Senior Deep Learning Engineer (m/f/d) Contract

Your mission

At sewts we automate what others can’t. Gripping of deformable materials like textiles is a task most humans see as intuitive and simple. However, this is a complicated task for robots as they lack the detailed and contextual understanding of where and with what level of sensitivity to handle these textiles. As deep-tech enthusiasts, we teach industrial robots human perception skills. With over €10M in funding we will bring automation to the €1,500bn fashion industry to achieve our long-term vision. Enabling robots to fully automate clothing production.

You will make the difference! We have built a high-performance culture where efficient target achievement and consistent development is at the core of our company philosophy. We are working independently with ownership and a strong motivation to go the extra mile. We are setting our goals high, enjoying our daily challenges, while loving to share a laugh with our fellow team members. We are a diverse team, with many different nationalities, which values direct communication and open feedback.

You will be an integral part of our Software Team, which is responsible for bringing a highly performant AI platform, specialized on deformable materials, to life. It runs in all our robotic products, which comprises a framework to train AI models, a middleware to run a configurable pipeline including AI models, computer vision algorithms on an edge device, and a user interface for configuration, calibration, and monitoring.

As our new Senior Deep Learning Engineer (m/f/d), you will be an integral part of our Software Team. You will be conducting cutting edge research for our generalizing AI handling deformable materials with a focus on clothing. You will be responsible for doing literature reviews and prototyping of different deep learning and reinforcement learning approaches to estimate the state of a handling object and the action that is required to transpose it into a specified goal state. You will play an integral part in guiding our research from a Robotics manipulation and simulation perspective enabling us to build a generalized AI to learn robots’ manipulative tasks on deformable articles.
 
How you will create an impact with us:

• You will do cutting edge research and prototyping in reinforcement learning, object state estimation and learning based control; 
• You will develop state of the art Neural networks for handling deformable materials;
• You will develop simulation for 2D, 3D data generation and reinforcement learning of robot trajectories.

Your profile

• You have a Master’s degree or a PhD. in Machine Learning based Robotics and three years of research experience in Computational Robotics or a similar field; 
• You are experienced in Reinforcement Learning, Imitation Learning or Vision-based Robotic Manipulation;
• You have gained basic experience with learning-based control; 
• You are experienced in Python programming, PyTorch and TensorFlow; 
• You already had touchpoints with computer graphics and simulation platforms for robotics; 
• You have gained experience in Nvidia Omniverse, Gazebo MuJoCo  and C++ (a big plus!). 

Why us?

• Be a part of a leading robotics and automation startup in Munich and leave an impact from day one; 
• Develop your personal and professional skills with numerous opportunities, e.g., a yearly Learning and Development budget, Growth and Learning days, Udemy and Medium subscriptions; 
• Benefit from our Remote Work Policy, where you spend ≥60% of your time in the office with your team members and ≤40% in Mobile Office; 
• Engage in regular team events (e.g. barbecues, summer parties, ski trips and laser tag);
• Enjoy life in Munich with a competitive salary package, VSOPs, and additional monetary benefits.
