Robotics Engineering

Description

What You Will Do The entire learning pipeline — from data collection architecture to action policies for dexterous manipulation and safe physical AI. You will work directly with the founders to decide what we build, how we build it, and what we prioritize. Design, train and deploy end-to-end learning-based policies for home robots Ship autonomous robot skills to customers’ homes Implement learning pipeline for distributed, continual learning on a robot fleet deployed in customers’ homes What You Will Bring You have depth in robotics and autonomous manipulation, and you've meaningfully contributed to the field - through open-source work, robots that did actual work, or publications. You have: Taught physical robotsto do tasks autonomously, end-to-end— data collection → training → deployment on real hardware Have hands-on experience withBC,LfD, RL,DiT, RTC, VLA, WAMand solid theoretical understandingthereof Strong robotics fundamentals: kinematics/dynamics, control, ROS2. Strong software-engineering skills High levelof ownership,pragmatic system thinking,strong interdisciplinary communication skills You are no a**hole Nice to have Experience withNVIDIA Jetson platforms Experience with bi-manual mobile manipulators Experience withcompliant actuation systems Experience buildingscalable MLsystems Publications or open-source contributions in robot learning 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. What To Expect Compensation so you don’t have to worry: competitive base salary, calibrated to your experience Entrepreneurial ESOP Package: significant equity vesting over 4 years, your skin in the game to build serious wealth as we 10x Impact & Autonomy: Flat structure, greenfield AI architecture, no legacy systems, freedom to design the stack Work that matters: Help millionslive with dignity, powered by tech you helped build and deploy A front-row seat at one of Europe's most ambitious robotics scale-ups About us 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.
