Founder Associate Wanted (mfd) – Strategy & Operations | Munich
Job Summary
Robots couldnt handle soft materials. We fixed that.
Now were scaling it into reality - and scaling a deep tech company means the founders cant be everywhere at once. We need someone who can close that gap.
At sewts we build the intelligence that lets robots manipulate deformable materials like textiles towels cables with human-like precision. Our systems are already deployed in production across Europe and the US.
We are building a foundational technology stack called . JUPITER uses genAI to realistically simulate the behaviour of deformable and soft objects creating the computer vision models and grabbing strategies behind our machines.
This is where strategy meets execution. And at this stage nothing runs on autopilot.
