Ground Robotics Jobs in European Defence23 jobs

Among the startups and SMEs tracked on DefenceJobs, ground robotics companies include Rollo Robotics (logistics UGVs, Viljandi), GoCraft (autonomous vehicles, Tallinn), Pelixar (autonomous systems, Warsaw) and ASAX Innovation (Viljandi). Roles typically split between software (autonomy stacks, perception, path planning), hardware (mechanical and electrical integration) and field operations (testing, deployment, customer support). Experience with ROS, computer vision or SLAM is valued across most technical roles, though specific requirements vary by employer and platform type.

Security clearance requirements depend on how closely the work touches classified military programmes. Startups building dual-use platforms or working at lower classification levels typically do not require clearance at the application stage, and the employer generally initiates the process after hiring. English is the working language at most internationally-focused ground robotics companies, particularly in the Baltics and Central Europe.
