2630502 Munich (Factory ONE) Commercial Permanent Employee Business Operations - Factory ONE SAEKI - Manufacturing at software speed Europe's defense industrial base can't respond at the speed modern conflict demands. Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories - the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.

We've just opened Factory ONE in Munich: a 8,000 m² production facility with 5-axis CNCs, industrial robots, and large-scale 3D printers, shipping hardware to defense and space customers. The factory works. Now we need to build the operating layer around it - the systems, processes, and discipline that let us scale from Factory ONE to Factory N without losing the speed that got us here.

]]> The Role You'll be the first dedicated business operations hire, working directly with Andrea (CEO) and Nic (Chief of Staff) to turn ramp-up improvisation into systems that scale. This is a generalist BizOps role with real ownership: you own the operational backbone of a company shipping mission-critical hardware.

Concretely, that means you'll own the boring-but-essential infrastructure - vendor contracts, financial operations, German compliance, people ops - and drive the projects that determine whether we ramp cleanly or stall. When something needs a process, you build it. When something needs a decision, you frame it for Andrea or Nic and push it through.

This is not a role with a clean job description. The first six months are about figuring out what SAEKI needs operationally and building it.

Concretely, you'll own:

  • Operational systems and playbooks. We're at ramp-up. There's no handbook — you'll write one. The processes you put in place are what we'll scale on as we move toward Factory TWO.
  • Vendor, contract, and financial operations. Vendor selection, contracts, procurement, budget tracking, Steuerberater liaison. You're the person who catches the line item nobody else catches.
  • People ops and German compliance. HR and payroll coordination (contracts, Lohnabrechnung liaison, Krankenkasse, Elternzeit, work permits), plus the full Behördengang stack (Gewerbeamt, Finanzamt, Berufsgenossenschaft). Table stakes — not the point of the role, but you need to run it.
  • Site, customer, and compliance operations. Hosting defense and space customers, coordinating shipments, visitor management, compliance reporting (HSE, audit trails, policy documentation). Nothing classified; plenty of disciplined.
  • CEO and CoS right hand. Acting as the operational extension of Andrea and Nic. Taking work off their plate, surfacing decisions cleanly, and driving projects to completion across whatever the company needs that week.

]]> What We're Looking For
  • Operator's track record. You've run business operations or a strong generalist function at a fast-moving company - startup BizOps, founding ops at Series A/B, consulting + operator combo, or you've been the chief-of-staff-style force multiplier somewhere serious. We're open on seniority: two years of intense ramp-up experience beats ten years of process maintenance.
  • German admin fluency. You've navigated the German bureaucratic landscape before - HR, payroll, Behördengänge, vendor contracts. You know which forms matter and which ones don't. This is non-negotiable - you'll be the person dealing with German authorities daily.
  • Financial and analytical fluency. Comfortable in spreadsheets, comfortable reading contracts, comfortable pushing back on a vendor quote. You don't need to be a CFO, but you need to be the person who catches the line item nobody else caught.
  • Startup operator instinct. Comfortable with ambiguity, missing handbooks, and the reality that you'll define the role as you do it. "Not my job" isn't in your vocabulary during ramp-up.
  • Owner's mindset. You spot the gap, close it, and tell Andrea or Nic after the fact. You don't need to be told twice.
  • Discretion. You'll see sensitive material - HR, finance, customers, site security. Confidentiality is must.
  • Language. Fluent German (mandatory). Strong English (company language).
  • Location. Munich, on-site at Factory ONE.
    • ]]>     What we're not looking for
  • Pure analysts who want a clean strategy seat. We build, we ship, we deal with the German admin grind. If you can't get your hands dirty alongside the analytical work, this isn't the role.
  • People who need a detailed job description to know what to do next. The role will flex with what the company needs that quarter.
  • Process maintainers. We're building from scratch. We need someone who designs the playbook, not someone who runs an existing one.
  • "That's how we've always done it" thinkers.
    • ]]>     What we offer
  • Mission. Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. The work you do keeps the rest of the company shipping mission-critical hardware for defense and space.
  • Direct impact. You work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO and Chief of Staff. What you build, fix, or flag reaches the top of the company same-day.
  • The Environment. A 5,000 m² state-of-the-art facility — 5-axis CNCs, industrial robots, large-scale 3D printers. Not a cubicle in sight.
  • The Team. "Special Forces" model. Everyone senior, everyone ships. No politics, no bureaucracy. Direct feedback, high standards.
  • Compensation. competitive base depending on experience, plus meaningful equity.
  • Location. Factory ONE in Munich.

    You'll be the production backbone of Factory ONE — the machinist who takes proven processes and executes them at the highest quality, repeatability, and throughput. Once our Part Zero Machinists have figured out how to make a component, you're the one who runs it — holding tight tolerances part after part, inside production cells that blend manual skill with robotic automation.

    ]]>     The Role As a CNC Machinist at Factory ONE, you will operate and optimize our fleet of 5-axis machining centers in production. You'll work from established CAM programs and setup documentation to produce aerospace-grade components at volume — loading jobs, verifying setups, monitoring cuts, and ensuring every part meets spec. You'll work alongside robotic tending systems and automated workflows, acting as the quality-critical human in the loop who catches what sensors miss and keeps production moving.


    This isn't a traditional job shop. You'll operate in a software-driven factory where machine data flows into AI systems in real time — and your feedback on what's actually happening at the spindle is essential to making those systems smarter.


    Based on-site at Factory ONE in Munich.

    ]]>     What We're Looking For

  • 3–5+ years of experience operating multi-axis CNC machining centers, ideally 5-axis. You've run production — not just one-offs.

  • Setup Execution: You can independently set up machines from documented process sheets — loading tools, setting work offsets, verifying programs, and running first-off parts to confirm the setup is dialed in.

  • Production Discipline: Experience running repeat jobs to tight tolerances with consistent quality. You understand SPC, in-process checks, and what it takes to hold spec over a batch — not just on the first part.

  • Material Knowledge: Experience machining aerospace metals — aluminum, titanium, Inconel, or stainless steel. You understand how materials behave under the tool and can spot trouble before it becomes scrap.

  • Blueprint Reading: Confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings with GD&T callouts. You know what the tolerances mean and how to measure them.

  • Measurement Skills: Proficient with precision measurement tools — micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and ideally basic CMM operation.

  • Problem Solving: When a tool chatters, a dimension drifts, or a finish isn't right, you diagnose and fix it — adjusting feeds, speeds, or tooling as needed. You escalate clearly when something needs re-programming rather than patching around it.

  • Automation Comfort: You'll work alongside robotic loading systems and software-driven workflows. You don't need to program them — but you need to be comfortable operating in that environment and flagging issues to the automation team.

  • Location: Based in Munich (on-site at Factory ONE).

  • Language: Fluent in German; English proficiency is a plus.

    • ]]>     What we're not looking for

  • Button-pushers who only load parts and press cycle start. We need machinists who think critically about every setup and every cut.

  • People who are resistant to technology. You'll work in a factory where robots, software, and AI are deeply integrated into daily operations.

  • Operators unwilling to share what they see. Your observations at the machine feed directly into the systems we're building. If you prefer to keep knowledge to yourself, this isn't the right shop.

    • ]]>     What we offer

  • Mission: Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. Your work directly enables the production of mission-critical hardware for defense and space.

  • The Environment: Access to a 5,000m² state-of-the-art facility featuring 5-axis CNCs, industrial robots, and large-scale 3D printers. Your work runs on real hardware from day one.

SAEKI baut das Betriebssystem für autonome Fabriken — die Infrastruktur, die es Europa ermöglicht, einsatzkritische Komponenten in Software-Geschwindigkeit zu fertigen.

    Du bist das produktionstechnische Rückgrat von Factory ONE — der Zerspaner, der erprobte Prozesse in höchster Qualität, Wiederholbarkeit und Stückzahl umsetzt. Sobald unsere Part-Zero-Zerspaner herausgefunden haben, wie eine Komponente gefertigt wird, bist du derjenige, der sie laufen lässt — mit engen Toleranzen, Teil für Teil, in Fertigungszellen, die handwerkliches Können mit robotergestützter Automatisierung verbinden.

  • Messtechnik: Sicherer Umgang mit Präzisionsmessmitteln — Mikrometer, Messschieber, Höhenmessgeräte und idealerweise Grundkenntnisse in der KMG-Bedienung.
  • Problemlösungskompetenz: Wenn ein Werkzeug rattert, ein Maß wegläuft oder die Oberfläche nicht passt, diagnostizierst und behebst du das — Vorschub, Drehzahl oder Werkzeug werden entsprechend angepasst. Du eskalierst klar, wenn etwas neu programmiert werden muss, statt Workarounds zu basteln.
  • Automatisierungsaffinität: Du arbeitest mit robotergestützten Beladesystemen und softwaregetriebenen Abläufen. Du musst sie nicht programmieren können — aber du musst dich in diesem Umfeld wohlfühlen und dem Automatisierungsteam klar Rückmeldung geben.

    We've opened Factory ONE in Munich, and we're shipping hardware to defense and space customers. Andrea (CEO) and Nic (Chief of Staff) split their time between our Zurich HQ and Munich - when they're at Factory ONE, every hour matters, and the site has to keep running between their visits. We're hiring the person who makes that work.

    ]]>     The Role You'll work for Nic (Chief of Staff) and Andrea (CEO) as the executive operations lead at Factory ONE. You're the operational right hand of management on-site - making sure their time at the factory goes to the highest-leverage thing, taking execution off their plate, and keeping the site running smoothly between their visits. This is the senior EA / executive operations role for someone who wants the trajectory toward Head of People, Head of Operations, or a Factory ONE leadership track - not someone who wants to manage a calendar in peace.

    You'll own the operating cadence of management when they're at Factory ONE: scheduling, customer hosting in Munich, follow-through on commitments made on-site. You'll also own the day-to-day of running a factory full of people - onboarding, German admin, vendor relationships, the site itself - because supporting management at Factory ONE and running the workplace function are the same job at this stage.

    On any given week you might be prepping a defense customer visit to Factory ONE, walking a new hire through their Anmeldung, coordinating with the Steuerberater, chasing down a vendor escalation Nic flagged, or making sure the team offsite actually happens.

    Concretely, you'll own:

    • Management's operating cadence at Factory ONE. Scheduling, meeting prep, travel logistics between Zurich and Munich, decision follow-through on commitments made on-site. You don't just schedule — you make sure every meeting is set up to land, every commitment is tracked, and nothing falls through.
    • High-stakes hosting in Munich. Defense and space customers at the factory. Government delegations. Visitor logistics handled to a standard that matches the seriousness of who we're hosting.
    • Project drive-throughs. Andrea and Nic will hand you projects at Factory ONE that don't fit anyone else's lane — a hire that needs to close, an offsite that needs to happen, a vendor that's not delivering, a customer issue that needs personal attention. You take it, drive it, close it.
    • Factory ONE workplace and site operations. Factory ONE is your house. You make sure it's a place people want to work and things arrive on time — supplies, shipping, travel, catering, events, the operational fabric of the building.
    • German admin and people ops for Factory ONE. HR and payroll coordination (onboarding, contracts, Lohnabrechnung liaison, Krankenkasse, Elternzeit, work permits), plus dealings with Gewerbeamt, Finanzamt, Berufsgenossenschaft. You know the Behördengänge cold, or you learn them fast.

    ]]>     What We're Looking For
  • Track record of running a serious principal's office. You've been the right hand to a CEO, founder, or senior executive at a company that ships hard things. You know what it feels like when your principal's hour is misallocated, and you know how to fix it.
  • Owner's mindset. You don't wait to be told. You see the gap, close it, and report after the fact.
  • German admin fluency. You've navigated the German bureaucratic landscape — HR, payroll, Behördengänge, vendor contracts. You know which forms matter and which ones don't. Non-negotiable.
  • Multi-stream organizational firepower. You run five workstreams in parallel without dropping any of them. When Andrea or Nic asks where something is, you know — or you have the answer in five minutes.
  • Communication chops. Clear, concise, professional. You can write a calm email to the Finanzamt and a polished one to a defense customer in the same hour.
  • Startup operator instinct. Comfortable with ambiguity, missing handbooks, and the reality that this role will flex with what the company needs that quarter.

You have personally led or been deeply embedded in at least one greenfield factory deployment or major production line installation.
  • Factory Layout and Material Flow Mastery: You think in terms of value streams, takt times, and material flow. You can design a factory layout that optimizes for throughput, flexibility, and automation — and you know how to iterate it as requirements change.
  • Equipment Integration: Hands-on experience specifying, procuring, installing, and commissioning capital equipment — CNC machines, industrial robots, conveyor systems, 3D printers, or similar. You understand foundations, utilities (power, compressed air, cooling), and the mechanical/electrical interfaces required to bring machines online.
  • Automation Deployment: Deep understanding of how to deploy and integrate automated production systems — robotic workcells, automated material handling, vision systems, and PLC-controlled infrastructure. You don't need to write PLC code, but you must understand how automated systems fit together at a systems level.
  • Program Management Rigor: You manage complex, multi-vendor buildout schedules with dozens of parallel workstreams. You are relentless about timelines, dependencies, and risk mitigation.
  • Vendor and Contractor Management: Experience managing relationships with machine tool OEMs, system integrators, construction contractors, and utility providers. You know how to hold vendors accountable and negotiate effectively.
  • Lean / Industrial Engineering Foundations: Strong grounding in lean manufacturing principles, line balancing, ergonomics, and continuous improvement. You design factories that are efficient from day one, not just functional.
  • Software-Driven Mindset: You are energized by the idea of a software-defined factory. You understand that the physical layout must be designed hand-in-hand with the digital infrastructure — sensors, networking, edge compute, and data collection are first-class citizens in your factory plans.

  • Engineers who treat automation and IT infrastructure as an afterthought to be "added later." At SAEKI, digital and physical infrastructure are designed together from the start.
  • Executives who need a large support team before they can be effective. You will start lean and build the team as the deployment scales.

Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories — the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.


    You'll be the person who figures out how to make a part before anyone — or anything — else does. At SAEKI, "Part Zero" is the first physical proof that a component can be manufactured. Your job is to take an engineering drawing, devise the manufacturing strategy, write the CAM program, set up the machine, and cut the first good part. Once you've proven it out, your process becomes the foundation that our automation systems scale.

    ]]>     The Role As a Part Zero Machinist at Factory ONE, you are the bridge between engineering intent and proven manufacturing reality. You'll receive new part geometries — often complex, often in demanding materials — and own the full journey from CAM programming through first-article approval. You'll select tooling, define workholding strategies, write and optimize multi-axis toolpaths, set up the machine, and run the first part. Then you'll document everything so the process can be handed off to our automated production cells.


    Based on-site at Factory ONE in Munich.

    ]]>     What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of CNC machining experience, with significant time spent programming and proving out new parts — not just running established jobs.

  • CAM Programming: Advanced proficiency in HyperMill. You can take a STEP file and a drawing and produce a complete, collision-checked, multi-axis program.

  • Process Engineering Mindset: You think in terms of manufacturing strategy — fixturing concepts, operation sequencing, datum schemes, and how to hold tolerance across multiple setups. You see the full process before you cut anything.

  • 5-Axis Mastery: Deep experience with simultaneous 5-axis machining. You understand tool-axis control, lead/lag angles, and how to use the full kinematic envelope of a machine.

  • Material Expertise: Proven track record machining aerospace-grade materials — titanium, Inconel, high-strength aluminum, stainless steel. You know the feeds, the speeds, and the failure modes.

  • Tooling & Workholding: Strong knowledge of cutting tool selection, custom fixture design, and creative workholding solutions for complex geometries and thin-walled structures.

  • First-Article Discipline: Experience with first-article inspection processes (AS9102 or equivalent). You understand what it takes to prove a part meets spec — and you document your process so others can repeat it.

  • Handoff to Automation: Willingness and ability to document your process — tooling lists, setup sheets, parameter sets, inspection plans — in a way that enables automated or semi-automated production. Your tribal knowledge doesn't stay in your head.

  • Location: Based in Munich (on-site at Factory ONE).

  • Language: Fluent in German; English proficiency is a plus.

    • ]]>     What we're not looking for

  • Production operators who run the same job on repeat. This role is about solving a new manufacturing puzzle every day.

  • Programmers who only work in CAM and never touch the machine.

    You'll own the intelligence layer that makes autonomous manufacturing possible: the perception engine that understands geometry, the reasoning engine that plans production, and the algorithms that capture decades of manufacturing expertise in code. Your work directly determines whether a part can go from CAD upload to machine queue without human intervention.]]>     The Role
    Based at our HQ in Zurich (Oerlikon), you'll lead development of the intelligence layers that turn raw geometry into execution-ready manufacturing plans — spanning computational geometry, ML/AI, and manufacturing systems integration.]]>     What We're Looking For
    • 5–7+ years of experience as a software engineer with a track record in ML/AI systems, computational geometry, or complex algorithmic software that operates under real-world constraints.
    • Advanced Academic Depth: MSc/PhD or equivalent research depth in Computer Science, Robotics, or AI (ideally ETH Zurich, EPFL, TUM, or similar).
    • Algorithmic Ownership: You have architected and shipped systems where the logic was the product, algorithms that solve hard combinatorial or geometric problems.
    • Team Construction: Experience recruiting and mentoring high-performance engineering teams. You know how to identify and attract elite technical talent.
    • High-Tempo Execution: You thrive in high-stakes environments and possess a strong sense of urgency. You lead by example and are willing to engage directly with hardware integration challenges.
    • Industrial Grit: You are comfortable spending time on the production floor in Germany to ensure your algorithms survive the reality of manufacturing.
    • On-site: Ability to work in-person at our HQ in Zurich, Switzerland.
    ]]>     What we're not looking for
  • Pure researchers who haven't shipped production systems.
  • Engineers who need a fully defined spec before they start building. You define the spec.
  • Managers who've stopped writing code.
  • People uncomfortable with ambiguity. Our problem space is being defined as we build it.
    • ]]>     What we offer
  • Mission: Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. Your work directly enables the production of mission-critical hardware for defense and space.
  • Total Ownership: High-stakes autonomy in your domain. You own both the problems and the solutions — and have the authority to execute.
  • The Environment: Access to a 5,000m² state-of-the-art facility featuring 5-axis CNCs, Metal 3D-printers and more. Your work runs on real hardware from day one.
  • The Team: "Special Forces" model. Everyone senior, everyone ships. No politics, no bureaucracy. Direct feedback, high standards.
  • Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity.
  • Location: Zurich HQ

  • Resume: Focus on systems you've built and owned.
  • GitHub/Portfolio: Show us work you're proud of — code, machines, or production systems.

Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories — the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.

    Building a factory at this pace only works if the ground underneath it is solid. You'll be the person who makes sure it is. As Workplace Coordinator at Factory ONE, you own the operational spine that keeps the rest of the company moving — so engineers can engineer, machinists can machine, and the CEO doesn't end up on the phone with the Finanzamt.

    ]]>     The Role You'll work hand-in-hand with Andrea (CEO) and Nic (Chief of Staff) to get Factory ONE from ramp-up into steady operation. That means everything from onboarding a new hire's first day, to coordinating with our Steuerberater, to keeping visitor logs tight for our defense customers, to figuring out why the coffee machine stopped working again.

    This is a generalist role by design. You're the person who sees what needs doing and does it — or finds the right person and makes sure it gets done. On any given week you might be drafting a contract amendment, walking a new hire through their Anmeldung, coordinating a shipment to a customer site, prepping a compliance report, or organizing an offsite.

    Based on-site at Factory ONE in Munich.

    What you'll own
    • German admin, end-to-end: HR and payroll coordination (onboarding, contracts, Lohnabrechnung liaison, Krankenkasse, Elternzeit, work permits), dealings with Gewerbeamt, Finanzamt, Berufsgenossenschaft, and the full spectrum of Behördengänge that come with running a factory in Germany.
    • Facility & logistics: Keeping Factory ONE a place where people want to work and things arrive on time. Office supplies, shipping coordination, travel booking, visitor logistics, catering, events, and everything in between.
    • Compliance & site security support: Owning the day-to-day of physical site security — visitor management, access control, documentation — and supporting Nic and Andrea on internal compliance reporting (HSE, policy documentation, audit trails). Nothing classified; plenty of disciplined.
    • CEO / CoS right hand: Acting as the operational extension of Andrea and Nic. Taking admin off their plate so they can focus on scaling the company, while flagging clearly when something needs their decision.
    • Building the playbook: We're at the ramp-up phase. You won't inherit a handbook — you'll write one. The processes you put in place now are what we'll scale on.
    ]]>     What We're Looking For
  • German admin fluency: You've navigated the German bureaucratic landscape before — HR, payroll, Behördengänge, vendor contracts. You know which forms matter and which ones don't, and you know who to call when you don't know.
  • Startup operator instinct: You're comfortable with ambiguity, missing handbooks, and the reality that you'll define the role as you do it. "Not my job" isn't in your vocabulary during ramp-up.
  • Organizational firepower: You run multiple workstreams in parallel without dropping the ball. When someone asks where something is, you know — or you'll have the answer in five minutes.
  • Discretion and trust: You'll see sensitive material — HR, finance, customers, site security. We need someone who treats confidentiality as a reflex, not a policy.
  • Owner's mindset: You don't need to be told twice. You spot the gap, close it, and tell Andrea or Nic after the fact.
  • Communication skills: Clear, concise, and professional in writing and in person — with employees, vendors, customers, and authorities alike.
  • Location: Based in Munich (on-site at Factory ONE).
  • Language: Fluent in German (mandatory — you'll be dealing with German authorities, employees, and vendors daily). Strong English required (company language is English; CEO and CoS primarily operate in English).

    • Open on seniority. Whether you've been doing this for two years or ten, if you can show us the operational mess you've untangled, we want to talk.

    ]]>     What we're not looking for
  • People who need a detailed job description to know what to do next. The role will flex with what the company needs.
  • Pure execution specialists who can't zoom out. You'll need to spot the structural issues, not just the symptoms.
  • "That's how we've always done it" thinkers. We're building something new; we need someone willing to build the processes that match.
    • ]]>     What we offer
  • Mission: Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. The work you do keeps the rest of the company shipping mission-critical hardware for defense and space.
  • Direct impact: You work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO and Chief of Staff. What you build, fix, or flag reaches the top of the company same-day.
  • The Environment: A 5,000 m² state-of-the-art facility featuring 5-axis CNCs, industrial robots, and large-scale 3D printers. Not a cubicle in sight — this is a real factory.
  • The Team: "Special Forces" model. Everyone senior, everyone ships. No politics, no bureaucracy. Direct feedback, high standards.
  • Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity.
  • Location: Factory ONE in Munich.
    • ]]>     Apply
  • Resume: Show us the operational complexity you've handled — the messier, the better.
  • Cover letter: Why this mission? Why now? And: tell us about a time something was broken and you fixed it before anyone asked you to.
