Germany

**About the role**

You’ll take responsibility for key parts of the control stack state estimation, sensor fusion, gait generation and whole-body control, working closely with software, electrical and mechanical teammates. You’ll iterate on real hardware in our lab, ship code to field-ready robots, and help turn solid engineering into value for people and industry. If you care about clean solutions, respectful collaboration and technology that genuinely helps, you’ll feel at home here.

## Tasks

*   Design, develop, and implement advanced control algorithms for legged robotic platforms, focusing on dynamic stability, agile locomotion, and terrain adaptability
*   Develop software for real-time data processing, state estimation, and sensor fusion to support gait generation and balance control
*   Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers to integrate control systems with actuators, sensors, and power systems
*   Conduct system-level testing, tuning, and debugging of locomotion control algorithms on physical robots
*   Optimize performance for robust stability, energy efficiency, and responsive terrain adaptation in real-world environments
*   Research and apply state-of-the-art techniques in legged locomotion control, force/torque optimization, and predictive motion planning

## Requirements

**What you bring to the table**

**_Technical must-haves_**

*   Excellent programming skills in **Python, C, and C++**
*   Minimum **3 years of experience** with **ROS (1/2)** and Linux-based systems
*   Proven experience integrating sensors and actuators using interfaces such as **Serial, I²C, SPI, UART, and USB**
*   Strong understanding of **robot kinematics, dynamics, and mathematical modeling**, especially for **multi-legged platforms**
*   Practical experience with **model-based real-time control systems** (linear control theory; experience with **model predictive control** is a plus)
*   Familiarity with gait **generation, inverse dynamics, and force/torque control** for legged robots
*   Basic knowledge of **machine learning** for adaptive control and terrain classification
*   Experience in **hardware-related programming** (e.g., microcontroller firmware)
*   Ability to work independently from concept to prototype and deployment
*   High degree of **commitment, problem-solving skills, and ownership**  

**_Your mindset & working style_**

*   You work **independently**, think **entrepreneurially**, and carry projects through to completion, even without detailed briefs.
*   You have **startup experience** or the genuine drive to dive deep, **take ownership**, and **build something great with us**.
*   You’re not a 9-to-5 type; you have the drive and loyalty to think, shape, and **grow with us**.
*   You’re team-oriented but don’t need constant guidance, you enjoy taking responsibility.
*   You bring **technical depth**, an appetite **for real challenges**, and high quality standards.

## Benefits

**What you can expect**

At N Robotics we pair high standards with heart: 

*   **Real impact, fast:** Your code runs on real robots - not months later, but as part of short, hands-on build-test cycles.
*   **Close collaboration:** Work directly with founders and senior engineers in a low-bureaucracy, high-trust environment.
*   **Modern workspace in Berlin**: Fully equipped lab and shop (3D printers, CNC mills, test rigs) plus quiet focus areas. Everything on site in Tempelhof.
*   **Growth we enable:** Budget for courses & conferences, regular workshops, peer reviews and knowledge sharing.
*   **Healthy & human:** Supportive, respectful team culture with regular team events and 30 days of vacation.Fair package: Competitive salary, great tools and the autonomy to shape how we build.

**About us**

We’re a Berlin deep-tech startup building mobile robots that move safely and reliably in the real world. Our core focus is legged mobility and robust, field-ready systems from prototype to production.  
What matters to us: owning responsibility, striving for excellence, acting entrepreneurially, growing together and staying human. We work hands-on, fast and on-site in Berlin. Diversity is our standard, different perspectives make our product and our team stronger.
