to build perception that holds up in dust, vibration, and rough terrain; conditions far worse than a rainy trackdrive. * Collaborate with software, hardware, and field engineers to integrate your work into the full autonomy stack. * Own features end to end: design, implementation, testing on real machines, and iteration. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: * Bachelor's or Master's degree (completed or nearing completion) in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. * Formula Student Driverless experience with leadership experience a nice to have * Working knowledge of machine learning and/or autonomous/robotic systems (perception, state estimation, planning, control, simulation) * The FS mindset: hands-on, deadline-driven, comfortable with getting their hands dirty with real hardware and takes initiative to help improve how things are done. NICE TO HAVE: * Proficiency in Python and/or C++ * ROS 2 experience. WHY THIS IS THE NATURAL NEXT STEP AFTER FORMULA STUDENT: * We take machines and make them autonomous * Small team, high ownership, fast iteration * Most of our team are ex-Formula Student members * Learn from engineers with deep expertise in AI, robotics, and autonomous systems. WHAT WE OFFER: * Build physical AI for the world's largest off-highway machinery – making them intelligent, safe, and ready for every tough task * Join the pioneer in intelligent robotics backed by Point Nine & other Tier 1 investors * Combine cutting-edge robotics research in end-to-end learning & Vision Language Action Model with real-world heavy mobile equipment * Tailor your own career path, whether you like to become technical specialist or technical team lead * Experience a great team culture, beverages, and an amazing office environment BENEFITS: * Attractive compensation package and stock options. * Beverages on-site and regular social events. * Engage with top-tier researchers, engineers, and thought leaders. * Influence the future of robotic technologies and tackle significant technological challenges. * Assistance with relocation to Berlin.
