ABOUT NAXON
Naxon Robotics deploys swarms of mobile robots, quadrupeds, wheeled robots and drones, for security and industrial inspection. The fleet patrols perimeters, detects anomalies and inspects assets as one coordinated system, covering more ground 24/7 , delivering more value and reaching ROI faster than a single robot or a fleet of disconnected ones.
Why now: rising threats to critical infrastructure, too few people in security and industry , cheap and reliable hardware and fast moving AI agents. Hardware is ready . Deployment is not. Every new site is still a months-long expert project, so pilots rarely turn into rollouts. We make deployment repeatable, with swarms and an agentic platform that learns from each site.
Backed by EWOR, TUM VLABs and a robotics founder who built and exited a drone swarm company . Mentored by unicorn founders and Prof. Johannes Betz (autonomous driving and robotics, TUM).
THE ROLE
You own the autonomy stack every robot in our fleet runs on: SLAM, localisation and navigation, indoors and outdoors, across quadrupeds, wheeled robots and drones. You take it from the lab to production at customer sites and keep it robust there.
As the fleet grows, you grow the stack into multi robot coordination. This is the core the whole company scales on. You own the stack. The Field Robotics Engineer owns what runs at the customer.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Build and own SLAM, localisation, mapping and navigation, indoor and outdoor
Select, combine and calibrate sensors: lidar , depth, RGB, thermal, IMU and GNSS
Generalise the stack across quadrupeds, wheeled robots and drones
Test and tune on real robots with benchmarks and field data, not only in simulation
Define what runs on the robot and what runs in the cloud, including failure and fallback
Take the stack to production at customer sites, then extend it to multi robot coordination
WHAT YOU BRING
Has taken SLAM or an autonomy stack to production at real customers, not only research demos
Strong in SLAM, localisation, state estimation and motion planning
Expert in ROS2, C++ and Python, and a heavy user of AI coding agents
Hands on with quadrupeds, wheeled robots or drones and their sensors on real hardware
MSc / PhD plus 2 to 4 years in industry, or equivalent proven experience
WHY JOIN NAXON
The challenge: one map shared across quadrupeds, wheeled robots and drones, task allocation across a live site, and an edge/cloud split over networks that drop
Full ownership of your area, from architecture to what runs at the customer , and a clear path into leading it
Real robots at real customer sites, from research to working reliably in real world conditions
Hands-on work with cutting-edge robotics, hardware and AI
Competitive salary and equity (VSOP / ESOP) as a founding team member
Backing from EWOR and robotics mentors who have built, scaled and exited companies
A supportive and inclusive team that values ownership and creativity
170.000 - 250.000 €
