## Job description

Deine Mission & Herausforderungen Als Edge AI Engineer bringst du modernste Modelle als produktionsreife, on-device Intelligenz auf unsere Roboter. Du arbeitest hands-on an der Schnittstelle von Machine Learning, Embedded Systems und Robotik. Dein Fokus: Modelle schnell, schlank und zuverlässig auf der Hardware zum Laufen zu bringen, die wir ausliefern.

- Deployment am Edge: Du bringst Modelle vom Training bis in den Einsatz und nutzt dafür Quantization, Pruning, Distillation und jeden weiteren Hebel, um sie auf Embedded-Accelerator-Plattformen (z. B. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm IQ-Serie) schnell und ressourcenschonend zu machen.
- Verantwortung für die Toolchain: Du arbeitest entlang der gesamten Kette aus Model Export, Inference-Optimierungs-Frameworks (z. B. ONNX, TensorRT, AIMET) und den SDKs, die aus einem Modell ein funktionierendes Roboterverhalten machen.
- Optimierung bis auf die Hardware-Ebene: Du profilierst, analysierst und optimierst Modelle und Runtimes, damit sie die Latenz-, Energie- und Speicherbudgets jeder Zielhardware einhalten.
- Zusammenarbeit über Funktionen hinweg: Du arbeitest eng mit Research, Hardware, Software und Product zusammen, um On-Device-AI von der Forschung bis zum ausgelieferten Produkt zu bringen.
- Qualitätsstandards setzen: Du baust Benchmarking, On-Device-Evaluation und Performance-Regressionstests für alle Hardware-Targets auf und pflegst sie.
- Die schwierigen Probleme lösen: Du analysierst Accuracy-Einbußen nach der Quantization, jagst Latenzspitzen und löst Probleme, die erst auf dem echten Chip sichtbar werden.

Was du mitbringst

- Starkes akademisches Fundament: Ein Master- oder PhD-Abschluss in Informatik, Elektrotechnik, Embedded Systems oder einem verwandten Fachgebiet.
- Nachgewiesene Erfahrung: Mindestens 3 Jahre Erfahrung im Bereich ML oder Embedded-AI-Engineering, inklusive echtem Produktiv-Deployment auf Embedded-Acceleratoren, nicht nur aus Papers.
- Hardware-Know-how: Praktische Erfahrung mit Embedded-AI-Hardwareplattformen (z. B. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm IQ-Serie oder vergleichbar).
- Optimierungs-Expertise: Fundiertes Wissen in der Modelloptimierung von der Modellseite bis zur Hardware: Quantization, Pruning, Distillation und Architecture Search.
- Toolchain-Expertise: Sicherer Umgang mit gängigen Toolchains für Modelloptimierung und Deployment (z. B. ONNX, TensorRT, AIMET oder vergleichbare Hersteller-SDKs).
- Technische Tiefe: Starke Kenntnisse in Python und C++, Erfahrung mit PyTorch sowie Sicherheit im Umgang mit Embedded Linux und Low-Level-Profiling.
- Die richtige Denkweise: Die Überzeugung, dass der einzige echte Test der Ziel-Chip ist und nicht der Trainings-Cluster.
- Zusammenarbeit & Kommunikation: Du arbeitest selbstständig, triffst fundierte Entscheidungen auch bei Unsicherheit und kommunizierst auf Augenhöhe mit Researchern, Hardware-Engineers und Product. Fließendes Englisch ist Voraussetzung, Deutschkenntnisse sind ein starkes Plus (B2 bis 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
- **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
- **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.
