Staff Software Engineer, Robot Platform

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop the end-to-end robot platform, including HAL, control integration, and process orchestration.
• Design and implement whole-body motion and indoor mobility systems.
• Own the functional‑safety and reliability posture to ensure safe operation.
• Develop OTA and fleet‑operations back‑end, managing staged rollouts, rollbacks, remote provisioning, and health monitoring across a growing fleet.
• Implement observability across the fleet, including logging, metrics, tracing, and black‑box recording.
• Lead hardware‑software integration, handling bring‑up, calibration, and integration of new sensors, actuators, and components.

• Passion to build and deploy capable and reliable humanoid robots.
• Affinity and love for complex systems – a deep‑tech focus on home care.
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience with robotic hardware.
• Solid understanding and extensive hands‑on experience with:
  • ROS2
  • Container‑based deployment on arm
    64
  • Linux
  • Jetson platforms
• Experience with git and CI workflows for robotics/embedded systems.
• Hands‑on experience with robot kinematics and dynamics, control & actuation, navigation & mobility.
• High level of ownership, ability to work at varying abstraction levels, strong interdisciplinary communication, and pragmatic problem solving.
• Existing authorization to work in Germany.

• Hands‑on experience with bi‑manual mobile‑manipulator platforms.
• Experience with teleoperation systems – WebRTC, Unity, real‑time robot control links.
• Fleet/device management and OTA at scale, deploying robots in the field.
• Firmware and low‑level drivers; end‑effector / gripper integration.
• Awareness of robot safety standards.

Building physical AI for real homes is an unsolved challenge, and no single person has all the answers. If you have a strong engineering foundation and the drive to figure it out, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every single box.

• Competitive base salary calibrated to your experience.
• Entrepreneurial ESOP package: significant equity vesting over 4 years, giving you skin in the game to build serious wealth as we 10x.
• Impact & autonomy: flat structure working directly alongside the CTO and cross‑functional tech team, freedom to design the stack.
• Work that matters: help millions live with dignity, powered by tech you helped build and deploy.
• A front‑row seat at one of Europe’s most ambitious robotics scale‑ups.

Devanthro is building physical AI for every home. We are tackling the ultimate frontier of robotics: bringing robots to real homes, living with real people and doing real work. Our path into the world starts with care for the elderly in their own home – a massive, urgent societal need. Since making history in 2024 with the first humanoid deployed in a private residence, our momentum has exploded.

Hundreds of seniors across Germany and Switzerland tested our robots and love them. Now, backed by top‑tier investors, our fast‑growing team of technologists, operators, company builders and people who care is taking our physical AI from first successful homes to scaled deployments.

If you want to build autonomous robots that escape the lab and ship into unstructured and messy homes, this role is for you.

We are building robots with heart. Come join us.
