Senior Software Engineer (gn) Algorithms/ Robotic Motion/ Python

Permanent employee, Full-time · Dresden

Your mission
Here at Wandelbots we want to accelerate the development of robotic applications. For that, we are looking for your help in building crucial parts of our platform. You will be part of a team working with customers on building automation applications. 

Your objective will be building intelligent path generation solutions, for example based on vision input. This can range from rather use-case-specific process paths, to more generic safe-move-to-home or intelligent scan pose calculations. This will become even more complex once we add a work-piece-positioner into the equation. The longer-term goal is to generalize these experiences and extract building blocks as new features for our platform. 

What we expect you to bring to the table is a pragmatic sense for solving problems in ways that are as simple as possible, yet as complex as necessary. You know when to use the full weight of mathematical abstractions and optimization, but also when a simple hack will do the trick. You also don’t shy away from mentoring younger, less experienced colleagues.
Your profile
  • You love challenges, solve problems, work in a self-initiated way, and are reliable.

  • You have a strong mathematical background with a focus on linear algebra, numerical optimization, statistics, and related areas.

  • You are capable of designing and evaluating optimization algorithms. You are familiar with terms like duality, non-linear or dynamic programming. You possess a thorough understanding of data structures, paired with strong algorithmic and logical thinking.

  • You love robots. You have worked with them before, and you show a strong interest in practical robotic problems in regards to robotic applications and safety.

  • You have several years of experience building software with Python, including a deep understanding of how to profile and debug even complex Python applications.

  • You have no trouble defining a CI/CD pipeline generating test and release containers, that also runs tests.

  • You are a team player, open, communicative, passionate, and ambitious.

  • You are confident in the use of software design patterns and are able to communicate about them.

  • You enjoy learning and are happy to share knowledge with your colleagues.

  • You are fluent in English, both written and spoken, and you have at least started learning German.


You are awesome if

  • Quaternions or conformal geometric algebra are tools you are comfortable using.

  • You have knowledge in fields related to Computer Vision.

  • You possess experience with applying signal processing or machine learning algorithms.

  • You have a deep understanding of how to develop scalable high-quality software.

  • You can think outside of the box to find the best solution, engaging others along the way.

About us

EASY-TO-USE-ROBOTICS FOR EVERYONE

Imagine a world with more room to unleash our unique  cognitive strengths at work. A world where all people – whether craftsmans,  blue-collars worker or engineers – have access to automation technologies that  perform inhuman, monotonous and high-precision tasks much more efficiently than we do. 

At Wandelbots, we're fundamentally reshaping the way to work  with robots. We eliminate the complexity and develop easy-to-use solutions to  speed up automation and empower everyone to work with industrial robots and beyond.

Mission 

2017 founded, Wandelbots employs more than 100 people from 14 countries today. From our headquarters in Dresden Germany, we are giving our heart and soul to follow our mission, to empower everybody to easily work with robots.
