Robotics Vision & Perception Engineer (m/f/d)

<p><a href="http://www.batch-robotics.com/">Batch Robotics</a> is revolutionizing how robots operate in factories — not through rigid programming or teaching by human demonstration, but with smart perception and AI intelligence. We are a team of 4 motivated people with +25 years of experience in industry and robotics. Our mission is to make robots smarter and more flexible, enabling batch-size-1 automation for surface treatment economically. Our technology helps factories in Europe to remain competitive with intelligent robotics.</p> <p>We are now looking for a <strong>Robotics Vision &#x26; Perception Engineer (m/f/d)</strong> with technical excellence and entrepreneurial drive to join us in developing the next generation of AI-driven robotic systems!</p> <h2>Tasks</h2> <p><strong>Multi-Camera &#x26; Sensor Fusion:</strong> Architect, integrate, optimize and evaluate multi-camera vision and other sensor hardware perception systems. This includes developing robust multi-sensor calibration, synchronization, and visual-inertial or multi-modal fusion strategies that withstand environment variability and industrial noise of factories.</p> <p><strong>Data Pipelines &#x26; ML Ops:</strong> Build end-to-end data pipelines spanning real-world vision and sensor (e.g. force, structured light, laser scanners) data ingestion, dataset management, and synthetic data generation via simulation tools.</p> <p><strong>3D Perception &#x26; Shape Reconstruction:</strong> Design, implement, and optimize computer vision and perception sensor software algorithms and ML systems to automate the generation of a digital twin of the workspace and workpiece under real-world factory constraints.</p> <p><strong>Factory Integration:</strong> Deploy trained models into low-latency, production-grade robotics systems, ensuring real-time inference and seamless communication of the perception stack with robot control and policy pathways.</p> <p><strong>Evaluation &#x26; Industrial Robustness:</strong> Run permanent, rigorous evaluation experiments, failure mode analyses, and benchmarking against accuracy and latency thresholds to guarantee fail-safe operation on the physical factory floor.</p> <h2>Requirements</h2> <p><strong>Research Background:</strong> Master’s degree in CS, Engineering, or a related field, alongside 3+ years of industrial experience or a completed Ph.D. in computer vision. You are capable of transferring new research papers in working code and can optimize for industrial-grade reliability.</p> <p><strong>Core Technical Stack:</strong> Deep, hands-on experience with 3D point cloud data and geometric libraries (e.g. Open3D), working with concepts like geometric registration, shape reconstruction, spatial queries, and surface segmentation.</p> <p><strong>Coding Excellence:</strong> Strong proficiency in Python with agentic programming; CUDA, C++ and/or Rust is an advantage.</p> <p><strong>Hands-On Attitude:</strong> Proven track record of deploying industrial vision systems and handling noisy, temporal, or large-scale data. Comfortable deploying systems on-site in the field yourself and continuously improving the hardware-software perception stack.</p> <p><strong>Soft Skills:</strong> Entrepreneurial drive, solution-oriented mindset, high agency and the ability to take direct responsibility in a fast-paced startup environment.</p> <h2>Benefits</h2> <p><strong>Impact:</strong> The unique opportunity to rethink industrial automation for batch-size-1 with cutting-edge AI to maintain European manufacturing sovereignty.</p> <p><strong>Growth:</strong> Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts in a high-growth VC-funded startup.</p> <p><strong>Ownership:</strong> opportunity to actively shape the company's technical direction; potential shares in the company.</p> <p><strong>Environment:</strong> A modern, central workspace in Munich with a collaborative, international culture.</p> <p>Want to shape the future of industrial robotics?</p> <p>We look forward to meeting you!</p> <p>Find <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.com/">Jobs in Germany</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
