Working at Freudenberg: We will wow your world!

Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement robotic applications for humanoid robots in industrial environments such as handling and assembly. Program interaction and motion sequences using established robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS 2, MoveIt).
• Design and implement motion control algorithms including trajectory planning, force/impedance control, and error handling to ensure smooth and reliable robot operation.
• Collaborate with data and AI experts to build feedback loops for continuous algorithm refinement and performance optimization. Integrate AI-driven modules (e.g., perception, policy learning, motion optimization) into control architectures to enhance robotic autonomy.
• Incorporate sensors and AI components (e.g., object recognition, voice control) into application workflows. Design intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMI) and user interaction concepts to enable seamless human-robot collaboration.
• Simulate and validate applications in virtual environments and deploy them on real robotic systems.
• Work closely with safety and hardware teams to optimize system performance and ensure operational safety.
• Prepare technical documentation and deliver training to users and technicians.

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or above in Computer Science, Robotics, Automation Engineering, or a related field. Minimum of 5 years of experience in industry or academia.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python; hands-on experience with ROS/ROS 2. Solid understanding of software architecture, API design, and robotics middleware.
• Practical experience in motion control, trajectory generation, and control loop integration. Familiarity with simulation tools and hardware-software integration.
• Experience in HMI development using Qt or web technologies.
• Knowledge of AI-based object recognition and speech processing.
• Experience with AI-based planning techniques such as reinforcement learning or imitation learning.
• Understanding of functional safety requirements in robotic systems.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
