Job Description
- On-site | Zurich
- CHF 100,000 โ CHF 120,000 + Equity
- Robotics | Autonomy | Critical Infrastructure
Join a high-caliber, early-stage robotics startup building autonomous systems for real-world security and critical infrastructure environments.
This is not simulation work.
This is field deployment, safety constraints, and autonomy in the wild.
You'll own the navigation and autonomy stack end-to-end โ from sensor integration to control โ in a high-trust, high-ownership environment.
What You'll Do
- Own navigation stack:
- Sensor integration
- State estimation & SLAM
- Global planning & local control
- Build end-to-end systems:
- Drivers calibration fusion navigation control
- Ensure performance, safety, and reliability in real environments
- Deploy and iterate on robots in the field (not just simulation)
- Make architecture decisions and operate with high autonomy
