(Senior) Robotics Testing and Applications Engineer (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

Our talent team is representing a confidential robotics organization in Munich seeking a Senior Robotics Testing and Applications Engineer. In this role, you will:

• Design, develop, and execute structured test plans for robotic components, modules, and fully integrated systems
• Validate functionality, robustness, and performance of software and hardware in real robotic platforms
• Develop Python-based test scripts, tools, and automation frameworks to improve testing efficiency and coverage
• Contribute C++ code when required for low-level testing, tooling, or integration support
• Analyze robot behavior and system performance, identifying root causes for issues related to kinematics, motion planning, control, perception, or hardware interaction
• Evaluate and debug complex robotic behaviors such as singularities, joint limit violations, trajectory instabilities, and configuration inconsistencies
• Work with URDF models, coordinate transformations, and robot descriptions to validate system correctness
• Support development and refinement of application demos, internal showcases, and customer-facing use cases
• Collaborate closely with software, electronics, controls, and mechanical teams to reproduce issues and validate fixes
• Document test procedures, results, defects, and system performance in a clear and structured manner
• Contribute to continuous improvement of testing strategies, coverage, and automation infrastructure
• Support field tests, prototype validation, demos and integration activities when required

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
• Minimum 5 years of experience in robotics testing, applications engineering, integration, or system validation roles
• Strong hands-on experience writing Python for testing, automation, data analysis, and robot interaction
• Experience with C++ (especially for writing tests, tools, or interfacing with robot drivers)
• Solid understanding of core robotics concepts, including kinematics, dynamics, singularities, joint limits, URDFs, coordinate transformations, and motion constraints
• Experience testing and validating software and hardware modules in integrated robotic systems
• Ability to design, execute, and analyze structured test plans — including edge case testing, regression testing, and real-world scenario validation
• Strong debugging skills across software and hardware layers
• Experience with Git, JIRA, and structured issue tracking workflows
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and system-level understanding
• Excellent communication and documentation skills in English

Beneficial experience:

• Building and maintaining robotics application demos for internal stakeholders or customers
• Automated testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines for robotics software
• Motion planning frameworks and validation of planning outputs
• Perception systems (cameras, LiDAR, IMUs) and sensor integration testing
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or simulation-in-the-loop (SIL) validation
• Robotics safety concepts and validation procedures
• Supporting customer deployments or reproducing field issues
• Data visualization, performance benchmarking, or telemetry analysis
• German or Mandarin language skills
