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.

01The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Autonomy team who really enjoys creating quality, maintainable code, simplifying complex systems through design improvements, and prioritizing sound interfaces and architecture. We are not specifically looking for roboticists, but welcome any person with extensive production software experience who wants to work in a real-world robotics deployment. At our company, we specialise in developing tailored software solutions that enable our robots to execute inspection and maintenance tasks with precision and consistency.

This is a senior, hands-on software engineering role at the heart of cutting‑edge R&D, mission frameworks, autonomous behaviors, obstacle avoidance, path planning and the application of modern AI techniques. You’ll work across the full lifecycle, from early development prototyping through to mission‑critical, production deployments.

02The Market & Our Technology

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high-quality and consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customised hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware.

Your Contributions

Contribute to the technical strategy and design for the autonomy software architecture, ensuring robots act transparently and reliably in complex environments

Lead and develop core robotics algorithms to expand our autonomous operational envelope in challenging conditions

Write, deploy, and maintain highly efficient C++ and Python software for the autonomy stack

Serve as a mentor and collaborator, participating in architecture group activities and guiding junior engineers on algorithm design and best practices

Evaluate cutting-edge algorithms and solutions to continuously push the boundaries of autonomous performance and system adaptability

Your Profile

University degree in engineering or science with a focus on computer science, electrical engineering or robotics

Proven track record of shipping software to the field and maintaining those solutions over time

Proven experience leading software architecture design and software engineering best practices

Strong contributor to technical strategy and mentoring of junior engineers

Strong understanding of autonomous systems, including: motion planning, state estimation, behaviour‑based control, path planning, mission planning & execution

Strong knowledge of Linux systems, middleware frameworks and interfacing complex modules up and down the software stack

Pragmatic and solution-oriented mindset, working towards a goal and achieving outcomes

Excellent communication skills in English

Bonus Points

Hands-on experience with Reinforcement Learning (RL) and deployment of cutting-edge AI/ML models

Development of scalable and modular robot architectures with task execution frameworks such as Behavior Trees

Experience with ROS/ROS2

Experience using robotic simulation tools such as Gazebo or Isaac Sim

Interest in agentic engineering toolchains

Successfully managed strategic partnerships with external engineering companies

We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.
