Deployment Engineer - Robotics

About the role
We are looking for a mid–senior Deployment Engineer to take robotic systems from development to production and keep them running reliably in the real world. 

This role sits at the intersection of: 

• robotics systems (ROS-based)  

• software delivery (CI/CD, containers, releases)  

• real-world deployment constraints (networks, hardware, field debugging)  

You will own how software moves from code → robot → fleet, and how issues are detected, diagnosed, and resolved. 

This is not a traditional DevOps or field role. 
We are looking for someone who can build systems, not just operate them, and who can quickly create MVPs to validate ideas. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Be actively involved in production to integrate, deploy, and scale robotic systems effectively 

• Collaborate with software and testing teams to ensure systems are deployable, testable, and reliable in production 

• Deploy, configure, and maintain robotic systems, including controllers, radios, communication networks, and associated software stacks 

• Work closely with the software team to deploy, validate, and monitor firmware, drivers, and system configurations on robots 

• Design and maintain end-to-end deployment pipelines for ROS-based systems (build, package, release, deploy) 

• Automate deployment workflows and troubleshoot robotic systems across CAN, Ethernet, and wireless networks 

• Continuously optimize deployment processes to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability in production environments 

• Document deployment procedures, system configurations, and troubleshooting workflows for effective knowledge sharing 

• Continuously improve deployment reliability, rollback strategies, and system observability 

Your Profile 

• Strong experience with ROS 2 and robotics software systems  

• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python, with solid Linux fundamentals  

• Hands-on experience with containerized systems and CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitLab) 

• Strong scripting skills in Python and Bash for automation and tooling  

• Good understanding of networking and communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, wireless) 

• Proficiency in English. 

What helps you succeed in this role 

• You enjoy understanding how parts of a system connect and influence each other  

• You take ownership of problems and collaborate to drive them to resolution  

• You are comfortable working with evolving requirements and iterating on solutions  

• You like experimenting and building quick prototypes to test ideas  

• You care about delivering reliable solutions that work well for users and in production 

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.

Benefits and Perks

• A shaping role in an emerging dual use company
• Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team
• Room for professional growth and development
• Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
