Open Application
Company
NestAI is Europe’s fastest-growing physical AI lab. We build open, sovereign, and reliable autonomous systems and AI-enabled command capabilities for real-world operations — environments where reliability isn’t optional.
Our work spans defence, security, and other mission-critical domains where systems must earn trust through performance, not promises. At the core of what we build is an open, modular, and interoperable AI command foundation that integrates data from multiple sources — from UAV sensors and edge devices to situational intelligence platforms — and turns it into decision support and operational capability.
Rooted in Nordic engineering heritage, we focus on openness, reliability, and systems that earn trust through performance. We work with intent, iterate fast, and build technology that protects what matters most.
Role Description
We’re always on the lookout for exceptional people to join our team — thinkers, builders, and creators who want to help shape the future of physical AI.
Whether your background is in AI, robotics, embedded systems, software, data, or hardware, there may be a place for you at NestAI. We value curiosity, initiative, and the ability to solve hard problems in collaborative, fast-moving environments.
If you don’t see a position that matches your profile but believe you could contribute meaningfully to our mission, we’d love to hear from you.
Depending on your background, your work at NestAI may include:
Designing and developing intelligent systems that connect the digital and physical worlds.
Building scalable infrastructure for data, computation, or real-time interaction.
Creating models, algorithms, and architectures for perception, control, or decision-making.
Developing tools, automation, and interfaces that accelerate innovation.
Collaborating in multidisciplinary teams spanning AI, embedded systems, robotics, and design.
Exploring new technologies and turning experimental ideas into production-ready solutions.
Qualifications
We’re interested in individuals who demonstrate:
Strong technical expertise in one or more relevant domains (AI/ML, robotics, software, embedded systems, data engineering, or similar).
Proficiency in at least one major programming language (Python, C/C++, Rust, or similar).
A problem-solving mindset with a focus on experimentation and delivery.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
Curiosity, creativity, and a drive to learn and explore new frontiers.
Experience with real-world systems, applied research, or product development is a plus.
Why join NestAI
At NestAI, you’ll build meaningful, real-world technology as part of a world-class team of engineers, scientists, and experienced professionals. You’ll work on systems where reliability genuinely matters, contribute to Europe’s security and resilience, and solve problems that demand depth, trust, and craftsmanship.
If you want to build with purpose — and with leading experts in the field — you’ve come to the right place.
Perks & Benefits
We offer a growing set of practical benefits to support your work and wellbeing, day to day:
Occupational healthcare (currently provided by Mehiläinen)
Epassi Flex benefit (sports, culture, commuting, wellbeing)
Lunch benefit (25% tax-free coverage)
Regular team lunches and all-hands events
Your choice of Mac or PC
Holiday allowance (50% of holiday salary)
Phone benefit according to company policy (subscription and device)
We are continuously developing and expanding our benefits as we grow.
Practicalities
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (including SUPO, where required).
NestAI is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants based on their skills, experience, and potential.
About NestAI
Physical AI is moving from theory to reality. The systems being built today will shape how societies protect people, operate critical infrastructure, and respond under pressure for decades to come.
At NestAI, close to 100 engineers and scientists work at the intersection of software, hardware, and AI — developing autonomy, sensing, and command capabilities for mission-critical use. This isn’t demo work. It’s real systems, built for real environments.
We build in Europe, with open and interoperable architectures, so that critical capabilities can evolve over time without lock-in — and remain accountable to the societies they serve.
