Overview: We are looking for a world-class robotics professionals to join our R&D hub in the Zurich area. In this role, you will be at the forefront of developing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models that enable robots to understand and interact with the world with unprecedented generalization. You will work on the intersection of large-scale foundation models and real-world robotic execution, bridging the gap between state-of-the-art research and deployed embodied intelligence.

Your Responsibilities: Research & Development:

- Design, implement, and scale VLA models and foundation architectures for robotic manipulation and navigation.

Scaling Laws & Data:

- Develop strategies for multi-modal data collection, synthetic data generation, and efficient fine-tuning of large-scale models.

Algorithm Optimization:

- Optimize model inference for real-time robotic applications without compromising reasoning capabilities.

Publication & Visibility:

- Contribute to the global research community by publishing high-impact papers at top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, CVPR, ICRA, CoRL, etc.).

Collaboration:

- Work closely with the Core Robotics and Hardware teams to integrate AI models into our physical platforms.

Qualifications: Academic Excellence:

- PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field, with a focus on Deep Learning and Computer Vision.

Proven Research Track Record:

- Significant publications and citations at major conferences such as NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ICRA, IROS, or CoRL.

Professional Background:

- Experience working in leading AI research environments

Technical Mastery:

- Deep expertise in PyTorch or JAX, experience with Transformers, Diffusion Models, and Large Language Models (LLMs).

Domain Knowledge:

- Strong understanding of Vision-Language models and their application to Action/Control loops in robotics.

Location: Zurich Area, Switzerland:

- This role is based in our Zurich office, offering a vibrant ecosystem for robotics and AI.

What We Offer:

- Free meals at the workplace.
- Flexible working hours and the option to work from home when needed.
- Direct collaboration with founders and world-leading AI experts.

## 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.
