Working Student - Robotics Hardware/Software Integration (F/M/D)

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Working Student / Intern in Robotics Integration who thrives at the intersection of advanced AI and physical hardware. If you find it incredibly satisfying to see code you wrote translate into precise, real-world robot movement, this role is for you. You will play a vital part in our data collection pipelines and model inference strategy, tackling the unique challenges of making software resilient against real-world hardware unpredictability. You won't be watching from the sidelines; your code will directly drive our robots.

Responsibilities

• Integrate Hardware: Design and build stable ROS2-based interfaces for new robots, arms, hands, and sensors, ensuring high-frequency, smooth data streams for live inference.
• Engineer for Resilience: Physical hardware can be unpredictable. You will implement robust error-handling and build smart auto-restart mechanisms to keep our stack running reliably.
• Deploy AI to the Edge: Create and optimize ROS2 nodes that run advanced neural networks in inference mode, turning model outputs into physical hardware commands.
• Guarantee Stability: Write rigorous tests to ensure our code remains rock-solid during both large scale data collection runs and live, high-stakes deployments.
• Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Robotics, CS, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
• Proficient in Python (rclpy, numpy, pytest). C++ is a major plus.
• Understanding of robotics fundamentals (kinematics, rotation matrices, position/impedance control).
• Hands-on experience with ROS2, Docker, and virtual environments (uv).
• Direct experience working with physical robots (robot arms, hands, sensors, cameras).
• Bonus points if you’ve previously worked at a startup or have deployed RL/VLA manipulation policies on physical hardware.
• Work with a world-class team in a flat hierarchy, with direct collaboration alongside the founders and engineering team
• Opportunity to make a real impact by working on cutting-edge robotics and AI systems
• Fast growth potential in a rapidly evolving company and industry
• International office environment with English as the official working language
