mimic robotics is an early-stage deep tech robotics & AI start-up based in Zurich and supported by leading VCs. We give industry workers a helping hand for tedious manual labor tasks and mitigate labor shortages with a versatile automation platform. Our automation solutions, driven by dexterous robotic hands and cutting-edge AI trained on human observations, bring a new level of AI embodiment to the real world.
As an Embedded Systems Engineer (Embodied AI), you will drive our development of data collection devices and methods. You will shape all aspects of developing a full-stack data collection solution, from conceptualization to design and potentially production. You will also be responsible for data collection efforts at customer sites, assisting with customer-specific implementations, and developing a customer-ready product. As an early employee, you will take responsibility from day one and work closely with the founders and the rest of the team.
