Software Engineer - Product Care

The Opportunity

As a Software Engineer - Product Care you will play a crucial role in making autonomous robots a reality. As we deploy hundreds, then thousands of robots in the coming years, our customers and world will only adopt robots that are extremely reliable and performant. If you join our team, you’ll help create and stabilize a multi-disciplinary, product-oriented team that will evolve ANYmal’s reliability and performance.

As you perform and grow, you can help generations of ANYmals (and potentially other forms of future robots and robotic systems) mature.

Market & Technology

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the (renewable) energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, to perform jobs and deliver high-quality, consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware

Your Contributions

• Evolve and maintain the robot’s firmware and drivers
• Enable the integration of product improvements, e.g. new sensors or payloads, both in the software stack and in the production process
