We are seeking a motivated (Senior) Software Engineer with practical experience applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) or Imitation Learning (IL) to high-DOF robotic systems in real-world settings. In this role, you will design and implement robust, end-to-end control policies for robots operating in unstructured environments, with a particular emphasis on closing the gap between simulation and reality.

Success in this role requires both technical excellence and the ability to adapt quickly and make sound decisions in uncertain, dynamic conditions.

• Design, maintain and deploy scalable, end-to-end training pipelines, including hyperparameter optimization
• Transfer control policies from simulation to real robotic hardware
• Integrate learned policies into a full-stack robotic system, including perception, planning, and actuation
• Analyze robot behavior and learning performance,e and iterate quickly based on real-world results
• Evaluate and benchmark state-of-the-art algorithms
• Stay updated with the latest research in RL and IL
• Work autonomously on open-ended, evolving tasks

• Master’s or PhD in robotics, computer science, engineering, or a related field
• Proven experience (5+ years) applying RL or IL in physical systems, preferably on high DOF robots
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++, PyTorch, ONNX, and common RL frameworks (e.g, Stable Baselines 3, RSL-RL)
• Experience with IsaacSim and IsaacLab or equivalent physics engines/frameworks
• Strong understanding of control theory, motion planning, and robot kinematics/dynamics
• Demonstrated success in sim-to-real transfer and deploying learning-based policies on physical robots
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in uncertain scenarios

• Experience using motion capture systems for data collection and imitation learning
• Background in developing visuomotor policies
• Experience with different robot embodiments

• A dynamic high-tech company combined with financial soundness and world-class investors
• Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 58+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment
• Lots of development opportunities in the context of our continued growth
• Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth
• Corporate Benefits Program that covers health, mobility, and learning with 100€ net per month
• Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment
