Back to jobsSenior DevOps Engineer, Robotics (m/f/d)MunichAPPLYAbout the role At ARX Robotics, you will help bring autonomous robotic systems from development into real-world operation. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will design and scale the infrastructure, automation pipelines, and operational tooling that power mission-ready robotic platforms in demanding field environments.  This role sits at the intersection of robotics, infrastructure, and software engineering. You will work closely with autonomous systems, enabling teams to build, test, release, and operate robotic software reliably and at scale. From CI/CD pipelines and ROS-based systems to cloud and edge infrastructure, containers, and observability, your work will have a direct impact on how robotic fleets are developed, deployed, monitored, and maintained. What You’ll Build Design and operate end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for ROS2-based platforms, covering build, test, packaging, release, and deployment workflows  Build and maintain scalable infrastructure for robotic fleet deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management  Implement infrastructure-as-code practices to ensure reproducible, auditable, and version-controlled environments  Collaborate closely with software, testing, and hardware teams to ensure systems are continuously deliverable, testable, and production-ready  Automate operational workflows using Python, Bash, and modern DevOps tooling  Build and manage containerized environments and orchestration systems for robotic software stacks  Establish observability practices including logging, metrics, alerting, and tracing across robotic platforms  Improve release reliability, rollback capabilities, and operational scalability across development and field environments  Troubleshoot and optimize robotic system infrastructure across CAN, Ethernet, and wireless communication networks  Support rapid prototyping and MVP releases to validate new robotic capabilities in the field  Document DevOps architectures, runbooks, and best practices to support knowledge sharing across teams  What You Bring Strong experience working with ROS2 and robotics software systems in real-world environments  Solid software engineering skills in Python and/or C++ combined with strong Linux fundamentals  Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and containerized systems, ideally with GitLab-based workflows  Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, or similar)  Strong scripting and automation skills using Python and Bash  Good understanding of networking and communication protocols including CAN, Ethernet, and wireless systems  Experience with observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or similar)  Experience troubleshooting complex interactions between software, hardware, and robotic infrastructure  Confidence working in fast-paced engineering environments with rapidly evolving systems  A proactive and structured approach to solving operational and reliability challenges  Strong collaboration and communication skills across software, hardware, and testing teams Professional proficiency in English  Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further. What We Offer Join a mission-driven European defense tech company at a pivotal stage of growth, where you can help shape meaningful technology, take ownership early, and grow with the business!  Competitive compensation package including a bonus opportunity  27 vacation days to start, increasing with tenure up to 30 days  Employer-supported pension contribution  Learning & development support and team events budget  Employee discounts and flexible benefits budget via Probonio  Hybrid working setup depending on role and team needs  Structured salary bands, levelling framework, and bi-annual development conversations  Referral bonus program,...
