At
SWARM Biotactics
, we’re creating
biorobots
— living, intelligent systems based on insects. Each insect carries a custom-designed backpack that enables wireless control, sensing, and secure communication.
Biorobot swarms combine the agility of biology with AI, sensors, and swarm coordination — unlocking capabilities where conventional machines fail.
We are
the only company in the world
doing this — and we’re pushing the edge of what’s possible in every domain: from biology to embedded hardware to swarm intelligence.
We’re looking for a
Hard- and Software Technician
— a hand's on engineer who can bridge
hardware, embedded systems, and experimental setups
.
If you can make systems move, sense, and communicate — this role is for you.
