[Batch Robotics](http://www.batch-robotics.com/) is revolutionizing how robots operate in factories — not through rigid programming or teaching by human demonstration, but with smart perception and AI intelligence. We are a team of 4 motivated people with +25 years of experience in industry and robotics. Our mission is to make robots smarter and more flexible, enabling batch-size-1 automation for surface treatment economically. Our technology helps factories in Europe to remain competitive with intelligent robotics. • Mission-Driven Impact: We choose to tackle the hard, unglamorous problem of physical-world automation because the preservation of industrial resilience across Europe depends on it. • High Agency & Speed: We move too fast for corporate politics, showmasters, or heavy meeting cultures. If something is broken, you have the full mandate to fix it. • Radical Candor: We maintain a lean, transparent environment where open feedback is shared early, failure is processed quickly, and technical truth always wins. We are now looking for a Founder Associate (m/f/d) with relentless ambition, massive grit, and an entrepreneurial mindset to work directly alongside the founders. This is a high-ownership, high-agency generalist role designed as a definitive launchpad for future founders. You will get a front-row seat to building a venture-backed hard-tech company from the ground up. Tasks • Go-To-Market & Growth: Design, execute, and scale outbound experiments, validate customer discovery loops, and help sharpen our commercial positioning. • Fundraising & Strategy: Partner directly with the founders on fundraising preparation, investor pipelines, market research, and financial modeling. • Operations & Scale: Help transition early commercial momentum into repeatable internal operations, managing special logistics, procurement, and setup projects. • Talent Acquisition: Work closely with the team to identify, source, and interview early core team members as we scale our engineering and commercial pipelines. • Zero-to-One Execution: Step into any critical business gap—whether structural, operational, or commercial—and build solutions from scratch Requirements • Mindset over Manuals: You exhibit extreme agency, an urgent work ethic, and immense grit. You don't wait for a playbook; you enjoy writing it in real-time. • High-Octane Trajectory: First-rate degree from a top-tier university or ecosystem with prior experience in fast-paced setups like venture capital, consulting, or early-stage startups. • Technical & Digital Intuition: Deeply curious about AI developments, software/agentic tools, and engineering realities; comfortable working alongside top-tier ML engineers. • Comfort with Ambiguity: You thrive on uncertainty and view unstructured problems as an exciting puzzle rather than a bottleneck. • Bilingual Communicator: Exceptional, confident communication skills in both German and English to seamlessly navigate conversations with European mid-sized manufacturers and global investors. Benefits • Impact: The unique opportunity to rethink industrial automation for batch-size-1 with cutting-edge AI to maintain European manufacturing sovereignty. • Growth: Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts in a high-growth VC-funded startup. • Ownership: Direct opportunity to actively shape the company's technical direction and hardware strategy. • Environment: A modern, central workspace in Munich with a collaborative, international culture. Want to shape the future of industrial robotics? We look forward to meeting you!
