This role is located in Munich, Germany. TULIP is a hybrid work environment and we are in the office 3+ days/per week.

The opportunity in DACH for TULIP
DACH is the heart of global manufacturing. Germany is Europe's largest industrial economy and the birthplace of Industrie 4.0. Switzerland is a global centre for pharma, life sciences and precision manufacturing. Austria is a strong base in automotive, machinery, metals and semiconductors. The region is also home to many of the world's "Hidden Champions", mid-sized companies that lead global niche markets. Today, these companies face similar pressures: fewer skilled workers, rising quality and compliance demands, and the need to modernize existing plants without stopping production. TULIP gives their frontline teams an AI-native production system to meet those pressures and accelerate time-to-value.
TULIP GmbH is a full operating entity and Munich is TULIP’s headquarters in Europe. The team covers sales, solutions engineering, pre-sales engineering, customer success, and R&D. Local customers trust our product in regulated, high-precision environments.
