Senior Scientific Software Engineer (gn)

Your mission

Here at Wandelbots we want to accelerate the development of robotic applications. For that, we are looking for your help in building crucial parts of our platform. You will be part of a team working with customers on building automation applications. Your objective will be building intelligent path generation solutions, for example based on vision input. This can range from rather use-case-specific process paths, to more generic safe-move-to-home or intelligent scan pose calculations. This will become even more complex once we add a work-piece-positioner into the equation. The longer-term goal is to generalize these experiences and extract building blocks as new features for our platform. What we expect you to bring to the table is a pragmatic sense for solving problems in ways that are as simple as possible, yet as complex as necessary. You know when to use the full weight of mathematical abstractions and optimization, but also when a simple hack will do the trick. You also don’t shy away from mentoring younger, less experienced colleagues.

Your profile

What you need

• You love challenges, solve problems, work in a self-initiated way, and are reliable.

• You have a strong mathematical background with a focus on linear algebra, numerical optimization, statistics, and related areas.

• You are capable of designing and evaluating optimization algorithms. You possess a thorough understanding of data structures, paired with strong algorithmic and logical thinking.
