About this role

## Robotics Engineer

We are looking for a Robotics Engineer to help us build the future of autonomy. You will work on the 'brain' of unmanned systems and turn complex scientific papers into real-world capabilities. From small reconnaissance drones to massive autonomous vehicles, you will see your code move physical hardware.

### What You'll Do

  • Building the Virtual World: Developing robust simulation environments (e.g., Godot, Gazebo) with advanced sensor simulation (Lidar, GPS, IMU, depth cameras)
  • Navigating the Real World: Implementing next-gen autonomous navigation techniques like SLAM, Visual/Lidar odometry, and route planning
  • Teaching Machines to Think: Developing autonomous tactical behavior using Behavior Trees and Deep Reinforcement Learning
  • Testing & Iterating: Deploying and testing your algorithms directly on our dedicated indoor and outdoor test robots

### What We're Looking For

  • Education: A completed higher professional or university degree (HBO/WO) in Robotics, Systems & Control, AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field
  • Core Expertise: Hands-on experience with autonomous navigation (localization, sensor fusion, image processing)
  • Familiarity with ROS 2 and simulation software (Godot, Gazebo)
  • Professional command of both Dutch and English

### Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Competitive market salary, a solid pension scheme, and an 8% holiday allowance
  • 31 days of annual leave
  • Access to Internal Academy and tailored training programs
  • Company laptop, phone, and a bicycle plan
  • Free fresh fruit, premium coffee, regular team social events, and an annual company weekend getaway
  • High-performing engineers with a healthy work-life balance; we actively discourage overtime
