As a (Junior) Software Engineer (C++/Python) at Wandelbots, you will be part of our Robotics Platform Team. This team connects robots with their surrounding environment: e.g. end-of-arm effectors, cameras, sensors, and industrial bus systems. You will also contribute to adding new robot models to our platform and build automated test setups that ensure long-term stability of our software.

From your first day, you will work closely with experienced engineers, benefit from onboarding tools that help you grow into your role, and gain exposure to a wide field of robotics technologies — from periphery devices and fieldbus connections to system-level integration.
We value pragmatic problem-solving: as simple as possible, as complex as necessary.

Your tasks

• You integrate and maintain periphery devices (grippers, cameras, sensors, force/torque tools)

• You enable using industrial fieldbus systems (e.g. PROFINET, OPCUA) through our platform

• You support the addition of new robot models and work on tooling to speed up that process

• You contribute to setting up and extending automated test setups (hardware-in-the-loop)

• You have a university degree in a MINT field

• You are proficient in C++ or Python (ideally both)

• You are familiar with Linux development, Git, and basic networking/TCP concepts

• You are curious and hands-on with hardware - not afraid of doing what it needs to add the hardware to our system

• You are fluent in English (written and spoken) - working language is English

• You are willing to work on-site in Dresden to interact with our physical hardware (Hybrid models possible)

You are awesome if

• You have experience with fieldbus protocols (PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, IO-Link)

• You bring knowledge of camera systems ( 2D/3D ) or basic 3D perception

• You know End-of-arm-tool vendors (e.g., Robotiq, OnRobot, Schunk) or force/torque sensors

• You are familiar with GitLab CI, Docker, or automated test frameworks (pytest/gtest)

• You’ve worked with robot brands such as ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, Yaskawa, UR, etc.

• Friends say: you are a team player, open, communicative, passionate, and ambitious

• Colleagues say: you love challenges, solve problems in a self-initiated and reliable way, and stay curious

EASY-TO-USE-ROBOTICS FOR EVERYONE

Imagine a world with more room to unleash our unique cognitive strengths at work. A world where all people – whether craftsmans, blue-collars worker or engineers – have access to automation technologies that perform inhuman, monotonous and high-precision tasks much more efficiently than we do.

At Wandelbots, we're fundamentally reshaping the way to work with robots. We eliminate the complexity and develop easy-to-use solutions to speed up automation and empower everyone to work with industrial robots and beyond.

Mission

2017 founded, Wandelbots employs more than 100 people from 14 countries today. From our headquarters in Dresden Germany, we are giving our heart and soul to follow our mission, to empower everybody to easily work with robots.

Our Culture

Wandelbots’ team culture is deeply driven by our purpose and values. We love autonomy, high fives, and every kind of cake. We celebrate team efforts and learning moments. We grow through feedback and honor kindness and empathy. We build waterslides and invent anti-racism campaigns. We are creative, innovative and blessed with a can-do attitude. We truly believe that robots love people, so we just do love them back.
