Responsibilities include developing task methods, investigating sensor fusion techniques, implementing imitation learning pipelines, and collaborating with engineering teams to prototype so... ## Job description ## WHO WE ARE: We build the intelligence that lets robots sense, reason, and act in the real world—moving beyond the lab and into everyday industrial settings like warehouses and factories. Our technology closes the automation gaps that traditional systems can’t solve. We are on a mission to redefine how physical work gets done, and we’re looking for curious, bold thinkers to help shape the future of robotics with us. ## OVERVIEW: We are seeking a highly motivated Research Intern to contribute to our work on task decomposition and multimodal fusion for imitation learning in robotic manipulation. This internship is ideal for students or early-stage researchers passionate about applying machine learning, computer vision, and robotics to real-world industrial automation challenges. ## YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES: - Develop and evaluate task decomposition methods for complex robotic manipulation tasks. - Investigate multimodal sensor fusion (e.g., vision, force, tactile) techniques to improve policy learning. - Implement and benchmark imitation learning pipelines using both simulated and real-world robotic setups. - Collaborate with our engineering team to transfer research outcomes to prototype systems. - Document and present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. ## QUALIFICATIONS: ## MUST HAVE: - Enrolled in a Master’s or PhD program in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or a related field with a minimum GPA of 1.7 (German scale). - OR GitHub repository with at least 5 stars ## OTHER REQUIREMENTS: - Familiarity with reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or behavior cloning methods. - Hands-on experience with robotic platforms or simulation environments (e.g., PyBullet, Isaac Gym). - Strong programming skills in Python; familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow is a plus. - Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently. ## WHAT WE OFFER: - Flexible working hours - Option to work from home when needed - A motivated team and an open corporate culture ## About Sereact ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Sereact provides an embodied AI software layer that enables autonomous robotic picking, sorting, and inspection in industrial warehousing and logistics. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B – $110M raised in May 2026) - **Headquarters**: Stuttgart, Germany (with additional offices in Mason, Ohio, USA and Boston, Massachusetts, USA) - **Founded**: 2021 - **Founders**: Not publicly listed (the company was founded by a team of engineers from the University of Stuttgart / ARENA2036 ecosystem) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Industrial robotics / AI software for logistics and supply chain - **Target customers**: B2B – 3PLs, e‑commerce fulfillment centers, manufacturing, and retail enterprises - **Mission**: “Bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and physical execution” – building the foundational software layer for the next era of industrial robotics. ## Products & Services - **Cortex (VLAM – Vision Language Action Model)**: The core AI brain that enables zero-shot adaptation across standard 6‑axis and humanoid robot arms. Handles picking, placing, sorting, and inspection without retraining or tuning. - **Robotic Picking**: Autonomous pick‑and‑place with 98% first‑attempt success and peak speeds >650 UPH. - **Putwall Automation**: Batch picking and sortation for high‑throughput fulfillment. - **Return Handling**: Automated inspection, sorting, and routing of returned items. - **Embodied AI for Humanoids**: Dexterity module for changing tasks and mixed‑SKU environments. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $140.78M (including $110M Series B led by Headline, closed ~May 2026) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Headline (lead Series B); customers include Daimler Truck, Material Bank, Ludwig Meister - **Growth Signals**: - 50+ deployments across five continents - 500M+ real production picks processed - 99.9% uptime in live environments - 1 robot replaces 3–4.5 FTE, saving customers up to €111,000/month - Expansion into US market (offices in Ohio and Boston) ## Competitive Advantages - **Zero‑shot adaptability**: No retraining or retooling required when SKU mix changes – works out of the box on new items. - **Production‑proven VLAM**: Trained on millions of real‑world picks; works in brownfield sites, not just lab conditions. - **High reliability**: 98% first‑attempt pick success, >99% uptime, minimal human intervention (1 intervention per ~53,000 picks). - **Platform agnostic**: Supports standard 6‑axis and humanoid robot architectures. ## Strategic Focus - Scale deployments globally, especially in the US and Europe. - Continue advancing the Vision Language Action Model to handle increasingly complex manipulation tasks (e.g., humanoid dexterity). - Deepen partnerships with major logistics and manufacturing players. - Grow engineering and research teams to accelerate product development. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Fast‑paced, collaborative, with a strong emphasis on ownership and end‑to‑end project responsibility. Described as “uncharted territories” – ideal for engineers who want to push boundaries. - **Flexibility**: Flexible working hours and remote/hybrid options (specific policy not detailed, but “flexible working” is listed as a standard benefit). - **Perks**: Wellpass (wellness/fitness membership), regular team events, and a modern office in Stuttgart’s ARENA2036 innovation hub. - **Engineering focus**: Work on cutting‑edge embodied AI, computer vision, and robotics – from research to deployment. Steep learning curve and visible impact. - **Global exposure**: Opportunities to work across European and US teams. ## Sources 1. [sereact.ai – Homepage](https://sereact.ai/) 2.
