At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimisation in real-world production environments.
With offices in Munich, San Francisco and Austin, and the support of leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation und Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation.

Your Mission

As a Senior 3D Perception Engineer – Robotics (m/f/d) , you will build the perception capabilities that allow RobCo’s modular robots to understand and interact with complex industrial environments.

Your primary focus will be 6D object pose estimation for challenging real-world tasks such as bin picking and precise manipulation in cluttered scenes. You will bridge cutting-edge computer vision research with production-grade software, ensuring perception algorithms are robust, scalable, and ready for industrial deployment.

Your Responsibilities

• Develop 6D pose estimation algorithms for robotic manipulation, bin picking, and localized grasping in cluttered environments

• Build robust perception systems that operate reliably under variable lighting and factory-floor conditions

• Design scalable perception architectures with clean data flow between vision modules and robot control systems

• Integrate perception into robotic systems in close collaboration with robotics, controls, and software teams

• Train and deploy ML-based vision models for object detection, keypoint detection, and scene understanding

• Optimize performance on real hardware , including GPUs and edge devices

• Test and debug on robots in tight feedback loops between simulation and real-world setups

• Mentor junior engineers and uphold high standards in code quality, testing, and documentation

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, AI, Electrical Engineering , or a related field

• 5+ years of professional experience in computer vision or robotics perception
  Deep expertise in 3D perception and 6D pose estimation , especially for robotic manipulation or bin picking

• Strong background in point cloud processing , multi-view geometry, and camera calibration

• Production-level proficiency in C++ and Python , with experience in ROS 2

• Experience training and deploying ML-based vision models in real-world systems

• Hands-on experience with vision hardware (industrial cameras, RGB-D sensors) and GPU-accelerated pipelines

• Pragmatic, hands-on mindset with comfort debugging directly on real robots

• Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.
• Help build robots powered by cutting-edge AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.
• As part of a highly dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you’ll take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.
• Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decision-making and support both your professional and personal development.
• Your benefits at a glance:
• Stay active with our subsidized Wellpass membership, giving you access to over 7,200 gyms and studios across Germany.
• Flexible working hours, a modern office, and—depending on the role—the option to work from home.
• Regular team events, ranging from relaxed beer & pizza nights on our rooftop terrace to shared experiences like ski trips or the Oktoberfest.
