Your mission
Build and own robotic systems that operate as coordinated, distributed agents in real\-world environments.
You will work on the core autonomy stack behind mission\-critical robotic systems, with a growing focus on multi\-agent coordination—systems that share information, make decisions under uncertainty, and operate reliably under real constraints (limited compute, imperfect sensing, and constrained communication).
Your work directly impacts system reliability, scalability, and collective behavior in the field.
You will:
- Design and implement performance\-critical, real\-time robotics software
- Develop multi\-agent capabilities (e.g., state sharing, task allocation, decentralized decision\-making)
- Work with multi\-modal sensor data (timing, synchronization, calibration, coordinate frames)
- Build and refine algorithms in estimation, perception, planning, or control
- Ensure robustness, determinism, and system stability across distributed systems
- Debug and validate behavior on real hardware, including field testing
- Collaborate closely with robotics, embedded, and domain experts
- Strong proficiency in modern C\+\+ (17/20\), building performance\-critical systems
- Solid understanding of concurrency, real\-time systems, or distributed systems
- Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods
- Experience developing software for real robots, embedded systems, or HIL setups
- Comfortable working with raw sensor data (synchronization, noise, calibration, transforms)
- Strong debugging skills across system layers (latency, race conditions, system failures)
- Ability to design clean, modular, and reliable systems
- Ownership mindset: able to take components from concept to production
Nice to have
- Experience with multi\-agent systems, swarming, or distributed robotics
- Background in coordination algorithms (e.g., consensus, task allocation)
- Python for prototyping or tooling
- Experience with real\-time systems or middleware (e.g., ROS 2\)
- Background in estimation, filtering, or optimization
- Experience with embedded platforms, GPUs, or simulation tools
- Exposure to autopilot systems such as ArduPilot or PX4
What else
- Outside\-the\-box creativity with a blend of conceptual and systematic design thinking.
- High intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, and strong problem\-solving mindset.
- Structured, methodical, and reliable execution, even under uncertainty.
- Humble, collaborative, and mission\-driven — values collective success over ego.
- High ethical standards and disciplined work ethic.
- Extra\-curricular achievements, leadership, or unique projects are a plus.
- NATO\-aligned nationality or close ally citizenship is required.
About us
The world is changing. Exponential technologies are enabling new types of security threats. ATS is committed to staying ahead by building nimble, scalable, and cost\-effective defences. We are looking for passionate team members who are eager to create exceptional products, safeguard our freedom, and strengthen the resilience of democracies.
Who we are: Autonomous Teaming is a defence\-tech start\-up specializing in machine vision solutions. Driven by cutting\-edge innovation, our team works on next\-generation technologies designed to meet rapidly evolving security challenges.
What we do: We develop systems that enable computers and sensors to operate as coordinated teams, collaborating in real time to counter AI\-powered asymmetric threats at scale — including drone swarms and other UXVs. Our mission is to build resilient, intelligent defence capabilities that perform reliably in the most demanding environments.
How we work: We value close, in\-person collaboration as the foundation for building complex, high\-impact technology, while maintaining flexibility aligned to role and team needs. Our culture is built on ownership, responsibility, and trust — with a shared commitment to growing and building together.
Where we are: Based in Munich, Berlin, and Toulouse, we are expanding rapidly across Europe with plans to open additional office hubs.
