03PerceptionRobotics EngineerLandshut, Germany

About the role

At Athenyx Robotics, we are building the intelligence stack for industrial humanoid robotics. We move robots beyond rigid automation toward adaptive, learning-based systems that hold up in real industrial environments — combining robot learning, perception and simulation with direct access to industrial use cases and data. This role owns how our humanoids see the world: geometry, semantics, and enough context to act under clutter, occlusion and changing lighting. The work • —Develop perception pipelines including detection, tracking and 6D pose estimation for real-world robotic applications. • —Work with modern approaches such as foundation models (VLM / VLA) to enable scene understanding and reasoning. • —Improve robustness and generalization of perception systems in dynamic industrial environments. • —Integrate perception into end-to-end robotic systems combining sensing, reasoning and action. • —Work with real and synthetic data to improve model performance and scalability. • —Support deployment, evaluation and iteration on real robotic systems. About you • —Degree (Bachelor, Master or PhD) in robotics, computer vision or a related field with strong foundations in perception or machine learning. • —Strong programming skills in Python and experience with modern ML workflows such as training and evaluating vision models. • —Experience in areas such as 3D vision, pose estimation, multi-view systems or sensor fusion. • —Interest in real-world robotic systems and motivation to move beyond isolated models toward deployed systems. • —Willingness to work across the stack and contribute wherever needed in a small, fast-moving team. • —Experience with foundation models or multimodal learning. • —Familiarity with simulation and synthetic data pipelines. • —Exposure to robotic manipulation or system integration. • —Work on real robotic systems in industrial environments with direct impact on deployment practices. • —Close collaboration with industry partners and access to real-world use cases, data and systems. • —High ownership and responsibility from day one in a small, highly capable, execution-focused team. • —Flexible working hours and open, collaborative culture with strong focus on building and learning. • —Opportunity to help shape a new generation of AI-driven robotics systems from the ground up.
