Operations

At Orbem, pay bands are transparent. Every role sits within a job level with a defined base salary range, benchmarked against market data and applied company-wide.

Total compensation is base salary plus equity in the form of stock options. The two are linked: more base means less equity, and the reverse. You choose where you land between them.

Base salary: tied to your job level, benchmarked, consistent company-wide

Equity (ESOP): purchase shares at a fixed price and share in Orbem's growth as it scales

We see the potential inside everything and everyone. Starting with you.

Orbem uses AI to industrialize MRI, delivering non-invasive insight into everything from fruits to eggs to the human body. We are transforming what is becoming the world's largest biological dataset into actionable intelligence to reduce waste, increase quality, and accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and healthier future.

Headquartered and founded in Munich, Germany, with an office now in Houston, Texas, our world‑class team is scaling inside‑out technology to transform how humanity sees and understands biological matter.

Help us see what's possible. Join us.

You will own how Orbem shows up at customer sites — installing, servicing, and maintaining multi-million-euro imaging systems that sit at the heart of our customers’ production lines. When our systems run, our customers run. When they don’t, the cost is measured in lost production days.
Field Operations is where our technology meets reality, and you own that interface.

Field Operations spans Europe and the US, with regional teams on both sides of the Atlantic. A lot has already been built: dedicated Field Engineers and Project Managers, regional leadership, and real investment in SOPs, planning, and tooling. The next step is maturity — turning what exists into an operation that runs consistently across every site, every partner, and every geography, and that scales without depending on individual heroics.

You inherit that and the mandate to shape what comes next. We are expanding fast into new verticals and geographies, and installation and service quality is one of the few things that can either unlock or throttle that growth. This is a role for someone equally at home setting the operating model and being close to the work itself — credible with a customer's engineers and with our executive team on the same day — and who is unwilling to let the same problem happen twice.
