fruitcore robotics develops a Physical AI Platform for industrial automation, combining robotics hardware, AI-driven intelligent control, and software into an integrated system. The company is advancing industrial robotics through its PLEXA One humanoid robot platform and related solutions.
As a Robotics Application Engineer, you will implement industrial humanoid robots in real-world applications and contribute to their ongoing development. Working with the PLEXA One robot and fruitcore's proprietary development and control software, you will develop solutions for the interaction of robot arms, cameras, and AI systems, as well as mobile platforms where applicable.
Key responsibilities include:
- Analyzing project requirements, developing tailored solutions, and implementing them directly on the robot
- Programming project-specific features and optimizing motion sequences and system component interactions
- Integrating fruitcore's AI into concrete applications to advance perception and control of humanoid robots
- Integrating robotics, cameras, and mobile platforms into functioning end-to-end systems
- Performing calibrations, investigating deviations, and improving precision, repeatability, and robustness
- Testing solutions under realistic conditions, analyzing failures, and driving improvements to both software and hardware
You will take ownership of individual projects and technical tasks from conception through development, testing, and industrial deployment. The role emphasizes independent work, systematic problem-solving, and active project advancement within a collaborative team environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Technical background in robotics, computer science, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or automation technology (via degree, technician certification, or equivalent practical experience)
- Programming skills and hands-on experience developing and testing software on real hardware
- Independent, structured work style with systematic technical problem-solving ability
- Strong teamwork and communication skills; ability to convey technical requirements, solutions, and findings clearly
- Fluent German (business proficiency) and fluent English (written and spoken)
- Practical experience in one or more of the following areas (not all required):
- Robotics and automation: programming, integration, or commissioning of robots and mechatronic systems
- Mobile robotics: work with AGVs or AMRs (navigation, positioning, application integration)
- Computer vision: use of cameras, image processing, or object recognition in technical applications
- Calibration and precision: tuning robot and camera systems, coordinate system work, positioning accuracy improvement
- AI in applications: integration and testing of AI-based functions in robotics or automation projects
