## Job description

## Your mission & challenges

- Technical direction: You shape the technical direction of our classical perception stack. You define algorithms, architecture and best practices, and drive them into the product.
- Perception pipelines: You design and implement perception pipelines for camera, depth and LiDAR data, from raw sensor input to a usable world model.
- Geometric vision & point clouds: You develop geometric vision and point cloud processing algorithms, such as stereo matching, registration and model-based pose estimation.
- Calibration & fusion: You own sensor calibration, time synchronization and multi-sensor fusion.
- State estimation: You develop state estimation and tracking based on filtering and optimization methods.
- Real-time performance: You make sure pipelines run in real time on embedded hardware and stay robust under real-world conditions.
- Evaluation & benchmarks: You set up evaluation, benchmarks and ground truth, and drive measurable improvements in precision and robustness.
- Geometric foundation: You provide the geometric foundation (calibration, 3D data, poses) that the AI team builds on.
- Expert & mentor: You act as the go-to expert for classical perception and mentor your colleagues.

## What we can look forward to

- Education: A Master’s degree or PhD in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mathematics, physics or a related field.
- Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience building classical, model-based perception software for robots, machine vision or comparable real-time systems.
- 3D geometry: Deep knowledge of 3D geometry, camera models and calibration.
- Estimation & optimization: A strong background in estimation and optimization, e.g. Kalman filtering, RANSAC or nonlinear least squares.
- Sensor physics: A solid understanding of sensor physics and the error sources of cameras, depth sensors and LiDAR.
- Track record: Experience shaping technical concepts and taking them to production.
- Programming: Excellent modern C++ and good Python skills on Linux.
- Libraries & frameworks: Experience with libraries such as OpenCV, PCL or Eigen, and with ROS 2.
- Nice to have: Experience with GPU acceleration or embedded platforms.
- Languages: Professional English is required. German at B2 to C1 level 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. 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.
