Job description

The generalist seat next to the founders. Keep a hardware company running and take whatever comes off the founders’ desks next.

What we’re looking for

• 0 to 4 years of experience: engineering, consulting, VC, startup ops, law, finance, or you founded something yourself
• You write clearly and fast, in English and French
• You’re comfortable with numbers, contracts and slides in the same afternoon
• You’d rather take a messy problem and own it than be handed a job description
• Discreet, structured, and allergic to open loops
• An engineering or robotics background is welcome: if you can read a schematic or a URDF, you’ll understand the company faster and the team will trust you sooner
