Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

As a Soft Goods Designer, you join the early team and work directly with the founders and senior leadership. The soft side of the product is yours, from the first samples to production parts.

Key responsibilities

• Develop garments for robots. Balance durability, abrasion resistance, and serviceability against approachability, comfort, and material warmth.


• Work hands-on with materials. Knit structures, woven textiles, bonded constructions, technical laminates. Prototype on full-scale bucks. Iterate physically and digitally.


• Design the CMF strategy across the soft side of the product. Palettes, finishes, material pairings. Maintain a working library of qualified materials and suppliers.


• Engineer for manufacture. Work with knitting houses, cut-and-sew partners, and material suppliers to take prototypes through sample rounds, DFM, and into production.


• Collaborate across disciplines. Mechanical engineers on hard-soft interfaces. Industrial designers on form and surface.

Your profile

We seek builders ready to move past the demo and into real-world deployment. People who hold precision and reliability as high as invention.

Experience

• 4+ years of experience in soft goods, textile, or apparel design.

Core Skills

• Soft Goods Design: Deep expertise designing technical and performance apparel, footwear, or outerwear, or relevant experience in automotive or furniture soft trim (seating, upholstery, cut-and-sew) at production scale.




• Digital Tools: Experience with digital garment and pattern development tools.




• Design for Assembly: Experience integrating hard-soft attachment systems where textiles interface with rigid parts (e.g., snaps, overmolding, bonded fasteners).




• Also useful: Garment and pattern development in CLO 3D. Industrial knit programming, Shima Seiki or Stoll.

Mindset

• You move at startup speed and hold to the discipline of an industrial manufacturer.

Why us?

• The Team: Work alongside leadership with a proven track record of building unicorn-scale companies and defining global robotics standards.




• Smart Strategy: We operate as disciplined fast followers. Capital is timed to the deployment inflection point, avoiding early‑mover dead ends to scale fast on proven foundations.




• Resources: We are substantially internally funded and attract top‑tier investors to avoid any capital constraints for our mission.




• Historic Opportunity: Join at the dawn of a new industry comparable to the rise of the automobile. Help shape the European champion in this trillion‑dollar market.
