You will take end-to-end technical ownership and responsibility of a mission-critical robotics product where perception, system performance, and reliability directly impact operational success.\nWorking closely with product leadership, you will translate customer requirements into a technical strategy, define the engineering roadmap, and lead execution from architecture through deployment to delivery.\nThis is a role for builders with a extreme ownership and focus mindset and braveness to decide. We believe technical leaders should be embedded to the code, challenge assumptions, validate ideas in the field, and lead by example. You won't just define the technical direction, you'll build it alongside your team.\nYour Mission\nOwn the technical vision, architecture and development of a complex autonomous robotics product.\nTranslate operational requirements by customers into clear technical goals and engineering milestones.\nDefine the technical roadmap and drive execution from concept to the field.\nMake key technical decisions across perception, sensor integrationand robotics software applications.\nLead by example through hands-on software engineering and system integration.\nGuide and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team, fostering technical excellence and ownership.\nChallenge complexity, prioritize what matters, and focus the team on delivering the next milestone.\nValidate solutions through real-world testing and continuously improve system performance.\nCollaborate with other internal tech teams to capitalize on synergies.\nReport on and evaluate technical challenges and work closely with the CTO on solutions.\nYour profile\nAt least 5-6 years of experiencebuilding robotics, autonomous or real-time systems.\nYou already build a successful company, product or project in a similar field.\nStrong experience in robotics perception, sensor integrationand system architecture.\nExcellent C++ skills, with solid experience in ROS2, Linuxand Python.\nHands-on experience integrating sensors such as LiDAR, camerasor IMUs.\nExperience taking complex systems from concept through deployment to product.\nA hands-on technical leader who enjoys co-creation alongside the team.\nExtreme ownership mindset with the ability to make pragmatic technical decisions under uncertainty.\nExcellent communication skills and the ability to drive technical discussions and align and motivate engineering teams.\nComfortable working in a fast-moving environment under uncertainty where execution matters more than process.\nStrong motivator, coach and servant leader and willingness to develop engineer for better.\nNice to have\nExperience with computer vision, object trackingor sensor fusion.\nExperience with embedded or edge computing platforms.\nFamiliarity with GPU acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT).\nExperience with autonomous robots, dronesor autonomous vehicles.\nBackground in safety-critical or high-performance systems.\nWhat else\nCitizenship of a NATO member country or close ally.\nWillingsness to work onsite in Munich and to travel.\nWhy us?\nOwn the technical direction of a cutting-edgerobotics product.\nWork on challenging engineering problems with real-world impact.\nStay hands-on while shaping architecture and technical strategy.\nTest and iterate on real robotic systems, not just simulations.\nJoin a team that values ownership, fast executionand building systems that work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3896,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T14:57:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":37,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.668,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":35,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:29","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/autonomous-teaming-lead-engineer-robotics-autonomous-systems-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/autonomous-teaming-lead-engineer-robotics-autonomous-systems-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T03:42:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion
