Head of System (Robotics)

Head of System – Humanoid Robotics | Munich | Up to €200,00 + 20% Bonus + VSOP

We're building the next generation of humanoid robots — and we're looking for a Head of System to own the architecture that ties it all together.

The Role

As Head of System, you'll own the robot's system architecture end-to-end: kinematics, sensor placement, compute distribution, and the critical mechanics-to-control loop. You'll drive AI-to-platform integration in close partnership with our CAIO, and lead the technical teams responsible for turning architecture into a working, intelligent machine.

You'll report directly to the founders and work hand-in-hand with the Head of Hardware to ensure system design and physical realization move in lockstep — architecture that's not just elegant on paper, but manufacturable and industrializable from day one.

You'll lead:

• Software Lead
• Systems Engineering Lead
• Robot Architect

What you'll own:

• Robot system architecture — kinematics, sensor placement, compute distribution
• The mechanics-to-control loop across the full platform
• AI-to-platform integration, working directly with the CAIO
• Software and embedded systems leadership across the org

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience architecting complex robotic systems — ideally humanoid, legged, or highly dexterous manipulation platforms
• Deep fluency across kinematics, controls, embedded/software systems, and sensor integration
• A track record of leading technical teams through prototype-to-production
• Comfort operating at both the architecture whiteboard and the shop floor
