Job Offers / Master-Thesis / Working Students

In order to enhance our growing international team in Haid (Linz, Upper Austria), we are hiring motivated people from all over Europe. We also encourage unsolicited applications, somehow related to our job offers. Offered positions are flexible in terms of contracts (part-time, full time, partially tele-work) to allow you to optimally combine your professional with your private (family) life. We usually offer permanent positions. The company is bilingual, the primary languages are English or German.

Depending on your individual profile and expertise and influenced simultaneously or previously employed team members, the work content and the profile of the future employment can alternate to some extend between more expertise in software engineering versus more expertise in mathematics, robotics etc. In general a good C++ programming experience is important.

Innovation and Application Engineer: Robot Vision & 3D Vision & Planning (m/f/d)

To augment our growing R&D ambitions, we are recruiting junior and senior engineers, computer scientist, software-engineers, (m/f) with a generalistic working approach. Your task will be to (1) set up and optimize automation systems beyond state-of-the art, (2) derive technical innovations from own experience and discussion with customer´s experts and (3) implement those innovations in SW. The position is permanent.

Your "usual working day":

First of all, there will be no "usual working day", but rather a varied working year. So maybe it is a best idea what happens in year (around 225 working days / year).

40 to 100 days per year (depending on your preference and also occasion) you will be at a laboratory or factory site of a customer or development partner working with the phyisical robots, sensors etc. (more information below). Those trips will bring you to Germany/Austria, Europ and world and usually last between 2 or 3 days to 2 or 3 weeks.
5-15 days you will enjoy additional leisure time, assuming during the trips your working time is often a bit longer than 8 hours per day, and these hours will be compensated as free time during the year,
the remaining (110 to 180) days, you will be developping software at the office, discuss your insights and lessons learned (from failure, from success) or recommendations from partners´ and customers´ experts with our R+D team "at home", carve and discribe out some innovations from small helpfull tools to algorithmic improvements, do preparation work for work at partners and customers site, and assist partners and customers that continue the work in the factory or labs while you are back home. If the softwarte you develop are rather core algorithms or application interfaces or extensions or cool small tools that safe time and make the daily work of you and customers/partners easier and more comfortable depends on your experience and interest in differnt kind of software.
0 -1 days you will do hardware, since we are a software company. It is very unusual that we do any hardware.

Your task:

Responsibilities, tasks and job description will be elaborated cooperatively to match your prior experience and your interests with company interest. Responsibilities will include the following topics in the field of reactive robots, robot vision, machine learning and automatic planning:
