Company Description

Factories today run on 20th-century software in a 21st-century world. We think that’s broken.

At Xelerit, we’re fixing this with Xelerit ADE, an Agentic Development Environment where AI agents configure, program, and validate automation systems end-to-end. We’re building the backbone of Industry 4.0, and the next European robotics unicorn.


Open Roles

We’re hiring for two positions to expand our founding team:


1. AI Engineer:

You will:

  • Build AI-driven planning, reasoning, and code-generation systems.
  • Connect LLMs with simulation environments for code validation.
  • Work full-stack, from backend to agent orchestration.

You bring:

  • MSc in CS, Robotics, or related.
  • Experience with LLMs, NLP and simulations like Isaac Gym.
  • Full-stack skills and a hacker mindset.


2. Automation Engineer:

You will:

  • Translate AI strategies into robust robotics control logic.
  • Design and optimize SFCs and Behavior Trees.
  • Integrate and test across industrial robots and PLCs.

You bring:

  • Strong background in industrial robotics programming.
  • 2+ years hands-on experience with automation hardware.
  • Familiarity with SFCs and Behavior Trees.


What are we looking for:

  • People who have founded (or tried to found) a company.
  • Unreasonable hunger to build something massive.


Join Xelerit to work with a world-class ETH team, own your impact from day one, and help build the next European robotics unicorn.


This is a full-time on-site role located in Zurich
