mimic is an early-stage deep tech robotics & AI start-up based in Zurich and supported by leading VCs.

Requirements:
- Good hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.
- High attention to detail.
- Tolerance for repetitive work.
- High motivation and problem-solving ability.
- Capable of communicating clearly and collaborating in a team.
