AI-driven industrial robotics and automation for manufacturing
Agile Robots operates a vertically integrated robotics company—manufacturing, research, and AI subsidiaries under one roof—with 2,500+ employees and one of the largest R&D teams in robotics. Their stack reveals a production-grade operation: industrial controls (Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff) paired with modern ML infrastructure (PyTorch, TensorFlow, TorchServe, ROS 2). Active projects span sim-to-real transfer, high-DOF hand research, and large-scale robotic data pipelines, while hiring leans heavily engineering (64 of 117 open roles), signaling continued platform expansion and data infrastructure maturity.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead
Agile Robots designs and manufactures next-generation industrial automation systems that combine AI and robotics for manufacturing, logistics, and similar sectors. Founded in 2018 by DLR researchers in Munich, the company has grown to over 2,500 employees across Germany and the United States, operating as a publicly listed company with subsidiaries including audEERING, BÄR Automation, Franka Robotics, and idealworks—together covering robotics hardware, AI models, cobots, and industrial automation integration. The product portfolio spans collaborative robots, perception systems, and integrated automation platforms deployed in customer manufacturing environments.
Agile Robots uses Siemens (Step 7, TIA Portal, S7-1200), C/C++/C#/Java for embedded systems, ROS 2 for robotics middleware, PyTorch and TensorFlow for ML, Docker for deployment, and CANopen/PROFINET for industrial networking. Currently adopting SAP S/4HANA for enterprise systems.
Agile Robots posts jobs in Germany (Munich headquarters) and the United States. The company operates across both countries with steady hiring velocity across engineering, research, and manufacturing functions.
