Mechatronics Engineer - Embedded Systems @ Omnisent, Munich

This is an Atlantic Labs portfolio venture. Find out more about us, and other opportunities in our portfolio here.

About the Venture

The venture is pioneering scalable acoustic sensing powered by AI — transforming audio into real-time intelligence.

The team builds hardware and software specifically designed for acoustic data, capable of extracting insights from complex sound environments. Their proprietary ultra-low-power sonic devices process acoustic signals in real-time, forming the basis of a Large Acoustic Model (LAM) — a foundational AI model built to decode non-speech audio.

The company is initially focused on the manufacturing sector, particularly compressed air systems — a major and often overlooked source of energy waste. Future applications include energy, defence, space, and smart cities — areas where acoustic sensing holds massive untapped potential.

About the Role
The team are looking to hire a Mechatronic Engineer (Embedded Systems) to join their small and growing team out of Munich. In this role you will own:
