We combine the latest technology in the field of AI with powerful robotic systems - from industrial robot arms and mobile manipulators to humanoids - to solve tasks that classical automation cannot address.\nAt the heart of our offering is a versatile software platform for orchestrating complex robotic systems. It allows efficient customization for specific customer requirements: configuring systems, developing reusable skills, parameterizing processes, and executing tasks reliably in production. Learned models - from perception to end-to-end policies - are a core part of this platform.\nOur solutions are deployed with international customers across a wide range of industries. Seamless integration and scalable deployment are at the core of our mission.\nWe are looking for a passionate Forward Deployed AI Engineer to bring state-of-the-art robot learning and computer vision models into real production environments. In this role, you will train, fine-tune, and deploy AI models directly on customer robots - from Vision-Language-Action models and diffusion policies to perception and grasp generation networks. You will become a trusted technical partner, turning customer challenges into robust, data-driven robotics applications. The role is based in Munich, Germany.\nResponsibilities\nDeploy, fine-tune, and evaluate AI models on real robotic systems at customer sites - including Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, diffusion policies, and other end-to-end learned policies\nAdapt and train perception models for robotic applications, e.g. object detection, segmentation, and pose estimation based on YOLO, SAM, vision transformers, and self-supervised backbones such as DINOv2\nIntegrate and tune grasp generation models (e.g., GraspNet, Dex-Net, Contact-GraspNet) for bin picking and manipulation tasks\nBuild data pipelines for customer deployments: demonstration and teleoperation recording, dataset curation, annotation, training runs, and systematic evaluation of model performance\nBring models into production: optimize inference, deploy on edge and embedded hardware, and integrate models into our robotic software platform\nWork closely with customers to understand technical requirements and translate them into robust, AI-driven robotics applications\nDiagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve model, software, and system integration issues both remotely and on-site\nTravel to international customer sites for workshops, deployments, training, and technical support (up to 40% travel)\nEssential Skills\nMaster's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience\nMinimum of four years of professional experience in machine learning, AI for robotics, or computer vision\nHands-on experience working with real robots - robot arms, mobile manipulators, grippers, cameras, and sensors - not only in simulation\nProven experience with end-to-end learned models for robotics (e.g., VLAs, diffusion policies, imitation or reinforcement learning policies), covering training, fine-tuning, and deployment\nStrong programming skills in both Python and C++\nSolid command of machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and the full model lifecycle: data curation, training, evaluation, and deployment\nExperience with modern computer vision models such as YOLO, SAM, vision transformers, and self-supervised backbones (e.g., DINOv2, CLIP)\nExperience with learned grasp generation for manipulation (e.g., GraspNet, Dex-Net, or comparable approaches)\nGood understanding of robot (inverse) kinematics, coordinate transformations, and hand-eye calibration\nExperience working in Linux environments\nWillingness to learn new technologies and adapt quickly in customer environments\nFluency in English\nBeneficial Skills\nExperience with large-scale demonstration data collection, teleoperation setups, and sim-to-real transfer\nExperience with robot learning simulation frameworks (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Lab, MuJoCo, Gazebo)\nGood understanding of classical computer vision (e.g., OpenCV, PCL, camera calibration, point cloud processing)\nExperience optimizing inference (e.g., TensorRT, ONNX, quantization) and deploying on NVIDIA embedded platforms (e.g., Jetson Orin, AGX, Xavier)\nExperience with MLOps tooling: experiment tracking, dataset versioning, and continuous training or evaluation pipelines\nPublications or open-source contributions in robot learning, manipulation, or computer vision\nFamiliarity with industrial automation environments (e.g., PLCs, EtherCAT, OPC UA)\nWhat we offer\nA dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.\n\nJoin an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.\n\nLots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.\n\nChallenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.\n\nCorporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month.\n\nModern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment\n\nAbout us\nAgile Robots SE is an international high-tech company based in Munich, Germany with a production site in Kaufbeuren and more than 3500 employees worldwide. Our mission is to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and robotics by developing systems that combine state-of-the-art force-moment-sensing and world-leading image-processing technology. This unique combination of technologies allows us to provide user-friendly and affordable robotic solutions that enable intelligent precision assembly. \nThis is made possible by our employees, who bring out the best in each and every day with creativity and enthusiasm.
