Great automation runs in concert. So does a great team. These are the values we hire for and work by.

    Open standards, open code, one team across continents. We hire people who believe transparency and shared knowledge make the work better.

  2. 02

    Trust

    Honest feedback, given and received. Trust earns trust. We work with people who do good work in the open and back their teammates to do the same.

  3. 03

    Growth

    Always learning, always looking at the next problem. We hire those who thrive in an environment that encourages evolution in both technology and skills.

  4. 04

    Wellbeing

    We look for people who take care of themselves, their teammates, and the long arc of the work.

  5. 05

    Results

    The best physical AI is built on rigor and accountability. We prioritize people who finish what they start, ship what they build, and own the outcome.

Your start at Idealworks

However far along you are, there's a way in. And always room to go further.

Specialists

For people with experience who want work that pushes limits and makes a difference. You'll take on meaningful projects and build alongside people who've spent their careers in robotics, AI, and industrial automation.

Graduates

For people early in their career with a lot of drive. You'll be challenged, receive responsibility early, and have the support and mentorship to grow fast.

Students

For students who want to do work that becomes something real. Working-student roles, internships and thesis projects with hands on real systems, learning from people who love what they do. Some of our best colleagues started here.

"My day is coding, testing, and troubleshooting robots but it's also the people on the other side of those problems. We balance collaboration and independence, sharing ideas and supporting each other while owning our own work."

"Being with the company since building the first robot, it was always this vision into the future that fuelled us. Now we're balancing the fire of innovation with evolving production realities, building on our legacy to push what's possible."

Anthony

Manager · Research & Engineering

"We move fast but we never sacrifice quality for speed, or let perfectionism slow us down. It's a delicate balance, and it's how we stay sharp and keep delivering."
