Why join us?
Backed to grow. A recent €50M capital injection means real investment in headcount, R&D, and market expansion — not a company in maintenance mode.
Cutting-edge technology. You'll work at the intersection of AI, machine vision, and industrial automation — some of the most in-demand technical domains in the market right now.
Global footprint, local impact. With operations across five continents and active expansion in North America, there's genuine runway for career growth and visibility.
40+ years of staying power. This isn't a startup burning cash — it's a mature, profitable business with $250M+ in revenue, blue-chip clients, and long-term customer relationships.
Mission-driven work. Their systems power supply chains, improve manufacturing quality, enforce road safety, and inspect medical devices — work that has real-world consequences.
Long-term ownership. Unlike a traditional PE-backed company racing toward an exit, ownership has explicitly committed to this as a long-term strategic investment — meaning stability and a focus on sustainable growth.
