Systems SW Development Engineer

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 200+ people and work on cutting-edge robot technology. The Opportunity You'll join our Software Systems team, where we design and develop the core infrastructure powering ANYbotics' autonomous robots. In this role, you will develop and maintain system-level software components for embedded control, communication, and integration across our robotic platforms. Your work ensures smooth interoperability among distributed systems, high reliability, and efficiency of our robotic stack. You will have the chance to engage with cross-functional teams spanning robotics hardware, control, and perception to build robust and scalable software solutions that bring true autonomy to industrial environments. If you enjoy tackling complex system challenges, ensuring robustness at every layer of the stack, and making real-world impact through precise engineering, this role is for you. Market & Technology ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the (renewable) energy, process, and utility sectors by introducing robotics to a range of novel applications that were previously beyond reach. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, to perform jobs and deliver high-quality, consistent inspection results. We design the hardware and software that drives our platforms' autonomy—from embedded systems and electronics to firmware and cloud connectivity. Our work integrates everything from low-level real-time control to high-level orchestration software, ensuring reliability across all mission-critical operations. About Us ANYbotics is a leading robotics company specializing in advanced autonomous systems. With a recently closed Series B financing round, we are poised for rapid growth and global expansion. Our mission is to revolutionize the robotics industry through innovation, engineering excellence, and intelligent automation.
