Born in Switzerland and scaling from our factory in Munich, we deliver the most demanding mission-critical parts at a speed and volume traditional suppliers cannot match. Our software learns from every part we make and carries that knowledge into every machine and every factory we add. We are building the industrial base that ensures the free world outbuilds any rival.You run your own projects end to end while we scale Factory ONE: preparing a financing round, building a process that does not exist yet, opening a new market or partnership. You work directly with our CEO and Chief of Staff, own the outcome of your workstreams and are trusted to make decisions, not just work through a to-do list.\nYou build the company that builds the factories.\nThe Role\nOperations. You own workstreams across HR, finance, logistics and compliance: running onboarding for new hires, setting up processes in our ERP, managing suppliers and the logistics that move equipment into Factory ONE.Strategic projects. You drive pieces around financing, expansion planning and partnerships: building the models, preparing materials, assessing markets and grants. You start with clearly scoped projects and take on bigger ones as you prove yourself.\nProcess building. Where no process exists, you build one. You document how things work so the next hire can run it without you.\nGap-filling. You spot the tasks nobody owns and pick them up. You fix the problem first, then report it.\nWhat We're Looking For\nStudent or recent graduate in business, economics, engineering or a related field, available for 6 months full-time. First experience in a startup, consulting, VC or banking (internship, working student job, student consulting club) is a plus.\nOperational grit. You switch between a supplier negotiation, an ERP setup and a building a deck without dropping quality, and you set up structure where there is none.\nStructured thinking. You break a problem down, analyze it and present a clear recommendation that connects to the bigger picture.\nOwnership. You do not need to be told twice. You see a problem, you fix it, then you tell us.\nPeople skills. You are professional and warm with new hires, investors, accountants, lawyers, colleagues and suppliers alike.\nLanguage: Fluent German and English. You work with German authorities, landlords and suppliers in Munich and with the team in Zurich.\nOn-site: Ability to work in person at Factory ONE in Munich, Germany.\nWhat we're not looking for\nPeople who need a fixed job description. This role changes month to month.\nPure analysts who avoid hands-on work like filing, coordinating movers, setting up accounts and chasing invoices.\nPeople who need heavy hand-holding. You will get direct feedback and support, but you are expected to figure things out.\nPeople who need fixed priorities. Ours move as fast as the factory grows.\nWhat we offer\nMission: Eliminate the industrial bottlenecks that limit human progress. You help build the company that produces defense and space hardware for the free world.\nThe Work: Real ownership from week one across finance, HR, legal, strategy and logistics, not a side project. Strong interns get the chance to grow into a full-time role.\nThe Team: You work daily with the CEO and Chief of Staff and report to the Chief of Staff. A small team where everyone ships, with direct feedback, high standards and minimal bureaucracy.\nCompensation: Standard internship salary.\nLocation: Factory ONE, Munich.\nApply\nResume: Show us what you built, shipped or fixed, not just where you studied or worked.\n Cover letter: Why this mission? Why now? Tell us about a time you owned something messy and made it work. Include your earliest start date.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3807,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["3D Printers & Additive Manufacturing","Defense Manufacturing","Manufacturing & Industrial Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T13:00:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/saeki-founders-associate-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/saeki-founders-associate-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T16:34:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24668,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3894098},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3894098"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsaeki-founders-associate-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsaeki-founders-associate-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsaeki-founders-associate-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/saeki-founders-associate-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsaeki-founders-associate-intern"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3397290}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"saeki.ch","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3397290},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
