Founding Engineer - Application & Deployment Lead

Building the physical foundation at Anton Robotics We're an early-stage robotics startup backed by €1M+ in pre-seed funding from a leading European VC. Our founder team combines robotics experience from Fraunhofer IPA, TUM MIRMI and industrial automation companies with strategy & Go-to-market experience from Google, Amazon, McKinsey & BCG. Our mission is to build the leading integration company for the autonomous manufacturing revolution. We believe robots will fundamentally reshape manufacturing over the coming decade, but realizing this vision requires bridging the gap between frontier research and production-ready automation. We are looking for an ambitious founding engineer to join our team super early, who wants to deploy robotic automation solutions at scale and build a strong team for the deployment of our products at scale. If you have a manufacturing background, a builders mindest and want to join a startup as part of the founding team, we would love to hear from you!
