Job Description

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design, build, and scale automated CI/CD pipelines tailored for safe Over-The-Air (OTA) software and firmware rollouts to robots in the field.

• Containerize and optimize complex AI workloads and ROS2 environments using Docker for deployment on edge hardware (NVIDIA Jetson platforms).

• Configure and maintain lightweight container orchestration (K3s/Kubernetes) adapted for resource-constrained edge servers and local lab infrastructure.

• Establish automated, resilient data-ingestion pipelines to stream high-density field data updates back to local servers.

• Support the simulation infrastructure, ensuring a smooth automated data pipeline

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 3–5 years of hands-on DevOps/MLOps engineering experience within Linux-heavy environments.

• Proven experience building automated deployment loops and handling container production environments (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with edge computing challenges, embedded hardware interfaces, or network data streaming protocols (MQTT, gRPC).

• Strong scripting and automation capabilities (Python, Bash).

• Fluency in both Greek and English

• High autonomy and a problem-solving mindset — able to translate the infrastructure needs of diverse engineers into robust automated systems.

NICE TO HAVE

• Direct experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms

• Background or strong personal interest in robotics systems or physical AI technologies.

WHAT IS THERE FOR YOU

• Compensation: upper-quartile for the Greek market;

• Ownership: Full accountability over the Robotics division's DevOps and Edge MLOps infrastructure — you define the automation standards;

• Remote: Flexible format: fully remote, or hybrid from our Athens office;

• AI-Native Environment: Real challenges across physical AI, edge servers, humanoid R&D, and advanced robotics deployment;

• Growth: Possibility to get training from the Robotics companies;

• Culture: Engineering-first, high autonomy, low bureaucracy — your infrastructure choices directly shape the fleet's execution capabilities.
