Senior Robotics Automation Engineer (m/f/d)

What We’re Building Towards

At Omegga, we're on a mission to reinvent how AI and spectroscopy can drive positive change for animals, people and the planet. We started with a clear objective: eliminate chick culling on a global scale through early, non-invasive detection. This outdated practice still impacts billions of lives, and we're here to change that. We're not building for the niche, we're building for the global standard.

Today, our systems are already in use, and the focus is on scaling performance, robustness, and deployment across an international customer base. For us, scaling means more than growth. It means changing an industry for the better.

We are looking for people who take ownership, think in systems, and want to help turn a working product into the industry benchmark. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for a robotics engineer whose strength sits on the software side but who understands the full system. You're comfortable working across real-time control, cloud infrastructure, and hardware interfaces, and you take ownership of everything from bringing a robot into production to keeping it running reliably at customer sites. You thrive on solving problems across the full stack and take pride in systems that just work.

What You’ll Build

• Own and evolve our robot control system, built on Motorcortex, ensuring reliable and precise operation across customer deployments

• Develop and maintain cloud-based remote control and monitoring capabilities using AWS Greengrass, including automated alerting and diagnostics

• Remotely operate and oversee robot systems at customer sites, taking responsibility for uptime and performance

• Troubleshoot issues across the full stack, from control software to hardware interfaces, in close collaboration with the hardware team

• Develop and execute structured testing and quality assurance workflows for robot control and automation systems, covering integration testing, regression testing, commissioning checks, and release validation

• Build and maintain hardware-in-the-loop test setups to validate control logic, sensor feedback, actuator behavior, fault cases, and recovery scenarios before deployment to customer systems

• Advance calibration routines and sensor selection for in-hatchery egg detection

• Work with EtherCAT-based communication systems to ensure robust real-time control of actuators and sensors

• Interface with operational data to continuously improve system performance and inform product development

What You Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field

• 3-5 years of experience in robot control systems, with a strong software focus

• Proven track record of bringing robotic systems into production and maintaining them in live environments

• Experience with real-time control frameworks, ideally Motorcortex or comparable platforms

• Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols, especially EtherCAT

• Experience with cloud and edge computing for robotics or IoT (AWS Greengrass or similar)

• Comfortable working at the interface between software and hardware with main focus on software

• Strong problem-solving skills with a structured approach to troubleshooting complex systems

What You’ll Get

Mission & Technical Challenge: At Omegga, you work on problems that are both technically demanding and globally relevant. We build deep-tech solutions with real-world impact, pushing the boundaries of what's currently possible.

Relocation Support: Moving to Munich? We help you find an apartment in the Werksviertel within walking distance of the office. We connect you with the right contacts and take the stress out of apartment hunting.

Work Environment: Located in Munich's Werksviertel, we combine a focused, high-performance culture with flexibility. Up to 50% remote work, depending on role and execution needs.

Ownership: VSOPs (Virtual Stock Options) so you share in the value you help create.

Time Off: 28 vacation days per year, plus December 24th and 31st off.

Benefits & Growth

• Monthly meal budget for whatever keeps you going, from quick lunches to proper team dinners

• Monthly perks budget to spend where it actually matters to you — fitness, mobility, or the occasional "I earned this" purchase

• Annual learning budget to invest in your growth, from conferences to deep dives into new domains

• Free drinks, coffee, and snacks in the office to keep you focused throughout the day
