Munich area → Frankfurt area Full-time On site

Data Scientist – Robot Training & Performance (all genders)

You train humanoid robots, monitor their progress and make their performance measurable.

A job that doesn't exist yet

Among other things, Symbiosika works in robotics GYMs — training and validation environments where cognitive humanoid robots learn to take on real tasks. You get training operations up and running there: you train robots, monitor their progress and work closely with teleoperators. There is no blueprint for this role — and that's exactly the appeal.

What you'll do

  • Train and monitor robots: Run training sessions, observe behavior, fine-tune.
  • Work with teleoperators: Coordinate and guide teleoperation, and bring observations back to the team.
  • KPIs and targets: Using our in-house apps, you record training and performance data, track the metrics and work towards clearly defined targets.
  • Analysis and feedback: Analyze data and feed the insights back into our models and processes.

What you bring

  • Data scientist or AI engineer. You work with AI models — but you'd rather be at a real robot than stuck in a notebook.
  • The drive to help shape something that doesn't exist yet.
  • You work independently. You get clear goals and room to shape things, and you see topics through.
  • Very good German (at least C1). German is our working language on site.
  • Good English (at least B2) for technical literature and model documentation.
  • Willingness to travel during the first project phase.

Nice to have

  • Experience with VLA models (vision-language-action) or related approaches in embodied AI
  • Hands-on experience with ROS 2, robot simulation or teleoperation
  • Experience with data pipelines and analysis tooling
  • Driving licence (class B) — a plus, but not required

Most of it fits, but not all? Apply anyway — there is no perfect CV for this role.

Location: Munich first, then Frankfurt

  • Phase 1 (about 6 months): Munich area. This is where you get training operations going. This period involves travel. We take care of your accommodation.
  • Phase 2: Frankfurt area. After that, the position moves permanently to the Rhine-Main region.

On site: the robots and the hardware are in the GYM — so that's where you work, not from home.

What we offer

  • BahnCard 100 — from day one. Unlimited train travel across Germany, no booking hassle, weekends included.
  • 30 days of vacation plus flexible, trust-based working hours.
  • Room to shape things from day one: you define a role that didn't exist before.
  • Cutting-edge technology: cognitive humanoid robotics, VLA models, real pilot customers.
  • A direct line to management: a founding team of three, short decision paths.
