They perceive, reason, plan over long horizons, and act autonomously in the physical world. We're looking for an engineer who builds the systems that make that possible: the agent harnesses, planning loops, and orchestration layers that turn a language model into a reliable embodied agent. - Agent architecture & harness design: Design and build the core agent harness for our humanoid platform: the control loop, tool/skill interfaces, state and memory management, retries, and guardrails that keep long-running autonomous behavior reliable. - Long-horizon planning & orchestration: Build systems that decompose high-level human intent into multi-step plans, orchestrate skills and sub-agents, track execution state, recover from errors, and escalate to human oversight when risk is high. - Conversational AI for embodied interaction: Design the real-time voice stack: STT → LLM → TTS pipeline with robust turn-taking, barge-in handling, and addressee detection so the robot knows when it's being spoken to and responds naturally under real-world latency constraints. - Backend & platform engineering: Build the production backend behind the agent: well-designed APIs and interfaces, distributed services connecting sub-agents to the main conversational agent, and edge-to-cloud deployment across the NEURA ecosystem. - Evaluation & industrialization: Stand up evaluation harnesses and observability that measure whether agents actually complete tasks correctly, and drive promising prototypes through to industrialized, deployed systems. - Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with hardware/software teams and external partners to take agentic capabilities from concept to reliable end-to-end product. ## What we can look forward to - A strong Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent depth shown through shipped work. - Demonstrated experience building production agent systems with measurable impact: agents that plan, use tools, maintain state, and run reliably over long horizons, rather than single-turn prompt work. - Deep, hands-on experience with agent frameworks and orchestration such as LangGraph, AgentCore, MCP, or custom orchestrators, and a clear sense of when to use an agent versus a deterministic workflow. - Professional backend engineering experience: production services, API and interface design, distributed and microservice architectures, clean code, testing, and DevOps discipline. - Cloud and edge-to-cloud experience, including containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and deploying and serving models and services in production. - Strong grounding in LLMs, VLMs, and NLP. - Excellent Python. - Excellent English. German is a plus. ## About Neura Robotics ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: NEURA Robotics develops cognitive robots that see, hear, feel, and learn, designed to work alongside humans in industrial, service, and household settings. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series C — raised up to $1.4 billion as of 2025/2026) - **Headquarters**: Metzingen, Germany (with offices in Bielefeld and Munich, and US locations in preparation) - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: David Reger ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Cognitive Robotics, Humanoid Robotics, Industrial Automation, AI - **Target customers**: B2B (industrial clients, integrators, strategic partners); also B2C via household robots like MiPA - **Mission or purpose statement**: "We serve humanity by creating robots that give people back their time for what matters most.
