Robot Learning Engineer
Clera
München, Bayern 80331, Germany
Vollzeit
Reference: 420287265
About the Role
This is an entry-level research and engineering position at a small, ambitious industrial robotics startup in Munich. You'll apply state-of-the-art machine learning - spanning perception, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning - directly to a real robotic work cell built to automate some of the most demanding manual tasks in industry: surface finishing, welding, and coating. Expect tight research-to-hardware feedback loops and the satisfaction of seeing your models run on physical factory equipment.
What You'll Do
Required
Nice to Have
This role is fully on-site in Munich, Germany. Candidates must already be eligible to work in Germany; visa sponsorship is not available. Candidates willing to relocate to Munich are welcome to apply.

Expect tight research-to-hardware feedback loops and the satisfaction of seeing your models run on physical factory equipment.
What You'll Do
- Research, evaluate, and prototype ML models for robot perception and task understanding
- Apply computer vision and deep learning to multi-modal sensor data (RGB cameras, depth sensors, force/torque)
- Design and run experiments with reinforcement learning and imitation learning for robot control
- Integrate trained AI models into a ROS 2-based robotics stack
- Iterate rapidly on experiments and maintain rigorous evaluation practices
- Bridge the gap between research prototypes and real-world factory deployment
Required
- BSc or MSc in Robotics, Computer Science, AI, or a closely related field
- Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Practical exposure to computer vision and/or robot learning (thesis, internship, open-source, or research project)
- Genuine interest in physical systems and real-world robotics - not purely software or NLP backgrounds
- 0-3 years of professional or research experience
- Eligible to work in Germany and able to work on-site in Munich (no visa sponsorship available)
Nice to Have
- Experience with robot simulation environments: Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or PyBullet
- Sim-to-real transfer techniques
- 3D perception: point clouds, depth estimation, or 3D scene understanding
- Familiarity with ROS 2
- Research publications or competition results in robotics / ML
- Equity participation - meaningful stake in an early-stage company
- Cash compensation details to be discussed directly during the interview process
- Small team environment with high ownership and direct impact
