Application Engineer (f/m/d)

About this role

Responsibilities

• You are the bridge between a customer use case and our product. You take a task described on the shop floor, turn it into a working robot application, and translate what you learn back into concrete product requirements.
• You work on humanoid and industrial platforms, in our lab and at customer sites. You are close to the hardware, responsible for making applications work in practice, and know whether a grasp still holds after ten thousand cycles.
• You report to the CTO and work closely with Product, Software and Electronics.
• Use case to requirement. Analyse customer applications on site, understand their technical and operational constraints, and derive specific, testable product requirements.
• Skill implementation. Implement and optimise grasping and manipulation ski

About Tactiliarobotics

At TACTILIA, we are building the industry-ready robotic hand that closes one of the biggest gaps in Physical AI. Spun out of SCHUNK, the global market leader in gripping technology, we combine a decade of robotic-hand expertise and real industrial access with the speed and ambition of a deep-tech startup. This isn't a research project waiting for its first customer. We already have a product, customers are ready to use it, and we are launching now. Your work will directly shape the electronics, actuators, and embedded systems that make that possible. You will join at the moment when the hard engineering questions become real product decisions: how do we make a highly capable robotic hand reliable, manufacturable, serviceable, and simple enough to deploy on a real shop floor?
