The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Autonomy team who really enjoys creating quality, maintainable code, simplifying complex systems through design improvements, and prioritizing sound interfaces and architecture. We are not specifically looking for roboticists, but welcome any person with extensive production software experience who wants to work in a real-world robotics deployment. At our company, we specialise in developing tailored software solutions that enable our robots to execute inspection and maintenance tasks with precision and consistency.

This is a senior, hands-on software engineering role at the heart of cutting‑edge R&D, mission frameworks, autonomous behaviors, obstacle avoidance, path planning and the application of modern AI techniques. You’ll work across the full lifecycle — from early development prototyping through to mission‑critical, production deployments.

The Market & Our Technology

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high-quality and consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customised hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware.
