Founding Engineer Application & Deployment Lead

Were an early-stage robotics startup backed by 1M in pre-seed funding from a leading European VC. Our founder team combines robotics experience from Fraunhofer IPA TUM MIRMI and industrial automation companies with strategy & Go-to-market experience from Google Amazon McKinsey & BCG.

Our mission is to build the leading integration company for the autonomous manufacturing revolution. We believe robots will fundamentally reshape manufacturing over the coming decade but realizing this vision requires bridging the gap between frontier research and production-ready automation.

We are looking for an ambitious founding engineer to join our team super early who wants to deploy robotic automation solutions at scale and build a strong team for the deployment of our products at scale.

If you have a manufacturing background a builders mindest and want to join a startup as part of the founding team we would love to hear from you!

• Build the product engineering and deployment backbone of the company

• Assemble a team of application engineers and manage customer deployments

• Design build install and troubleshoot scalable industrial robotic solutions

• Integrate sensors cameras pneumatics end-effectors and industrial I/Os

• Manufacture assemble test and iterate prototypes and customer systems

• Own certification and safety compliance

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics Automation Engineering or a related field

• Hands-on mentality and enthusiasm for building real hardware

• Experience with CAD 3D-printing and manufacturing technolgies

• First experience in automation technology robotics or automation machinery

• Independent pragmatic and solution-oriented way of working

• Experience with one or more of the following makes you stand out:

• PLC & Industrial communication robot programming or pneumatics

Take Ownership: Join an early-stage startup where your ideas shape the company product and technology. Since this is an elementary role of the founding team this role includes a meaningful equity package.

State-of-the-Art Tools and Machinery: Work hands-on with the latest robotics platforms machine tools 3D-printers and more.

Accelerate Your Growth: Take on challenging problems and grow faster than in almost any other environment.

Freedom & Responsibility: Shape your responsibilities around your strengths and interests with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.

Great Perks: Free dinners gym membership team events and other startup perks.

Team & Culture: Join a team of young and ambitious builders who enjoy solving hard problems and have fun playing with the latest technolgies.

We appreciate a builders mindset more than a polished CV. If youre excited about robotics love building things and want to work on technology that will shape the future of manufacturing wed love to hear from you.

An informal Cover Letter is appreciated but not necessary.

• Design prototype and test mechanical components and automation assemblies for our robotics hardware.

• Integrate sensors actuators and control systems into physical prototypes.

• Collaborate closely with software and electrical engineering teams to ensure seamless hardware-software co-design.

• Iterate on designs through rapid prototyping and rigorous physical testing.

• Establish manufacturing pipelines and quality standards for our mechanical parts.

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics or a related field.

• Practical experience in designing mechanical systems for automation or robotics.

• Proficiency with CAD software for 3D modeling and technical drawing.

• Hands-on experience assembling and testing physical hardware prototypes in a lab or workshop setting.

• Fluent command of English and a collaborative problem-solving mindset.

If you match most of these requirements and are excited about building early-stage robotics hardware we encourage you to apply even if your background does not tick every single box.

We are not a classical system integrator. As robots become more flexible and general- purpose we build scalable products instead of single cell deployments. If you believe in making Europes manufacturing industry strong again and dont want to waste your best years working in slow and boring teams we need you on board!
