• Manage and coordinate external recruiting agencies for technical roles (briefing, alignment, performance tracking)
• Ensure a high-quality candidate experience throughout the process
• Track and report on hiring pipeline, conversion rates, and key metrics
• Improve and standardize technical hiring processes, evaluation frameworks, and interview materials
• Support employer branding efforts targeted at technical talent

Requirements

• 5 years of experience in technical recruitment (in-house and/or agency), ideally in robotics, AI, or deep tech environments
• Proven track record of hiring for complex technical roles (e.g. robotics engineers, ML engineers, perception, controls, systems)
• Strong understanding of technical profiles and ability to assess candidate quality at a high level
• Experience working with and managing external recruiting agencies
• Strong sourcing capabilities across technical channels (LinkedIn, GitHub, academic institutions, conferences)
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple roles and priorities simultaneously
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable operating in fast-paced environments

What You’ll Gain

• Ownership of technical hiring in a scaling robotics company
• Direct exposure to leadership and hiring strategy
• The opportunity to shape how we build high-performing engineering teams
• A fast-moving environment with high responsibility

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and technically strong team and to contribute directly to building a company that is transforming heavy construction through robotics and autonomy.
