Head of Hardware

Accelerating embodied AGI. The next ten years of AI will not be won in software. They will be won in the physical world: in factories, hospitals, kitchens, fields, and homes. The companies that own that data will own the century. MicroAGI is building it. We are a data research and deployment lab. Atlas captures the manual work inside Europe’s industrial champions, trains foundation models on it, and deploys the right robot onto the floor, with no teleoperation and no interruption to the line. Shift records how physical work actually happens and turns it into training-ready data. We were founded by former Formula 1 engineers from Red Bull Racing and Mercedes, together with a researcher from the Alan Turing Institute. Our $55M seed round, the largest in German history, was led by Hummingbird with Northzone, LocalGlobe, Village Global, and redalpine. We are based in Munich, with our research centre in Zürich and teams in London, New York, and Istanbul. We are now building the engineering and research teams that will take Atlas into new industries. Our models learn from data captured in the physical world, by hardware we design and build ourselves. As Head of Hardware, you own that hardware end to end: electrical, firmware, and the mechanical integration that holds it together, from the first schematic to devices running on factory floors. You lead the team that builds it. Today that is about six engineers on robotics, three on EMG sensing, and three on camera systems, plus contr
