WHO WE ARENIX is working towards a fully automated clothing production line in Europe.
We’re starting with the simplest, most challenging product: a cotton jersey T-shirt.
By the end of April 2027, our production line is expected to produce 5–10 shirts per day, with fewer than two manual interventions per shirt.
A key problem with our production line remains unsolved: holding, stretching, and securing fabric that sags while a machine sews.
If that sounds like the most interesting problem in manufacturing and robotics, it is probably exactly the right one for you.
WHAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FORThe production line and the roadmap.
The milestones are set against one target: a proof of concept by April 2027, 5–10 shirts per day.
The roadmap states milestones, blockers and gates.
We want you to challenge every aspect of it — and to build the line against those targets.
Digital Transformation: Drive Industry 4.
0 initiatives like IoT, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and automation on the factory floor.
The technical team: hiring, leading, developing.
You set the standard and you protect the focus.
Design for automation: negotiating with Product and Design which garment features stay, which ones change, and what a future style must respect to be machine-makeable.
Suppliers and partners: finding them, qualifying them, negotiating.
Supplier acquisition is a core skill here.
Finance: technical budget, cost breakdowns, CapEx versus OpEx, and estimates that survive being challenged.
You build and defend the technical part of our funding case.
Investors and public funding: technical due diligence, and the technical substance behind the grant applications our advisor is writing.
