At Circus, headquartered in Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. Everything from creation to production and operation – enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology. Our foundation rests in the extensive developments of groundbreaking robotics driven by artificial intelligence, previously the missing link in achieving true autonomous food automation. This is the moment for a new status quo: Just as autonomous driving will disrupt how we build cities, organize our days, and live our lives, so will we shift our whole reality around food. Our Team is backing a paradigm shift in one of humanity’s most important sectors with the sharpest minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering and Culinary, collaborating closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize every aspect of the food service experience. Join us as we forge ahead, crafting a future where the art of cooking and the science of technology converge to create a world that thinks differently about food than it has for thousands of years—a world where food means something new. You’ll lead, build and develop the team that brings our robotics prototypes to life. Your R&D Engineers and technicians assemble, wire and configure the builds. You make sure they have the right priorities, tools, processes and support to do it well, and you step in at the bench when a problem needs your experience. You own unit assembly end to end. You also own our Munich R&D center: you run its operations, safety and infrastructure, and you coordinate space and equipment for every team on site. You’re also the link between the prototyping floor and engineering, turning what the team learns on the bench into better designs. Lead, coach and develop a team of R&D Engineers and technicians, setting priorities and planning builds so prototypes land on time Own the assembly of prototype units end to end, from mechanical build and electrical wiring to commissioning Take on the toughest mechatronic and electrical faults and build a structured troubleshooting culture across the team Partner with engineers and designers to plan builds, flag assembly and manufacturability issues early, and feed learnings back into the design Set the standard for build documentation, work instructions, tests and quality checks Own site safety across the R&D center: ESD protection, VDE-compliant working practices, accident prevention regulations (UVV/DGUV) and regular safety briefings Own the operations of the Munich R&D center: facility, tooling, equipment, parts availability, maintenance and layout, coordinated across all teams on site
