Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The engineer will assemble, integrate, and test robotic production systems in the NYC lab and perform on-site installation, commissioning, and training at customer facilities. They will also provide ongoing technical support and act as the primary point of contact for customer-facing operations.
Candidates must have an associate's or bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent vocational qualification with hands-on experience in industrial machinery or robotics. Strong troubleshooting skills, the ability to read technical drawings, and a willingness to travel internationally are essential.
About Silana
Silana is an early-stage start-up that builds automated production systems for the garment industry. Our machines integrate robotic manipulation, computer vision, AI, industrial controls, and embedded compute to automate sewing and assembly operations that are still performed manually in most of the world .We're preparing to ship our first machines to customer sites, and we're looking for the person who will build, test, and commission them.
This is a hybrid technician / field engineer role. Most of the time, you'll work hands-on in our New York City Lab: assembling machines, integrating subsystems, running tests, and making sure everything we ship works. When a machine goes to a customer, you go with it, installing, commissioning, and supporting it on-site until it runs reliably. Our first deployment is in Germany, and you'll be a core part of that team on the ground.
As we deploy more machines across Europe and the US, this role grows with the fleet: more commissioning trips, more customer-facing responsibility, and the chance to shape how Silana does field service from day one.
You'll be employee-level early at a company shipping real machines to real factories. You'll see the full lifecycle, from parts in the Lab in NYC to a running system on a customer's production floor - and you'll help define how we build, test, and deploy for years to come.
Revolutionizing the Fashion Industry with Deep Tech Robotics
We are silana – automated fashion production. We founded this robotics startup to fully automate the production process in the fashion industry. Currently, fashion is mainly produced in Southeast Asia & (newly) in African Countries, which leads to tremendous lead times, an incredible CO2-emission through broad transportation, and slave-like working conditions. This industry faces issues in the whole tripple-bottom-line.
