Robotics Application Engineer
We provide innovative solutions for robotized mowing technologies and outdoor power equipment (OPE).
To grow further, address new markets and better serve our customers, we are looking for a Robotics Application Engineer to join our R&D Application Engineering Team, based in Wavre, Belgium.
You will work on autonomous outdoor robots with a focus on validation, AI and real‑world applications, ensuring our robots, embedded software and connected services are robust, safe and ready for the field.
This is a multidisciplinary hands‑on engineering role, mixing simulation, lab testing, field testing and data analysis — not a desk‑only validation function. You will have close cooperation with our software development team, mechanical development team, customer service department and sales team.
Validation & testing
Validation of embedded software for autonomous products.
Validation of smartphone application and web portal.
Increase validation automation, repeatability and test coverage across software releases.
Development of Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SiL) and Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HiL) test environments.
Analyse large datasets (logs, images, sensor data) to assess robustness, performance and failure modes of AI features.
Test autonomous robot behaviour in real outdoor environments (navigation, localisation, safety and performance).
Support key customer installations, pilots and field tests in collaboration with dealers and partners.
Participate in root‑cause analysis of complex field issues (hardware, software, GNSS, connectivity, AI behaviour, usage).
Translate field feedback and validation results into actionable input for R&D.
Create and maintain clear, high‑quality technical documentation : user manuals and quick guides, technician and validation documentation, release notes and technical bulletins
You have a Master’s degree in Engineering, by preference in SW and/or system engineering.
Experience in Mechatronics (robotics, automotive, medical equipment or devices, railway, etc.) or Agricultural engineering is an advantage.
Broad engineering knowledge (mechanics, electronics, software, telecommunications, sensors) with an understanding of robotic system design, integration, and validation.
Strong data analysis skill s using scripts, automation, Power BI and Database tools.
Robot software and embedded systems
Linux‑based environments
Interest or experience in AI, camera systems or data‑driven validation is a strong plus.
Interest in outdoor robotics, GNSS‑based systems or mobile robots is a plus
Solution-oriented and pragmatic approach to addressing engineering challenges.
Effective communicator for providing feedback and training.
Enjoys combining simulation, lab testing and real‑world field work
Languages
~ Proficient in English ; ability to work in French is required. Knowledge of Dutch, German, or Japanese is a plus.
Multiples trainings to strengthen your skills
