Robotics Control Engineer

About RoboService

As the technological capabilities of humanoid (and other generalist) robots advance, there is an increasing demand among German companies to integrate these robots into their workforce. This is what RoboService does: We provide "Robots-as-a-Service" and provide companies with the robots that they need to automate their tasks. As a Robotics Software Engineer, you are responsible for writing the software that makes hardware intelligent.

What you'll do:

Below are some of the core focus areas for Robot Control Engineers at RoboService:

• Implement and tune joint-space torque/velocity/position control loops
• Integrate and bring up motor/actuator drivers (e.g., EtherCAT/CAN) and write hardware abstraction layers in ROS 2.
• Integrate and calibrate sensors (IMU, force/torque, encoders, depth/cameras, LiDAR, tactile); implement ROS 2 drivers/nodes, set up time sync (PTP/NTP), and build filtering/fusion (e.g., EKF) for reliable state estimation.
• Build simulation and bring-up tests in Gazebo/Isaac; create rosbag logging, plotting, and dashboards.
• Collaborate with the team on safety: E-stop chain, watchdogs, limits, interlocks, and failure modes.
• Document your work and create small how-to's so others can reproduce results quickly.

TechStack you'll touch

ROS 2 (Humble/Jazzy) · C++20 / Python · Git/GitHub (Actions/CI) · Gazebo/Isaac · CAN/EtherCAT · Jetson/Orin & x86 · STM32/Teensy · GTest/pytest · basic MPC/impedance/PID controllers · Linux/RT tuning basics.

Prerequisites
