The posting

We’re looking for an Experienced Robot Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale the next generation of automation in Controlled Environment Agriculture. You’ll work hands-on with complex robotic systems — from concept to deployment — and play a key role in making our technology smarter, faster, and more reliable.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with experts across software, mechanics, electronics, and computer vision. You’ll take ownership of core software components and help guide architectural decisions as we scale our robotic platform.

You’ll also mentor junior developers and bring real-world products to life — in greenhouses across Europe and beyond.

You report to the Head of Engineering and will be instrumental in both technical development and system-level thinking.

Your role includes the following responsibilities:

  1. Building Smart Systems • Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable software for real-time robotic systems. • Write efficient, high-quality code (primarily in C++, Python as secondary). • Integrate with embedded hardware, sensors, and motor controllers. • Debug and optimize for performance, reliability, and safety.
  1. Leading Engineering Thinking • Contribute to system architecture and high-level software decisions. • Translate product requirements into modular, testable software. • Drive process improvements, mentor junior engineers, and maintain code quality. • Collaborate across disciplines to deliver seamlessly integrated systems.
  1. Delivering Real-World Impact • Ensure that our robots perform reliably in greenhouse environments. • Identify and fix root causes of technical issues at scale. • Support deployment and iterate based on field data and feedback. • Think ahead: build with maintenance, scalability, and sustainability in mind.

Your profile • Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering Sciences, or similar • 3+ years of experience in robotics software development or embedded systems • Strong C++ skills; working knowledge of Python and Git workflows

• Knowledge of automated testing and CI/CD, using systems like Docker, Github Actions or Jenkins is a strong plus • Experience with system integration and performance debugging • Familiarity with ROS, IoT, or vision systems is a strong plus • You love solving complex problems and thrive in a fast-paced R&D environment • You work independently, communicate clearly, and enjoy collaboration across disciplines • Fluent in Dutch and English (spoken and written)

Our offer • A high-impact engineering role in a fast-growing robotics company • The chance to shape real-world robotics products used across Europe • A multidisciplinary team with strong technical expertise and open communication • A culture built on trust, ownership, and shared purpose (we work in a Teal structure) • A place to grow: personal development budget, mentorship, and autonomy • Competitive compensation and flexibility in how you work

About Octiva Octiva is a fast-growing robotics company on a mission to help growers succeed through smart automation. Our advanced robotic systems are built for high-performance operation in greenhouses, combining precision, reliability, and real-world impact.

Formed from the merger of Priva’s robotic division and Octinion’s agricultural robotics team, we combine decades of horticultural expertise with deep technical know-how. With teams in Belgium and the Netherlands, we’re expanding internationally — and building a team of ambitious, collaborative professionals ready to shape the future of sustainable agriculture.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
