# Edge AI Engineer (human) at Neura Robotics

- **Company:** [Neura Robotics](https://feeny.ai/companies/neura-robotics)
- **Location:** Metzingen, Germany / Riederich, Germany
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-10-05
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-13

## Job description

## Your mission & challenges

As Edge AI Engineer, you turn cutting-edge models into production-grade, on-device intelligence for our robots. You work hands-on at the intersection of machine learning, embedded systems, and robotics. Your focus is making models fast, lean, and reliable on the hardware we ship.

- Deploy at the edge: Take models from trained to deployed using quantization, pruning, distillation, and every trick it takes to make them fast and lean on embedded accelerator platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm IQ-series).
- Own the toolchain: Work across model export and inference optimization frameworks (e.g. ONNX, TensorRT, AIMET) and the SDKs that turn a model into a working robot behavior.
- Optimize to the metal: Profile, analyze, and tune models and runtimes to meet the latency, power, and memory budgets of each hardware target.
- Partner across functions: Work closely with Research, Hardware, Software, and Product to bring on-device AI from research to shipped product.
- Set the bar for quality: Build and maintain benchmarking, on-device evaluation, and performance regression testing across every hardware target we ship.
- Solve the hard problems: Debug an accuracy drop after quantization, chase down a latency spike, and tackle the problems that only show up on the real chip.

## What we can look forward to

- Strong academic foundation: A Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
- Proven experience: 3+ years in ML or embedded AI engineering, with real production deployment on embedded accelerators, not just papers.
- Hardware fluency: Hands-on experience with embedded AI hardware platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm IQ-series, or comparable).
- Optimization expertise: Solid knowledge of model optimization from the model side to the metal: quantization, pruning, distillation, and architecture search.
- Toolchain expertise: Fluency with common model optimization and deployment toolchains (e.g. ONNX, TensorRT, AIMET, or equivalent vendor SDKs).
- Technical depth: Strong Python and C++, PyTorch experience, and comfort with embedded Linux and low-level profiling.
- The right mindset: A conviction that the only real test is the target chip, not the training cluster.
- Collaboration & communication: The ability to work independently, make sound calls under uncertainty, and speak fluently to researchers, hardware engineers, and product alike. Professional English required; German is a strong plus (B2 to C1).

## 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

## 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
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lingotto Investment Management, BlueCrest Capital Management, InterAlpen Partners, Vsquared Ventures, HV Capital, Delta Electronics, C4 Ventures, Primepulse, L-Bank, Volvo Cars Tech Fund. Strategic partners include Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler, NVIDIA, and AWS.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 1,400 employees from more than 45 countries (up from 300+ in 2024). Four of the world's ten largest robotics companies use NEURA's technology under their own brand. Deployed across Europe, US, China, and Japan. Europe's first production-ready humanoid robot (4NE1) launched.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full vertical integration**: Develops all software, hardware, and platform technologies in-house, giving full control over performance, safety, and reliability.
- **Cognitive robotics pioneer**: Coined the term "cognitive robotics" — robots that perceive, learn, and adapt in real-time, unlike traditional industrial robots.
- **Neuraverse platform**: World's first platform connecting cognitive robots into a shared intelligence network, creating a data moat as every deployment improves all robots.
- **White-label partnerships**: Four of the top 10 global robotics companies OEM NEURA's technology, creating deep industry lock-in.
- **Diverse product range**: From collaborative robot arms (MAiRA, LARA) to humanoids (4NE1, MiPA) and autonomous vehicles (MAV), covering industrial, service, and household use cases.

## Strategic Focus
