About ZYGO
ZYGO is a fast-growing robotics software company building ZYGOS, a skill-based platform that enables robots to adapt, learn, and operate in complex environments. Our robots are deployed in industries where reliability, autonomy, and intelligence truly matter.
*Most people shouldn’t join a startup. Things break, plans change, and there’s no time for endless meetings or perfect processes. It’s action, every day. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in.
The role
We’re looking for an HR Officer to build and own the HR foundation at ZYGO. This role is focused on scaling the team without introducing unnecessary overhead. You ensure that hiring, onboarding, and HR operations run efficiently, while maintaining a high-performance environment. You operate close to the founders and team leads, translating growth into structure.
This role can be combined with the Office and Business Support Manager role into a full-time role.
What you will do
- Own recruitment end-to-end, from defining roles to closing candidates
- Define and drive the HR strategy aligned with company growth
- Implement and run performance management processes (evaluations, growth paths)
- Build and optimize onboarding so new hires become productive fast
- Manage HR operations including contracts, payroll coordination, and policies
- Maintain a strong team dynamic by balancing autonomy with accountability
- Ensure compliance with legal and operational HR requirements
- Work closely with leadership to anticipate hiring needs and organizational changes
- Represent ZYGO at job fairs and recruitment events to attract new talent
What you bring
- Experience in HR, preferably in a startup or scale-up environment
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to hire for technical and high-impact roles
- Clear and direct communication
- An ownership mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving
- Comfort working in a fast-changing environment without rigid processes
Why ZYGO?
- We're still small enough that you'll shape what ZYGO becomes.
- A team that's actively implementing the latest tech to create Physical AI Agents.
- Lots of learning potential with lots of technologies and senior team members.
- Professional workplace despite the fast-paced growth trajectory.
- Have a real-world impact on jobs that are under a lot of pressure.
