Your resume and cover letter, tailored to exactly what they’re hiring for.
Binabik AI, a ZHAW spin-off focused on humanoid-robot driven manufacturing, offers a paid internship in Winterthur. You will help with content creation, events, onboarding and day-to-day operations while collaborating with founders and the Industry Engagement & Marketing Associate.
You'll gain hands-on experience in a deep-tech startup, publish work, and develop a portfolio. Mentoring is provided, with a potential path to full-time work or a thesis collaboration after completion.
Support our communication and help keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.
Humanoid robots that run your machines.
Binabik AI builds the software that lets humanoid robots do productive work on the factory floor. Our wheeled humanoids, AgiBot G2 and Galaxea R1 Pro, load and unload CNC lathes and mills, fetch material, carry parts and stack pallets. We focus on machine tending and intralogistics, the repetitive tasks that keep production running and are hard to staff.
Our approach combines proven methods from classical robotics, such as motion planning, perception and control, with recent advances in physical and agentic AI. The classical parts make the system reliable and the AI parts make it adaptable. Teaching a new task takes only a few recorded demonstrations. Binabik Teach captures them, and our Skill Engine breaks the task into reusable skills. Binabik Sim, our custom simulator, then replicates each skill and refines it across variations in parts, positions and environment conditions before it goes to the real machine. A hardware abstraction layer lets skills carry over between robot platforms, and data collected in operation goes back into improving them. Customer data stays on-premise.
We are a ZHAW spin-off with roots at the University of Zurich, the ETH AI Center and MIT. Our founders are experienced robotics and AI researchers who have published over 200 research papers. We are a pre-seed company finishing our first proofs of concept and moving towards industrial pilots. We plan to grow quickly over the next year, so the people who join now will help shape the product, the culture and the company.
A growing startup needs clear communication and well-organized operations alongside strong engineering. In this internship, you'll contribute to both. You'll create content about our robots and team, support trade fairs and Academy events, and help with onboarding, office organization, travel and day-to-day administration as the team grows.
You'll work directly with the founders and our Industry Engagement & Marketing Associate, and you'll leave with a portfolio of published work and practical operations experience in a deep-tech company.
Create content. You'll film and photograph robots in the lab, draft LinkedIn posts, short videos and website updates, and help maintain the content calendar.
Support events. You'll help prepare trade fairs, workshops, lab visits and team events.
Support operations. You'll help with onboarding, office organization, travel, supplier and invoice handling, and internal documentation.
Support recruiting. You'll publish job postings, coordinate interviews and help ensure a good experience for candidates.
Improve processes. You'll turn recurring tasks into simple templates, checklists and automations.
