Über diesen Job

The Opportunity
As our Head of System Architecture, you will define and lead the technical blueprint for a family of robots, ensuring a scalable, modular, and future-proof system design. This role bridges hardware, software, autonomy, inspection, and safety to create diverse robotic platforms derived from a shared central architecture. By establishing and governing a modular system design, you will enable ANYbotics to address multiple operational design domains (ODDs) such as energy, utilities, oil & gas, and heavy industry while anticipating future business models and technologies.
Market & Our Technology
ANYbotics is pioneering autonomous robotic platforms for industrial inspection and operation in challenging environments. From explosion-proof systems in oil & gas to agile scout robots in utilities, our platforms tackle the toughest tasks where safety and reliability are paramount. The System Architecture function is critical to ensuring that these diverse variants are all built on a shared, modular foundation—enabling speed, reusability, and interoperability. With your leadership, our platforms will not only serve today’s industries but also anticipate tomorrow’s needs, seamlessly integrating with external ecosystems such as fleet management, predictive maintenance, and digital twins.
About Us
ANYbotics is a leading robotics company specializing in advanced autonomous systems. With a successful Series B financing round recently closed, we are poised for rapid growth and international expansion. Our mission is to revolutionize the robotics industry through cutting-edge technology and innovation. As we embark on this exciting journey, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Team Lead to join our team and help us shape the future of robotic Locomotion.

Your Contributions

    • Define and govern a modular, layered reference system architecture (perception, planning, control, actuation, payload, safety, HMI)
    • Ensure the architecture is hardware-agnostic with clear interfaces to support multiple ODDs
    • Build a platform strategy where robot variants derive from the same central architecture
    • Define common modules for reuse and customizable modules for ODD-specific adaptation
    • Architect systems to anticipate future domains and emerging business models
    • Minimize architectural changes when adding certifications, subsystem upgrades, or AI/ML improvements
    • Ensure the architecture integrates with external ecosystems such as fleet management and digital twins
    • Promote a single modular software backbone that scales across robot platforms
    • Define standardized interfaces, middleware, and data models (ROS 2 or custom frameworks)
    • Implement configuration-driven builds to spin up new platforms quickly from shared modules
    • Lead the creation of a platform-derivation process balancing reuse and hardware-specific plug-ins
    • Embed certification and safety requirements into the architectural design process
    • Support the development of a unified simulation/test framework for multiple platform variants
    • Enable parameterized models for fast switching between robot configurations
    • Lead trade-off studies to balance payload, agility, endurance, and safety across variants
    • Maintain architecture documentation and roadmaps for scalability and future-proofing
    • Embed diagnostics, safety, and over-the-air updates across all robot platforms

Your Profile

    • MSc in Systems Engineering, Electronics, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field
    • 10+ years in robotics or complex systems engineering
    • 5+ years in system architecture leadership in industrial environments
    • Proven track record architecting and scaling mobile robotic systems
    • Expertise in translating customer needs and technology capabilities into modular platform strategies
    • Strong knowledge of autonomy stacks (SLAM, navigation, motion planning, fleet coordination)
    • Experience with real-time systems and middleware (e.g., ROS 2)
    • Skilled in hardware/software co-design across sensors, actuators, compute, and power
    • Experience with safety and cybersecurity compliance in robotic platforms
    • Ability to lead interdisciplinary teams and mentor engineers
    • Skilled at aligning system architecture with business strategy
    • Systems thinker with a future-oriented mindset
    • Comfortable with trade-offs and balancing innovation with product maturity

Bonus Points

    • Experience with Ex-certification or safety-critical robotic systems
    • Familiarity with large-scale simulation environments and digital twin integration
    • Track record of reducing time-to-market for robotic systems through platform reusability
    • Experience embedding certification/safety pathways into architectural frameworks
We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
