To strengthen our team at the location in Bremen or Wietmarschen-Lohne with flexible working time models and the option of home office we are looking for a

Robotics Software Engineer (all genders welcome) - Maritime Robotics – Manipulator Control & End- Effector Handling (AUV)

As a Robotics Software Engineer , you will be responsible for the control of manipulator arms and end-effector handling on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) used for close-range inspection of maritime infrastructure. You will develop robust, ROS2-based algorithms and work closely with interdisciplinary teams and research partners to drive forward innovative solutions in underwater robotics.

What you can expect

-
You develop manipulator control and end-effector handling for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that perform close-range inspections and non-destructive testing tasks.

-
You develop solutions for inspecting critical underwater infrastructure (e.g. pipelines, offshore facilities, energy and communication networks) and validate them for use under real ocean conditions.

-
You plan, support, and evaluate simulations and maritime field tests, analyzing relevant sensor and navigation data.

-
You work with modern software development environments and open-source frameworks (in particular ROS2) and relevant libraries to implement and evaluate your algorithms.

-
You collaborate closely with other teams within the Subsea group — such as high-level mission planning, manipulator control, and vehicle control — as well as with external partners like universities and research institutions, actively contributing to joint research and development projects.

What you bring

To become part of the Rosenxt family , you stand out through an independent, structured and team ‑ oriented way of working as well as strong communication and collaboration skills. You also bring:

-
You have a degree in a technical field such as robotics, computer science, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a comparable field, ideally with a focus on maritime robotics or AUV-based inspection.

-
You have several years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or maritime robotics.

-
You have solid expertise in manipulator control, strong programming skills in C++, and hands-on experience with ROS2-based systems and relevant manipulator control libraries (MoveIt).

-
You bring a strong sense of ownership and excellent communication skills within interdisciplinary teams.

-
You have a strong affinity for research and collaboration with universities and research institutes.

Look forward to

-
Development and career opportunities in a global, innovative and long-term oriented group of companies with family character

-
Flexible working hours, working time accounts and Home Office possible

-
An open corporate culture, where we celebrate success with social events
