# Senior Robotic Systems Engineer

**Clera** · Munich

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/e00cc88f-66b5-49b2-a2f9-d6b716064ec1

## About Clera

Stop applying to startups. Start getting introduced. Clera connects you directly with hiring managers at the companies you want to work for.

## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a foundational engineering role at an early-stage industrial robotics startup in Munich, where you will own the core robotics software stack end-to-end. The team is small and ambitious, building a fully flexible, intelligent robotic work cell for demanding real-world tasks such as surface finishing, welding, and coating. Your work will directly shape the architecture and direction of the product.

##### What You'll Do

- Own and evolve the core robotics software stack for an industrial robotic work cell.

- Develop and optimize motion planning, trajectory generation, and control algorithms.

- Integrate perception systems, including cameras, force/torque sensors, and LiDAR, into real-time control loops.

- Implement industrial safety concepts and fail-safe behaviors.

- Lead on-site testing, calibration, and commissioning of the robotic system.

- Drive architecture decisions and establish engineering best practices across the team.

##### What We're Looking For

- 5 or more years of robotics engineering experience working with real robot hardware, not simulation only.

- Hands-on experience with industrial or collaborative robot arms (such as those from major industrial arm manufacturers), end-of-arm tooling, and associated sensors.

- Strong foundation in kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and control theory.

- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python; comfort with ROS 2 is a strong plus.

- Experience with 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks or CATIA.

- Hands-on experience integrating vision and force/torque sensors into real-time control loops.

- Experience deploying robotic systems in real industrial production environments.

- Background in surface finishing, welding, or coating automation is a strong plus.

- Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT or OPC-UA is a plus.

- Eligible to work in Germany and able to work on-site in Munich five days per week.

- Fluent English; German is a plus.

- Comfortable with high ownership, broad architectural scope, and a fast-moving startup environment.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Estimated cash compensation is approximately **€75,000 to €110,000 annually**, plus meaningful equity participation. Visa sponsorship is not available; candidates must already be eligible to work in Germany.

##### Location

On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Five days per week in the office. Remote work is not available for this role.
