Jobbeschreibung

We’re looking for an outstanding individual with a background in robotics or adjacent fields to join FoodLabs for a summer internship.

This role is designed for PhD students — and exceptional Master’s students — who want to explore how robotics, accelerated by recent advances in AI, is being applied to real‑world problems. The focus: understanding where the next generation of robotics companies will emerge, particularly in the food value chain.

You’ll spend the summer working closely with our investment team, exploring new domains, identifying emerging trends, and engaging with early‑stage startups and researchers across Europe and beyond.

This is not about preparing pitch decks or running cap tables. It’s an opportunity to step outside the academic bubble, gain exposure to venture capital, and develop a point of view on how technical progress turns into company formation.

What You’ll Work On

• Research emerging applications of robotics across the food value chain — from agriculture to manufacturing
• Explore how AI is reshaping robotics and enabling new capabilities and business models
• Identify early‑stage teams, technologies, and trends that are shaping the next wave of robotics innovation
• Support the investment team with company analysis, market mapping, and internal research projects
• Conduct founder and expert conversations to validate insights and gather first‑hand perspectives

What We’re Looking For

• Current PhD or advanced Master’s student in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields
• Strong academic track record from a leading university, institute, or research chair
• Broad understanding of the robotics landscape and keen interest in AI‑driven applications
• Analytical mindset and ability to go deep quickly in unfamiliar domains
• Clear communicator, comfortable with both technical detail and big‑picture thinking

Why This Role

• Work at the intersection of deep tech, venture capital, and real‑world application
• Learn how VCs evaluate companies, build conviction, and form theses
• Gain exposure to one of the most important and fast‑moving frontiers in robotics
• Build relationships with founders, investors, and researchers in the ecosystem
• Use this experience as a springboard — whether into venture, startups, or back to research with sharper context
