We fixed that. Our robots see, grip and handle textiles, towels and cables the way humans do. They run in real production across Europe, and the US is next. Behind every robot that survives contact with reality there’s a team: software and hardware engineers, field technicians, deployment crews, ten nationalities and counting. ### About the Role At our stage, every hire changes the company. The people we bring in over the next year will decide how far sewts goes. Someone has to find them, win them over, sign them and make sure they want to stay. Our engineers build the robot’s brain and its body. You build the backbone of the team. That means recruiting, people management and HR admin: the work that keeps everything else standing. You work directly with the founders, own people end to end and shape what it feels like to work at sewts. That someone is you. ### What You’ll Actually Do - Recruiting, end to end: Own our hiring in Personio: job ads (including the fun names), sourcing, screening, interview scheduling, feedback and follow-ups. No candidate waits a week for an answer. - Hire for heads and hands: Run a process for a perception engineer, a field technician who travels across Europe and an operations intern with the same confidence. You know what great looks like for each. - People management: Be the go-to person for everyone on the team. Together with the founders, you design how we run feedback, performance conversations and development, and you handle the difficult conversations too. - Payroll preparation: Prepare monthly payroll. That covers hours, travel days, absences, bonuses and changes. Everyone gets paid correctly, on time, every time. - HR admin: Employee records, contracts, references, sick notes, VSOP paperwork, visas and work permits for international hires. Accurate, secure and reliable in preparation for the monthly payroll. - HR controlling: Keep headcount, personnel costs and hiring plans under control. Give the founders the numbers they need, such as time-to-hire, pipeline health and budget vs. actual. - Team & culture: Offsites, team events, the office. You make sure a team split between the Munich workshop and customer sites across Europe still feels like one team. - Automate the boring stuff: Find the repetitive work in People and automate it instead of just documenting it. ### Your profile ### Who You Are - Ideally 2+ years in HR, People Operations or an HR Generalist role at a startup, scale-up or tech/industrial company - Hands-on experience preparing German payroll, and solid knowledge of German employment law - Recruiting experience with an ATS (Personio is a plus) - Highly organised, with real attention to detail - A communicator who can handle a senior engineering candidate, a field technician calling from a customer site and a founder in the same afternoon - You lead with empathy and handle confidential information with discretion - You build the process when there isn’t one yet - AI-native: you already use AI tools to work faster - Fluent in English – German is a plus - Based in Munich, or ready to move. This role is in-person ### Nice to Have - Experience in software, robotics, automation - Experience building employer initiative programs - Employer branding and a feel for LinkedIn - An additional European language ### Why us? ### Why This Role - You build it, you don’t inherit it: You shape People at sewts from the ground up, with no legacy processes to fight. - Real impact, visible fast: Every hire you make ends up working shoulder to shoulder with robots in real factories. - Direct line to the founders: Decisions take days, not quarters. - Your role grows with us: As the team scales, so does your scope. ### Setup & Benefits ### Reality Check ### Your Talent Partner noah.samer@sewts.de --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
