Neura Robotics • Metzingen

Overview

Shape the Future of Human-Robot Collaboration. In the Software Department, you will shape robotic solutions that redefine human-machine collaboration. You will work with cutting-edge technology, set industry-changing standards, and drive innovations forward in an agile and interdisciplinary team with clear Scrum practices (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews). You will collaborate with other departments to create software solutions that are technically advanced and practically effective.

Your Mission & Challenges

• Leading Frontend & UX Development: Defining the technology and design roadmap for all digital interfaces across web, desktop, and mobile. Implementing new interaction architectures and design systems — from early concept through to production release.
• Neuraverse Platform & Design Development: Overseeing end-to-end design and frontend development of the Neuraverse platform in collaboration with product managers and business heads. Translating product strategy and business requirements into coherent, scalable digital experiences.
• Leadership and further development of an interdisciplinary team of frontend engineers and UX/UI designers for all digital product surfaces: component libraries, interaction patterns, motion design, accessibility standards, and cross-platform consistency. Close cooperation with product management, backend engineering, and hardware teams.
• Productionisation & scaling: Transitioning prototypes and design concepts into production-grade digital products. Design for performance, maintainability, and scalability. Cost-effective tooling decisions and compliance with quality standards across all surfaces.
• Standards & accessibility: Ensuring compliance with relevant standards (e.g. WCAG 2.1/2.2, iOS/Android platform guidelines) and design system governance requirements for all digital products.
• Sovereignty in complex product environments: Making qualified technical and design decisions. Identifying pragmatic solutions, taking into account user needs, engineering constraints, timelines, and available resources.
• Vendor and partner management: Selection and management of external design, frontend, and tooling partners.

What we look forward to

• Completed studies in interaction design, computer science, media informatics, or a comparable qualification.
• At least 8–10 years of experience in frontend engineering, UX/product design, or digital product leadership — ideally within complex hardware-plus-software environments.
• Proven several years of experience shipping production-grade digital products, including hands-on experience with component libraries, design systems, and cross-platform development.
• At least 8–10 years of experience leading interdisciplinary teams and managing external partners across design and engineering disciplines.
