## Job description

Bei NEURA Robotics führen kognitive Roboter nicht einfach Befehle aus. Sie nehmen ihre Umgebung wahr, ziehen Schlüsse daraus, planen über lange Zeithorizonte und handeln autonom in der physischen Welt. Unsere Robotic Foundation Models übernehmen die physische Ausführung. Darüber sitzt der Agent: die Instanz, die erarbeitet, was eine Aufgabe tatsächlich erfordert, sie in Schritte zerlegt, die der Roboter ausführen kann, und erkennt, wann die Realität nicht mehr zum Plan passt. Für den Aufbau dieser Agents auf unserer Humanoid-Plattform suchen wir dich.

## DEINE MISSION & HERAUSFORDERUNGEN

- Embodied Agent Harness: Du entwickelst den Agent, der auf unserer Humanoid-Plattform läuft — den Loop von Sensorinput über Reasoning bis zur Aktion, seine Interfaces zu Kameras, Tiefendaten und Propriozeption des Roboters sowie das State Management, das eine Aufgabe über Minuten statt Sekunden hinweg kohärent hält.
- Task Decomposition & Long-Horizon Planning: Du übersetzt übergeordnete menschliche Intention in geordnete, ausführbare Schritte — jeweils mit den nötigen Preconditions, räumlichen Referenzen und Success Criteria — und sequenzierst sie so, dass der Roboter eine Aufgabe bewältigt, die er in dieser exakten Form noch nie gesehen hat.
- Visual Reasoning & World State: Du nutzt VLMs, um zu interpretieren, was der Roboter sieht, verankerst Sprache in der Szene (Grounding) und pflegst eine Arbeitsrepräsentation von Objekten, Affordances und Task History, über die der Planner schlussfolgern kann.
- Closed-Loop Execution & Recovery: Du verifizierst jeden Schritt gegen die Beobachtung, statt Erfolg anzunehmen, erkennst Abweichungen vom Plan und planst neu, wiederholst oder eskalierst an einen Menschen, wenn das Risiko zu hoch ist.
- Evaluation auf dem Roboter: Du misst Task Success in der Simulation und auf echter Hardware, baust Failure Taxonomies aus realen Runs auf und entscheidest darauf basierend, ob ein Fix in den Planner, das Interface oder den ausgegebenen Schritt gehört.
- Cross-funktionale Zusammenarbeit: Du arbeitest eng mit unseren Teams für Foundation Models, Perception, Manipulation und Hardware zusammen, um den Reasoning Layer über den Modellen vom Konzept zu verlässlichem Verhalten auf einem ausgelieferten Roboter zu bringen.

## WAS DU MITBRINGST

- Einen sehr guten Master oder eine Promotion in Informatik, Robotik oder einem verwandten Feld — oder vergleichbare Tiefe, nachgewiesen durch ausgelieferte Arbeit.
- Nachweisliche Erfahrung im Aufbau von Agent-Systemen auf Basis von LLMs und VLMs, die Aufgaben zerlegen, planen, Tools nutzen und State über lange Horizonte halten — nicht nur Single-Turn-Prompting.
- Mehrere Jahre Hands-on-Erfahrung mit physischen Robotern, nicht nur in der Simulation: eigenen Code auf eine echte Plattform bringen, ihn dort betreiben und ein System debuggen, das sich anders verhielt, sobald es einen Körper hatte.
- Praktische Erfahrung mit VLMs als Arbeitswerkzeug: Grounding von Sprache in Bildern, räumliches und physikalisches Reasoning, strukturierte Outputs, auf die du handeln kannst, und ein realistisches Gefühl dafür, wo sie scheitern.
- Vertrautheit mit hierarchischer Autonomie, bei der ein Reasoning-Modell plant und gelernte oder klassische Policies ausführen: Subgoal-Interfaces, Progress Verification, Replanning.
- Erfahrung mit Robotics Middleware und Onboard Deployment: ROS 2, Inferenz auf Embedded GPUs und Arbeiten innerhalb eines realen Latency Budgets.
- Solides Software Engineering: sauberer Code, Testing und Services, auf denen andere Teams aufbauen können. Cloud, Containerization und CI/CD sind ein Plus.
- Sehr gutes Englisch. Deutsch ist ein 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. Our mission is to expand human potential through cognitive robotics that work safely alongside us."

## Products & Services
- **4NE1**: Production-ready humanoid robot designed for industrial workflows and everyday assistance, powered by proprietary AI (AURA). Built for mass production.
- **MAiRA (Multi-sensing Intelligent Robotic Assistant)**: The world's first cognitive robot arm — a collaborative robot that senses, responds, and adapts.
- **LARA (Lightweight Agile Robotic Assistant)**: Collaborative industrial robot for agile, lightweight automation tasks.
- **MiPA (My Intelligent Personal Assistant)**: Humanoid service and household robot for home assistance.
- **MAV (Multisensing Autonomous Vehicle)**: Mobile transport robot for logistics and material handling.
- **NEURA OmniSensor**: Proprietary sensor technology enabling robots to perceive their environment.
- **Neuraverse**: A global platform connecting robots, developers, and partners into a shared intelligence network where every deployment makes each robot smarter. Also serves as a marketplace for robotics applications.
- **NEURA Gyms**: Real-world training facilities where robots learn complex tasks in controlled environments to generate high-quality data for AI model validation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total investment >€100 million in 2023; Series C up to $1.4 billion (2025/2026); 2024 revenue in mid-double-digit million euros; 2025 target: triple-digit million euros
