Join the QualySense journey

QualySense, a young and rapidly growing Swiss company, is reinventing the global soft commodity market by pioneering the proprietary QSorter® technology, a sophisticated high-speed single-kernel robot, which measures the compositional and physical quality of each grain and sorts it accordingly. The QSorter® is the result of outstanding R&D in the field of sensing, mechatronics, biochemistry, data processing and life science along with world-known partners such as the United States Department of Agriculture, EMPA, Agroscope, and ETH. The QSorter® analyzes grains at very high speed by means of Near Infrared spectroscopy and 2D/3D imaging. The company, founded in 2010, has been awarded with several prestigious prizes. QualySense reshapes the world of food and agritech with intelligent single grain, seed and bean inspection and sorting solutions. We are looking for talents that can help us achieving our mission.
