Jobs in Germany
Berlin
We’re seeking an exceptional AI / Robotics Research Engineer to design and build vision-based autonomous systems operating in GPS-denied, fast-changing, and high-velocity environments (e.g., UAVs, aerial robotics). You’ll work hands-on at the intersection of deep reinforcement learning, real-time computer vision, model predictive control (MPC), and robotics, creating novel ML models and systems - not just stitching together open-source libraries.
You will collaborate with our hardware, embedded systems, and mechatronics teams to deploy AI models in the loop - in real-world settings with real consequences.
Tasks
- Design and implement custom machine learning architectures for vision-based navigation and control.
- Develop and optimize real-time perception systems using CNNs, transformers, or event-based vision.
- Apply deep reinforcement learning and MPC to guide autonomous behaviors in dynamic environments.
- Architect robust sensor fusion pipelines with IMUs, event cameras, lidar, radar, and visual odometry.
- Build, train, and evaluate ML models in simulation and deploy them to embedded hardware.
- Integrate AI with traditional control theory to achieve closed-loop autonomy at scale.
- Use and optimize NVIDIA toolkits (CUDA, TensorRT, DeepStream, Jetson) for performance-critical workloads.
Requirements
- 3–7+ years of hands-on experience in AI/ML, robotics, or autonomous systems research (industry or PhD/postdoc).
- Deep knowledge of real-time computer vision, sensor fusion, and model-based control.
- Strong expertise in deep reinforcement learning, optimal control, and/or hybrid AI systems.
- Track record of designing custom ML models or training pipelines, not just reusing open-source architectures.
- Advanced Python and C++ proficiency; deep familiarity with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow.
- Hands-on experience with NVIDIA’s GPU toolkits for embedded or real-time AI deployment.
- Experience deploying in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
- Preferably experience in aerospace, defense, or other high-velocity robotics environments.
Bonus Points
- Experience with event-based cameras (e.g., Prophesee, DVS).
- Publications in top-tier AI/robotics conferences (e.g., ICRA, NeurIPS, CVPR).
- Familiarity with GNC systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS), or flight software.
- Prior startup, defense, or aerospace engineering background.
Benefits
- Be part of a team building autonomous systems from the ground up.
- Access to bleeding-edge hardware and simulation environments.
- Competitive salary + equity.
- Full-time, on-site access to our custom-built lab space at Berlin TXL.
