About the role

<h4>About your role :</h4>

As a Robotics Motion Planning & Control Engineer (m/f/d) at Agile Robots, you will become part of a highly skilled and international team developing the core robotics algorithms powering AgileCore. Our team designs, implements, and maintains a broad portfolio of robotics algorithms that enable customers to build, deploy, and operate sophisticated automation solutions.

Your primary focus will be the complete motion stack—from planning robot motions in complex environments to executing them reliably on real hardware. You will work on kinematics, collision avoidance, trajectory planning, visualization, robot control, and bridging simulation and real-world execution.

Our team works in short, iterative development cycles with frequent releases, leveraging modern AI-assisted engineering practices to rapidly transform ideas into production-ready robotics software while maintaining high software quality.
