ML Engineer Robot Learning

[Batch Robotics](http://www.batch-robotics.com/) is revolutionizing how robots operate in factories — not through rigid programming or teaching by human demonstration, but with smart perception and AI intelligence. We are a team of 4 motivated people with +25 years of experience in industry and robotics. Our mission is to make robots smarter and more flexible, enabling batch-size-1 automation for surface treatment economically. Our technology helps factories in Europe to remain competitive with intelligent robotics. We are now looking for a **Senior Machine Learning Engineer** with technical excellence and entrepreneurial drive to join us in developing the next generation of AI-driven robotic systems! Tasks ----- * **End-to-End ML Systems:** Design, implement, and train state-of-the-art AI models for perception and control of robot arms. * **Data Pipelines & ML Ops:** Collect real-world data from factory deployments to optimize model training and update models in the field. * **Simulation & Synthetic Data:** Work and improve simulation-based tooling (e.g., NVIDIA Newton Physics Engine) for physical AI and scalable synthetic data generation. * **Model Development:** Build ML components across perception and policy pathways, including video models, multimodal encoders, world models, and diffusion/transformer architectures. * **Systems Integration:** Work with real-world, multimodal datasets (vision, force/torque, tactile) and ensure models operate reliably under real-time constraints on physical hardware. * **Evaluation & Iteration:** Test models in realistic environments, analyze failures, and refine for stability, latency, and robustness. Requirements ------------ * **Background**: Master's Degree and more than 3 years of professional experience or a (almost) finished PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field. * **Deep experience:** Hands-on work with reinforcement learning (RL) and imitation learning within physics simulations. * **Software Engineering:** Strong proficiency in Python and ideally Rust; ability to write clean, modular, and performance-optimized code for distributed workloads using AI agents. * **Real-World Mindset:** Proven track record of deploying models on physical robotic manipulators and handling noisy, temporal, or large-scale datasets.Soft Skills: Entrepreneurial drive, solution-oriented mindset, high agency and the ability to take direct responsibility in a fast-paced startup environment. Benefits -------- * **Impact:** The unique opportunity to rethink industrial automation for batch-size-1 with cutting-edge AI to maintain European manufacturing sovereignty. * **Growth:** Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts in a high-growth VC-funded startup. * **Ownership:** opportunity to actively shape the company's technical direction; potential shares in the company. * **Environment:** A modern, central workspace in Munich with a collaborative, international culture.
