Do you like autonomous robotics? Do you want to automate more than just a car? Do you want to automate heavy Mining Equipment?
Are you up for the challenge of both software and hardware and deployed around the globe?
Vehicle Automation Engineer (m/f/d)
The progression of the Autonomous Operator System (AOS) is your mission. Tasks include the conception, integration, programming, testing and commissioning of autonomous underground vehicles. Based on existing solutions and new technology, a flexible automation platform must be continuously progressed to match project specific requirements. You will be working with a strong team of experienced, creative, and dynamic developers, mainly located in Velbert but also distributed in Germany, South Africa, and Chile.
Tasks:
- System design for autonomous vehicles and integration of already existing modules.
- Programming of new modules and validation in simulation and field tests
- Adaptation of different automation solutions, depending on customer application
- Development of interfaces and communication protocols between system modules
- Testing of the overall system functionality on proving grounds and mainly in underground mine field tests
- Close and virtual cooperation within the core team and with our international development partners
Skills:
- ROS 2 framework
- Python and C++ programming
- Software design and testing
- SLAM optimization
- Conceptual system development and its documentation
- Technical understanding of vehicle technology (e.g. electrics, sensors, hydraulics, drive systems)

- High quality awareness, independent working style and ability to work in a team in interdisciplinary work groups
- Fluent in English and German
Education & Experience:
- University degree in Computer Science or Engineering,
ideally with a focus on automation / robotics. - Robotics and automation project experience
- Prototype development and testing experience
- Underground mining experience is helpful
Other:
- National and international travel to customer projects may be required occasionally.
- Excitement to bring Robotics into real Mining environments building the Robotic Miner or Autonomous Operator System makes you part of the team
We offer:
- Creative freedom in your design and workflow allowing you to be most effective.
- Attractive working conditions with great flexibility in time allocation and working location as well as a truly agile team collaboration while offering attractive compensation and benefits. No corporate structures.
- Cutting edge projects automating some of the most expensive machines in the world, where you will be leading the transformation of mining towards a safer and more productive Robotic Mine.
