Sensor Software Engineer

The Opportunity

As a Sensor Software Engineer, you will take ownership of the evaluation, integration, and system-level deployment of sensor technologies that power our robotic platforms. You will independently assess new sensor modules, particularly camera and vision systems, and provide structured technical analyses and clear recommendations for adoption across current and next-generation robots.

You will design and implement reliable, production-grade perception software in modern C++ (≥ C++17) and Python, contributing to large, modular codebases with a strong focus on architecture, maintainability, and long-term scalability. Your work will bridge hardware and software, requiring a deep understanding of sensor characteristics, calibration, runtime behavior, and system-level interdependencies.

Beyond implementation, you will think in terms of outcomes. You will scope work effectively, drive technically challenging spatial intelligence features from concept to deployment, and collaborate closely with hardware, platform, and product teams to ensure system-level alignment. You will also design data-driven validation pipelines using metrics, visualization, and structured testing to continuously improve system robustness.

As we scale from hundreds to thousands of deployed robots, reliability, performance, and maintainability become non-negotiable. Your contributions will directly impact the robustness of our spatial intelligence stack and the trust customers place in our autonomous systems. By joining us, you will help define how advanced sensing and perception translate into dependable real-world autonomy.

ANYbotics is a leading robotics company specializing in advanced autonomous systems. With a successful Series B financing round recently closed, we are poised for rapid growth and international expansion. Our mission is to revolutionize the robotics industry through cutting-edge technology and innovation. As we embark on this exciting journey, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Navigation Engineer to join our team and help us shape the future of robotics.

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the (renewable) energy, process, and utility sectors by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance to perform jobs and deliver high-quality, consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware.
