About the Role
Join an early-stage industrial robotics startup in Munich as a junior AI Engineer on a focused ML and robotics team. You'll work on the core deep learning stack that enables robotic work cells to perceive and act in real industrial environments — covering tasks such as surface finishing, welding, and coating. This is a hands-on, high-impact role from day one, with room to grow into deployment and MLOps responsibilities as the platform matures. Early team members participate in equity.
Note: This role is fully on-site in Munich, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available.
What You'll Do
-
Train and implement deep learning models as part of the core robotics product.
-
Iterate on model architectures and training pipelines to improve real-world performance.
-
Support deployment of trained models to customer and edge environments.
-
Collaborate closely with the ML and robotics team on the core technical roadmap.
-
Contribute to on-site customer deployments and edge environment bring-up.
-
Design and run reproducible experiments, tracking evaluation metrics to drive continuous improvement.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
-
1+ years of hands-on experience training deep learning models using Python and PyTorch (academic thesis, research project, or industry work counts).
-
Proficiency with Docker for environment replication and model deployment.
-
Comfort working in a Linux / command-line environment.
-
Experience deploying trained models to production or customer environments.
Strong advantages:
-
Familiarity with Slurm or other cluster job scheduling systems.
-
Experience with ONNX or other model export / interoperability tools; interest in edge or on-device deployment.
-
Background or strong interest in computer vision, robotics, or physical systems.
-
Experience with data versioning tools such as DVC.
-
Cloud deployment experience.
-
Fluency in English; German is a plus.
-
Rigorous, analytical mindset with a habit of structured experimentation.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
-
Equity participation as an early team member.
-
Opportunity to shape the technical direction of a growing robotics platform.
