Operations Associate

About SE3
SE3 Labs builds Spatial AI by combining 3D computer vision and large language models (LLMs). Ultimately, our AI will solve the spatial Turing test: It will be able to answer any question about 3D data that a human analyst could answer. Spatial AI will unlock tremendous value in industries like construction, smart infrastructure, smart factories, and defense. As our long-term vision, our spatial AI is a crucial building block for enabling LLM-controlled humanoid robots.

• Our team consists of computer vision experts and repeat founders, who have worked with Elon Musk at Tesla and at Nvidia, KPMG, Bosch, and Artisense. Daniel is the president of the European Computer Vision Association.

• Within our first year, we have secured mid-six-digit revenue and aim for seven-digits in 2025.

• We are a dual-use tech company selling to civil customers and the German armed forces. We will expand internationally in the next six months.
