Staff Software Engineer, Robot Platform

What You Will Do

• The robot platform, end-to-end: architect the on-robot software platform (HAL, control integration, process orchestration) 
• Motion& navigation: Whole-body motion and indoor mobility 
• Safety & dependability: Own the functional-safety and reliability posture
• OTA & fleet operations: The OTA and fleet-management backbone — staged rollouts, rollback, remote provisioning, health monitoring across a growing fleet
• Observability: Instrument the stack (logging, metrics, tracing, black-box recording) across the full fleet
• Hardware–software integration: Bring-up, calibration and integration of new sensors, actuators and components

What You Will Bring

• Passion to build and deploy capable and reliable humanoid robots.
• Affinity and love for the complex — we’re a deep-tech company going for home care
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with robotic hardware
• Solid understanding andextensive hands-on experience with:
  • ROS2 
  • Container-based deployment on arm64 
  • Linux
  • Jetson platforms

   

• git and CI workflows for robotics/embedded
• Solid understanding and hands-on experience with:
  • robot kinematics and dynamics 
  • control & actuation 
  • navigation & mobility
• High level of ownership, ability to work at varying abstraction levels, strong interdisciplinary communication, pragmatic problem solving 
• Existing authorization to work in Germany
• You are no a**hole

Nice-to-have  

• Hands-on experience with bi-manual mobile-manipulator platforms.
• Teleoperation systems— WebRTC, Unity, real-time robot control links.
• Fleet / device management and OTA at scale, deploying robots in the field 
• Firmware and low-level drivers; end-effector / gripper integration.
• Awareness ofrobot safety standards.

Building physical AI for real homes is an unsolved challenge, and no single person has all the answers. If you have a strong engineering foundation and the drive to figure it out, we encourage you to apply even if you don't tick every single box. 

What To Expect

• Compensation so you don’t have to worry: competitive base salary, calibrated to your experience
• Entrepreneurial ESOP Package: significant equity vesting over 4 years, your skin in the game to build serious wealth as we 10x
• Impact & Autonomy: Flat structure, greenfield AI architecture, no legacy systems, freedom to design the stack
• Work that matters: Help millionslive with dignity, powered by tech you helped build and deploy
• A front-row seat at one of Europe's most ambitious robotics scale-ups

About us

Devanthro is building physical AI for every home. We are tackling the ultimate frontier of robotics: bringing robots to real homes, living with real people and doing real work. Our path into the world starts with care for the elderly in their own home - a massive, urgent societal need. Since making history in 2024 with the first humanoid deployed in a private residence, our momentum has exploded. Hundreds of seniors across Germany and Switzerland tested our robots and love them. Now, backed by top-tier investors, our fast-growing team of technologists, operators, company builders and people who care is taking our physical AI from first successful homes to scaled deployments.

If you want to build autonomous robots that escape the lab and ship into unstructured and messy homes, this role is for you.

We are building robots with heart. Come join us.
