(Senior) Software Engineer (m/f/d) Fleet Management Systems

Team and Mission

We are an international team developing a UWB-based Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) that powers critical industrial applications. Our solutions support production, logistics, and intralogistics processes through products such as KINEXON Fleet Manager and Forklift Guidance, enabling both autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and manually operated forklifts.

Tech Stack

Backend: Our core backend services are primarily written in Python. Depending on use case and performance needs, we also use Go and TypeScript.

Frontend: We build single-page applications using Vue.js for configuration and analytics UIs. For high-performance visualizations, we leverage WebGL-based frameworks.

Infrastructure & DevOps: Our systems are deployed using containerized, Docker-based workflows in a distributed microservice environment.

Developer Enablement: We actively use AI-powered coding assistants and automated code review tools to accelerate development, prototyping, refactoring, and quality assurance.
