We started with a clear objective: eliminate chick culling on a global scale through early, non-invasive in-ovo sex detection. This outdated practice still impacts billions of lives, and we're here to change that. We're not building for the niche, we're building for the global standard. Today, our systems are already in use, and the focus is on scaling performance, robustness, and deployment across an international customer base. For us, scaling means more than growth. It means changing an industry for the better. We are looking for people who take ownership, think in systems, and want to help turn a working product into the industry benchmark. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. ## Your Mission You'll work directly with our Head of Finance&HR and keep the people side of Omegga running while we scale. This is not a "help out where needed" working student role. You own recurring processes end to end, and you get real responsibility from week one. - Onboarding & Offboarding: Own the operational employee lifecycle. Prepare contracts and documents, coordinate equipment and accounts, run structured first days, and manage clean offboardings. - Personio: Keep our HR system the single source of truth. Maintain employee data, absences, digital personnel files, and documentation quality, and help us get more out of the tool than we do today. - Recruiting Support: Draft and publish job ads, keep our applicant tracking system clean, coordinate interview scheduling, and own candidate communication so no application goes unanswered. - Recruiting Day: Organize our candidate day end to end: invitations, agenda, materials, interviewer briefings, and on site coordination. - Internal Events: Plan and run internal formats, from team events to company offsite - Development Budget: Take ownership of our people development budget. Build the process and guideline from scratch with us, then run it: track requests and spend, support colleagues in finding the right trainings, and keep it transparent. - Performance & Review Process: Help us prepare the rollout of our company wide review cycle. You build templates, timelines and tooling, and drive the internal communication around it. ## Your Profile - Enrolled student (Bachelor or Master), around 16 hours per week during the semester, more during breaks if you want to. We plan in weeks, not fixed days, so exams and lectures can be accommodated as long as recurring processes stay covered. Ideally for at least 12 months. Your field of study is open. Business, psychology, law or something entirely different. What matters is that you care how people work in a company, not which lecture hall you sit in. - Some practical experience in HR, recruiting or operations, ideally somewhere that moved fast. We don't need an HR certificate. We need structure and judgment. - You catch what others miss. The missing signature, the wrong start date, the empty field in Personio. In HR, sloppy data becomes someone's problem three months later. - Discretion is second nature. You handle contract and personnel data without ever making it a topic. - You'd rather fix a process than repeat it. New tools don't scare you (Personio, Ashby, Notion, Google Workspace), and manual work twice in a row makes you build something better. You close loops without being asked. You structure your own week, decide when a decision is needed, and you push back when someone tries to bend a process. Not ticking every box? That's okay. One exception to the above: German at C1 level or above is required for this role. If this role excites you and you bring most of what we've described, we want to hear from you. ## Why Us Mission & Technical Challenge: At Omegga, you work on problems that are both technically demanding and globally relevant. We build deep-tech solutions with real-world impact, pushing the boundaries of what's currently possible. Real Ownership: You won't be doing research tasks on the side. You run processes that the whole company touches, and you'll see the results of your work in how the whole team experiences Omegga. Work Environment: Located in Munich's Werksviertel, we combine a focused, high-performance culture with flexibility. Most of our work happens in the office, remote work is possible depending on the task. ## About Omegga ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Omegga develops a non-invasive, AI-powered spectroscopy solution for early-stage in-ovo sex detection of chicken embryos to eliminate the practice of culling male chicks. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: Munich, Germany - **Founded**: 2020 - **Founders**: Katharina Maria Hesseler (CEO), Paul Günther (Co-Founder), Till Nöllgen (Co-Founder & Technischer Geschäftsführer) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: AgTech (Agricultural Technology), Biotechnology, Animal Welfare Technology - **Target customers**: B2B – Hatcheries, egg-laying farms, and poultry industry operators, primarily in regulated markets (e.g., Germany, France, EU). - **Mission or purpose statement**: To accelerate the world’s transition to culling-free egg production and become the leading global provider for in-ovo sexing, making poultry farming more ethical and resource-efficient. ## Products & Services - **OmeggaOne System**: A hardware-software solution integrating a rotating measurement arm into existing hatchery incubator infrastructure. It uses visible light to non-invasively scan embryonated eggs every 5 hours from incubation day 3-6. Collected data is uploaded to the cloud, where an AI model determines the sex of the embryo by day 7. Male and unviable eggs are then removed and repurposed for secondary use (e.g., vaccine industry), freeing up over 50% of incubator space. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available. - **Key Metric**: Total funding of ~€12.4M USD. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: IQ Capital, Capnamic, EIC Fund, OMA Ventures (ex-ProGlove founders), Getty Labs, Rockstart AgriFood, EIT Food, StartLife, and the European Innovation Council (EIC). - **Growth Signals**: - Awarded €2.4 million in non-dilutive funding from the European Innovation Council (top 4% of applicants). - Completed large-scale industry pilots with German hatchery Gut Averfeld. - First customer fully equipped with the OmeggaOne System in 2025, with further customer implementations ongoing. - Hosted 70+ customers and industry experts for live demonstrations in Münster. - Currently doubling team size (14 employees as of mid-2026, +40% YoY). - Featured in major television formats and at trade fairs like EuroTier 2024 and VIV Europe 2026. ## Competitive Advantages - **Cost-Effectiveness**: Core technology uses visible light (“Nothing is cheaper than light”), making it affordable, fast, and precise. It requires no consumables like chemicals or needles and no additional personnel. - **Non-Invasive & Early**: The method is purely optical and non-invasive, ensuring no harm to the embryo. Sex is determined by day 7 of incubation, well before the embryo can feel pain, and early enough to repurpose eggs efficiently. - **Regulatory Alignment**: Directly addresses bans on chick culling in Germany (2022) and France (2023), and anticipates an EU-wide ban. Offers hatcheries a compliant, economically viable alternative. - **Scalable Integration**: The measurement arm is designed to integrate into existing hatchery incubator infrastructure, minimizing disruption and capital expenditure for customers. - **Patented Technology**: Holds at least one patent for its measuring system and method (filed August 2023). ## Strategic Focus - **Market Expansion**: After successful piloting and first customer deployment in Germany, the company is moving toward broader market availability (targeting the German market in 2025, now scaling). - **Product Development**: Continuing to refine the OmeggaOne system, with a focus on reliability, speed, and integration at scale. - **Team Scaling**: Actively hiring to double the team, focusing on robotics, deep learning, mechanical engineering, and customer-facing roles to support commercial growth. - **Global Ambition**: Aiming to become the leading global provider for in-ovo sexing, with sights set beyond poultry into broader spectroscopy applications. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-Driven Impact**: The company’s core purpose is to solve a massive ethical and environmental problem—the culling of 7 billion male chicks annually. Employees directly contribute to a more humane and sustainable food system. - **High-Growth Environment**: The company is in a rapid scaling phase (doubling headcount, new funding, first commercial customers), offering significant ownership, responsibility, and career growth opportunities. - **Interdisciplinary Team**: The team comprises entrepreneurs, engineers, veterinarians, and industry experts, creating a rich, cross-functional learning environment. - **Location & Perks**: Based in Munich, Germany. The company is backed by top-tier European VCs and has a strong engineering culture focused on robotics, AI, and hardware. Specific remote/hybrid policy is not publicly detailed, but the hands-on nature of the hardware suggests a strong on-site presence. - **Recent Funding & Stability**: A recent €10M equity round led by IQ Capital and Capnamic, plus non-dilutive EIC funding, provides a strong financial runway for the upcoming growth phase. ## Sources 1.
