Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

Robots couldn't handle soft materials. We fixed that. Now we’re scaling it into reality and need the sharpest talent to make the possibilities stick. At Sewts we build intelligence that lets robots manipulate deformable materials like textiles, towels, and 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 generative AI to simulate the realistic behavior of deformable & soft objects to create corresponding computer vision models and grabbing strategies. Based on our physical AI, for the first time ever, robots are enabled to handle soft & deformable materials. With over €10M in funding we will bring automation into all untapped industries, like cloth manufacturing, textile handling, recycling, and e‑commerce. This is where AI leaves the screen and enters the physical world.

Your Mission

You will work directly with engineering and customer teams to deploy, operate, and stabilise physical AI systems in real production environments and build relationships that keep them running. You’ll work 7 days a week at customer facilities across Europe, learn fast, move fast, and solve problems most people avoid. Getting a robot to work reliably in a messy industrial environment with real operators is a wholly different challenge. That’s yours.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Gain experience in setting up, calibrating, and validating hardware and software in live production environments.
• Own first‑line troubleshooting: diagnose what’s wrong, fix it, and document why it happened.
• Be part of trusted relationships with customer operators and technical contacts on‑site.
• Train customer staff to work confidently alongside our systems.
• Monitor deployed systems and catch issues before the customer does.
• Bring field intelligence back to our engineering team—you are our eyes on the ground.
• Help build the internal playbooks that make every future deployment faster and smoother.

Your profile

Who You Are:

• One of a kind student with roots in mechanical engineering, robotics, mechatronics, or equivalent.
• You’ve worked with hardware before and you’re not precious about getting your hands dirty.
• You’re comfortable with Linux and basic scripting; not afraid to dig into logs and figure things out.
• You care about what survives contact with reality, not just what works in the lab.
• Calm and systematic when things break—and things will break.
• Exceptional communicator: you can hold a technical deep‑dive and a customer conversation in the same day.
• You move fast, think clearly, and fix things without waiting to be told.
• Willing to travel within Europe for customer deployments (approx. 30–40 %).
• Fluent in English; German is a strong plus.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with ROS, robot arms, or computer vision systems.
• Exposure to industrial automation or manufacturing environments.
• Built or shipped something that had to work under real‑world conditions.
• Previous experience in a deep‑tech or hardware startup.
• Customer‑facing experience in a technical role.

Why us?

Why This Role:

• You deploy AI that physically acts in the world — not just predicts it.
• Your work runs directly on live production systems that real businesses depend on.
• Small team, extreme ownership, no abstraction layers.
• You shape a category: Physical AI for deformable materials, deployed at scale.
• Real impact is visible on the factory floor, not in dashboards.
• Munich‑based, high‑performance environment.

Setup & Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Specialty coffee at office
• Flexible working set‑up
• Regular team events, high trust, low bureaucracy

Robots will misbehave. Customers will call at the wrong moment. Edge cases will win. If you want clean problems and predictable days, this is not it. If you want to be the person who makes cutting‑edge physical AI survive contact with the real world — welcome to Sewts.
