- Tight, agile team: Current staff of ~17, with a culture of "building things yourself" and seeing direct impact weekly.
- Cutting‑edge technology: Close proximity to ETH Zurich research; team leaders have PhDs in physical AI and machine learning. Projects span perception, control, and motion planning.
- Work environment: Hybrid/on‑site likely (Zurich-based); regular customer site visits. Benefits include direct collaboration with founders and a "tough challenges, fast execution" atmosphere.
- Open roles: As of mid‑2025, actively hiring a Hardware/Field Robotics Engineer Intern, with plans to grow further.
