Descripción de la oferta
At Voltrac, we are on a mission to strengthen Europe’s food security and defence with an autonomous electric tractor to free farmers from drudgery and keep soldiers out of harm’s way. The 3.5 tonnes platform is currently being tested at vineyards, olive orchards and citrus groves across Spain – check out voltrac to see it in action. We are about to scale manufacturing to 100 units yearly, and are looking to match the team size accordingly. If you are able to help us expand quickly, we’d love for you to join us!
Who we are
Voltrac was founded by Francisco Infante Aguirre and Thomas Hubregtsen in 2024. Francisco used to build hydrogen-powered supersonic planes at Destinus and heavy-lifting eVTOLs at Volocopter, but comes from a family that builds and sells tractor implements in over 25 countries. Thomas used to accelerate Machine Learning using GPUs, TPUs, and Quantum Computers at Google X, IBM and BMW, as well as started San Francisco-based Extropic introducing Thermodynamic computers, but also had his first job at a farm.
Together, they set their sights on shaking up the market, competing directly with incumbents and startups alike. In their journey, they are supported by investors such as Extantia, Foodlabs, Antler, Push, and Prototype, who together committed a total of 9M euros in funding. With this, they were able to open up shop in a 1200 m² facility in Valencia, with 300 m² of natural‑light office and a 900 m² workshop. Valencia is consistently voted as one of Europe’s top places to live based on its low cost of living, excellent climate, and vibrant historic centre. The team is young, comes from different backgrounds, and loves to have team bbqs, but share one aim: shape Europe’s agriculture and defence with machines that do real work.
Tasks
Voltrac is scaling from a core team to a company that ships autonomous electric tractors into the field. You will be the first dedicated recruiter on the team – a hands‑on builder who can turn hiring from “heroics” into a repeatable system.
This is not a back‑office role. You will partner directly with the founders and hiring managers to define roles, source the right profiles, run structured interview loops, and close exceptional candidates.
You will own end‑to‑end recruiting: sourcing, screening, interview design, references, offers and closing.
Your contribution will ensure that we run structured, fair interview processes.
You will build a system to maximise sourcing from different channels that work for deep tech leading to outbound search, referrals, communities, events and targeted partnerships.
You will keep our pipeline and hiring data clean; report weekly on pipeline health, time‑to‑hire, conversion rates and bottlenecks.
You will coordinate relocation and candidate logistics; ensure a fast, respectful candidate experience from first contact to start date.
Requirements
5+ years experience recruiting for technical roles (engineering, hardware, robotics, industrial, automotive or similar) as well as supporting roles such as sales and marketing.
Strong sourcing capability (consistently find and engage high‑performing candidates who are not actively applying).
Demonstrated ability to run structured interview processes and close candidates in competitive markets.
Comfort operating in a small, fast‑moving startup where priorities can shift and processes are built from scratch.
Fluent English and Spanish (written and spoken).
Built hiring processes for a company scaling from
