Robotics Vision & Perception Engineer (m/f/d)

About Batch Robotics

Batch Robotics is reimagining factory automation by combining intelligent perception and AI rather than relying on fixed programming or manual demonstrations. The team is small, experienced, and focused on helping European manufacturers stay competitive through smarter, more adaptable robotics for batch-size-1 surface treatment.

The company is hiring a Robotics Vision & Perception Engineer (m/f/d) who brings strong technical depth as well as an entrepreneurial mindset to help build the next generation of AI-based robotic systems.

What you will do

• Design, connect, tune, and assess multi-camera and sensor-fusion perception systems, including calibration, synchronization, and robust visual-inertial or multi-modal fusion for noisy factory settings.
• Develop end-to-end data workflows for real-world vision and sensor inputs, covering ingestion, dataset handling, and synthetic data generation through simulation tools.
• Create and improve computer vision and perception algorithms for 3D understanding, including digital-twin generation for workspaces and workpieces under industrial constraints.
• Integrate trained models into production robotics stacks with low latency, ensuring real-time inference and smooth communication with robot control and policy layers.
• Continuously test, benchmark, and analyze failures to keep the system safe, accurate, and performant on the factory floor.

What we are looking for

• A master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a similar field, plus at least 3 years of industry experience, or a completed PhD focused on computer vision.
• Ability to turn research ideas and papers into working, production-ready software with a strong focus on reliability.
• Practical experience with 3D point clouds and geometric libraries such as Open3D, along with tasks like registration, shape reconstruction, spatial queries, and surface segmentation.
• Very strong Python skills; experience with agentic programming is important. Knowledge of CUDA, C++, or Rust is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience deploying industrial vision solutions and working with noisy, time-based, or large-scale datasets.
• Willingness to work on site and improve the hardware-software stack directly in the field.
• Entrepreneurial thinking, a solution-focused approach, a high degree of initiative, and comfort taking direct ownership in a fast-moving startup.

Benefits

• The chance to help reshape industrial automation with advanced AI and contribute to the competitiveness of European manufacturing.
• Challenging work on meaningful projects in a growing, venture-backed startup alongside experienced specialists.
• Real influence over the technical direction of the company, with potential participation in company shares.
• A modern office in central Munich and a collaborative, international work culture.

Additional information

This role is based in Munich, Bavaria, Germany and is intended for on-site work. The company is looking for someone who can take direct responsibility and contribute quickly in a startup environment.

Ideal candidate profile

This position suits a technically excellent engineer who enjoys bridging research and real-world robotics, thrives in hands-on industrial environments, and wants to contribute to smarter, more flexible factory automation.
