- Turin, Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy- Robotics | Autonomy | Critical InfrastructureSnapshotJoin a high-caliber, early-stage robotics startup building autonomous systems for real-world security and critical infrastructure environments.This is not simulation work.This is field deployment, safety constraints, and autonomy in the wild.You'll own the navigation and autonomy stack end-to-end — from sensor integration to control — in a high-trust, high-ownership environment.What You'll DoOwn navigation stack:Sensor integrationGlobal planning & local controlBuild end-to-end systems:Drivers calibration fusion navigation controlEnsure performance, safety, and reliability in real environmentsDeploy and iterate on robots in the field (not just simulation)Make architecture decisions and operate with high autonomyWhat We're Looking For- Master's + 3+ years experience OR PhD (Robotics / Controls / Perception)Proven experience building end-to-end robotics systemsDeep understanding of:SLAMPlanning & controlSystems integrationHands-on field deployment experience (non-negotiable)Strong ownership mindset + clear communicationBonus:Nav2, GTSAM, CeresMulti-sensor fusion (LiDAR / vSLAM)Embedded systems / hardware integrationAI/ML in robotics (perception, embodied AI)CHF 100,000 – CHF 120,000 baseMeaningful equity (early-stage upside)Work with a highly technical, low-ego teamAccess to best-in-class hardware & toolingOpen to international candidatesWork permit & relocation support availableEnglish is sufficient (no German required)Who Should NOT ApplyOnly simulation or lab experienceLimited ownership / module-only experiencePreference for remote workIdeal Candidate ProfileHas shipped navigation/localization systems in real environmentsThinks in systems, safety, and reliability — not just algorithmsComfortable working close to hardware and field constraintsWhy This RoleBuild real-world robotics systems (not lab prototypes)Own a critical part of the autonomy stack (SLAM planning control)Work with a top-tier team (ex-Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, TUM, Helsing)Join at pre-seed stage maximum ownership + equity upsideContribute to systems impacting security, defense, and infrastructure resilienceIf you've built robots that actually work in the real world — and want to push autonomy beyond the lab into environments where reliability truly matters — this is where you do it.
