Who we are

At Jaipur Robotics, we’re building AI-powered solutions that transform the waste industry — turning complex data into automation, efficiency, and environmental impact. As a fast-growing, VC-backed clean-tech startup based in Switzerland, we work with leading waste operators across Europe and are now scaling our hardware and operations capabilities to support rapid deployment in the field.What we are looking for

We’re looking for a

hands-on, high-potential engineer

to support the development, integration, deployment, and continuous improvement of our hardware systems. This is a

high-impact, cross-functional role

at the intersection of engineering, operations, and field execution. You’ll work on

integrating hardware systems end-to-end , ensuring seamless interaction between components, and contributing to the

development of new products for emerging business units .
