Ferro Robotics

Robotics Software Engineer, Motion Planning

Write the motion planner that lets a welder teach a new part to a robot cell in one afternoon.

  • Munich
  • On-site
  • Full-time, senior
  • Posted September 15, 2026

About the role

Our customers are factories with 20 to 200 people. They cannot hire a robotics engineer to program each new part. Ferro cells learn from a welder who guides the torch by hand, and the motion planner turns that demonstration into a safe, repeatable path. You will make it better.

What you will do

  • Improve path smoothing, collision checking and weld seam tracking in C++ on ROS 2.
  • Test on real cells in our Munich workshop every week, not only in simulation.
  • Work with firmware and mechanical engineers on sensor and actuator limits.

What you will bring

  • Four or more years of C++ in robotics, automotive or another real-time domain.
  • Strong maths for kinematics and optimisation.
  • Comfort in a workshop. Safety shoes are provided.

Pay and benefits

On-site in Munich-Freimann, five days a week, with flexible hours. 30 days of leave, a Deutschlandticket, and a company pension contribution of 5%.

Skills

  • C++
  • ROS 2
  • Motion planning
  • Linear algebra
