Software Developer for Autonomous Vehicles (AGV/AMR)

Quick Facts

• Role: Software Developer for Autonomous Vehicles (AGV/AMR)

• Work style: Hybrid

• Focus: Control software for autonomous transport vehicles used in data-center logistics

Description

You will develop and implement control software for autonomous transport vehicles (AGV/AMR) with a focus on data-center logistics. The role includes designing and evolving vehicle architecture with software, hardware, and systems teams and implementing regulation and control algorithms for drives, positioning, and motion. You will also contribute across the product lifecycle, including tests, simulations, commissioning, and validation of prototypes and new functions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement control software for AGV/AMR for data-center logistics

• Contribute to vehicle architecture design and evolution with cross-functional teams

• Develop and implement regulation and control algorithms for drive systems and positioning/motion control

• Integrate new software technologies and frameworks into existing vehicle platforms

• Work across the full product lifecycle, from concept development to series readiness

• Plan and execute tests, simulations, commissioning, and validation of prototypes and new functions (including pre-FAT and FAT support)

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to define and implement new functions

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a comparable field

• Several years of industrial software development experience (ideally 5+ years)

• Strong programming skills in CODESYS and/or Siemens TIA Portal

• Knowledge of Linux-based systems and modern software/container technologies (e.g., Docker) is beneficial

• Good knowledge of control engineering, drive engineering, and motion models

• Basic understanding of electrical circuits and mechanical systems (desired)

• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and deployment strategies

• Willingness for international travel for on-site installation and commissioning

• Very good English skills (spoken and written)
