Senior Embedded Robotics & Automation Engineer (m/f/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Munich

Our Mission

At Circus, headquartered in Hamburg with offices in Berlin and Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. From creation to production and operation – everything is enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology.

Our foundation lies in extensive advancements in groundbreaking robotics driven by artificial intelligence, previously the missing link in achieving true autonomous food automation. This is the moment for a new status quo: Just as autonomous driving will disrupt how we build cities, organize our days, and live our lives, we will transform how the world thinks about food.

Our team supports a paradigm shift in one of humanity’s most essential sectors with the sharpest minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering, and Culinary, collaborating closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize every aspect of the food service experience.

Join us as we forge ahead, crafting a future where the art of cooking and the science of technology converge to create a world that thinks differently about food—a world where food takes on new meaning.
