## Job description

Join SE3 Labs as Communications & Social Media Associate Find the stories in SE3's technology and field work, and write them so well that people choose to read them.

## About SE3

SE3 Labs builds spatial intelligence and autonomy software for unmanned systems. We combine 3D computer vision, state estimation and AI to help autonomous platforms perceive their surroundings, know where they are and operate when GPS and other sensors become unreliable. Defence is a core application of our work today. We are growing to a team of 100+ people. Join at a stage where you can shape our Communications team, help build the team and grow your responsibilities as the company expands.

## About the Role

As Communications & Social Media Associate, you'll turn conversations with our founders, engineers and customer-facing colleagues into essays, explanations and posts that help customers, partners and future colleagues understand what we build. You'll work directly with the founders, our technical team and our creative director, with the team in Munich. We would rather publish fewer excellent pieces than fill a calendar, so you'll have protected time to research, draft and revise.

## What You'll Work On

- Story Finding: Speak with engineers, founders and colleagues working with customers to find the result, observation or argument worth sharing, and understand the evidence behind it.
- Writing & Editing: Write and edit essays, product explanations, short technical papers, website copy and social posts.
- Founder Voice: Help the founders express their ideas in their own voices and build a consistent presence across founder and company channels.
- Publishing: Take pieces from first draft through feedback and publication, choose the audience, format, channel and timing with the founders, and learn from the response.
- Talks & Announcements: Prepare interviews, talks and announcements by researching the audience and finding useful examples and questions.
- Visual Material: Plan photographs and footage before important tests, visits and events with our creative director and specialist photographers or filmmakers.
- Accuracy & Approvals: Keep drafts and sources organised, check claims with the people who know, and obtain approvals before publishing.

## Your Profile

- You take responsibility for finishing what you start, raise a concern when a draft is wrong and use direct feedback to improve your work.
- You write excellent English, with samples that show independent thought and careful revision. Your best work might come from a student publication, an internship, a personal blog or a research project.
- You're a recent graduate or have up to three years of experience. Previous full-time communications experience is not required.
- You're curious about technology and can research, check facts and explain complex subjects without losing what matters.
- You have good editorial judgement and notice unsupported claims, empty phrases and details that change the meaning of a sentence.
- You're based in Munich or willing to relocate. Strong German is a plus, particularly for work with German customers and institutions. Given the nature of SE3's work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to work on defence-related projects and, where required, obtain the relevant security clearance.

Especially Valued Bonus Skills

- Strong spoken & written German.
- Interest in technology, science, defence or public policy.
- Experience interviewing people and preparing questions in depth.
- A body of writing on technical or complex subjects.

## Perks & Benefits

- Real Ownership: Participate in SE3's growth through our employee participation programme
- Work Environment to Excel at: Find a high-quality and modern toolset, flat hierarchy and a skilled, driven team which will push the limits together with you
- AI-boosted workplace: We empower every employee with best-in-class AI tools and agents, giving you unlimited access to the latest advancements and a true productivity edge
- 31 Paid Days Off: 30 vacation days plus your birthday off
- Well-being Access: Free membership to gyms, yoga, and wellness through EGYM Wellpass
- Team Offsites: We go on 2 company retreats per year, our last ones were in Italy and Greece
- Mentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers and get paired with a professional mentor to support your growth

Our Process

- Intro Call (30 min): Let's get to know each other.
- Paid Writing Exercise: Turn a technical interview we supply into a short post and a longer explanation, then revise both after our feedback.
- Writing Interview (1 hr): We discuss your writing samples, how you researched them and what you contributed to each.
- Team Dinner / Lunch: Meet the team and see whether it is a strong fit on both sides.

Please include two or three pieces of writing with your application, explain what you personally contributed to each and tell us why this work interests you. If you have an early draft and a much improved version, we would be glad to see both.
