About us
At Telekinesis, we’re on a mission to revolutionize robotics by making robots an integral part of everyday life worldwide. We envision a near future where robots are as common as smartphones, seamlessly integrating into factories, offices, and—most importantly—homes.
To bring this vision to life, we’re building a category-leading cloud platform that enables intuitive programming for all types of robots—industrial, mobile, drones, and humanoids. Powered by novel AI technologies, our platform allows robots to autonomously learn from human data, becoming more intelligent and adaptive with every interaction. Starting in the automotive industry, we’re empowering factory workers to deploy industrial robots without prior expertise through our no-code platform.
At our core, we’re driven by relentless innovation, tackling challenges others deem impossible and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics. We’re passionate, resilient, and unafraid of the hard work it takes to turn bold ideas into reality. This journey isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you share our vision and thrive on breaking barriers, you belong here.
We’re building a world-class team of roboticists, computer vision experts, and sales leaders, all driven by a shared passion for shaping the future of robotics. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Sales Engineer to join our team to sell our product to manufacturing companies across Germany.
