Zusammenfassung

Sewts is building intelligent systems that enable robots to manipulate deformable materials. Munich-based, you will design industrial robot cells from concept to production, tackle motors, conveyors, pneumatics, and robot selection, and rapidly prototype ideas.

You will own the engineering data and drive end-to-end ownership with a hands-on mindset, contributing to scalable, production-ready solutions in Europe and beyond.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• 2+ years in product design and development, ideally in robotics or automation.
• Solid CAD skills with Inventor and SolidWorks.
• Hands-on, tinkerer's mindset; love building machines and processes that enable automation.
• Independent with real ownership over what you build; fluent English; German a plus.

Aufgaben

• Design and develop industrial robot cells from concept to production-ready systems.
• Perform motor, conveyor, and pneumatic calculations; select appropriate robots.
• Create fast prototypes to test, break, and improve new ideas.
• Own engineering data: CAD models, drawings, versions; maintain traceability.

Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

Robots couldn't handle soft materials. We fixed that. Now we're scaling it into reality, and we need the sharpest engineering minds: the ones who turn breakthrough ideas into machines that hold up.

At sewts, we build the intelligence that lets robots manipulate deformable materials — textiles, towels, cables — with human-like precision. Our systems are already deployed in production across Europe and expanding into the US. We are building a foundational technology stack called sewts.JUPITER. JUPITER uses genAI to realistically simulate the behavior of deformable and soft objects, creating the computer vision models and grasping strategies behind our machines. Based on our physical AI, for the first time ever, robots can handle soft and deformable materials. With over €10M in funding, we will bring automation into untapped industries: cloth manufacturing, textiles handling, recycling, and e-commerce. This is where AI leaves the screen and enters the physical world.

WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

• Industrial robot cells— you design and develop them from early concept to production-ready system.
• The engineering behind the machine: calculations for motors, conveyors, and pneumatics, and the selection of the right robots for the job
• Fast prototypes: turn new ideas into working solutions you can test, break, and improve.
• Engineering data the whole team can rely on: CAD models, drawings, versions. You own it.

Your profile

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 2+ years in product design and development, ideally in robotics or automation.
• Solid CAD skills — we work with Inventor and SolidWorks.
• A hands-on, tinkerer's mindset: you love building machines, tools, and processes that make automation happen.
• A proactive, independent way of working, with real ownership over what you build.
• Fluent English; German is a plus.

NICE TO HAVES

• Experience with electrical or pneumatic design.
• Exposure to PLM tools or CAD version-control practices.
• A background in robotics, automotive, or the textile/laundry industry.

Please note: you don't need to tick every box. We're looking for motivated people excited to grow into the role.

WHY THIS ROLE

• Direct, visible impact: every system you design ends up running live, keeping robots working reliably in the field.
• You build technology that has never existed before — mechanical systems for physical AI.
• Real responsibility from day one: you own your designs end-to-end, from first sketch to production line.
• A team that respects craft. The engineers who design and build systems that actually hold up are never an afterthought here.
• Grow with us as we scale across Europe — your designs are at the core of that expansion.
• Munich-based, with the chance to see your work in action at customer sites across Europe.

Why us?

Setup & Benefits

• Competitive salary + VSOP participation.
• Learning budget + fast growth environment.
• Deutschlandticket + EGYM Wellpass.
• Speciality coffee at the office.
• Flexible working setup.
• Regular team events, high trust, low bureaucracy.

REALITY CHECK

Deformable materials are unpredictable, parts wear down under real loads, and sometimes the fix isn't in any manual — it's you, hands-on, figuring it out on the spot. If you need a clean workshop and a fully predictable schedule, this probably isn't the right fit. If you get energy from building things that actually hold up in the real world, and love being the one who makes it work: welcome to sewts.

About Us

At sewts we are automating complex processes by teaching robots human-like perception skills. We are a young, ambitious, and diverse team of eight different nationalities with the mission to become the global go-to Partner for automated processing of deformable and soft materials. We are always willing to push our boundaries to reach our goals and targets, while learning from the daily challenges of an emerging startup. We are always on a hunt for likeminded individuals who are passionate about robotics automation, AI and courageous to create an impact.
