Job Description

### About CreateMe

CreateMe Technologies is bringing advanced industry automation manufacturing
methods to the apparel industry. CreateMe’s automation technology drives
better economic and environmental outcomes, across the board, to the $1.7T
apparel industry.

Our technology unlocks onshore, on-demand apparel manufacturing with a unique
systems-based approach combining automation hardware, adhesive seam assembly,
and proprietary robotic automation software. In short, we make clothes with
robots and replace thread with glue.

We have invented a unique automated assembly technique employing digitally-
dispensed adhesive methods deployed at high velocity, at cost parity today to
overseas manual manufacturing. In the near future we will dramatically
outperform off-shore labor rates.

We are revolutionizing how apparel is made close to the consumer with
automated manufacturing. We are the first company to truly bring this concept
to reality, fully end-to-end, with automation, adhesive, and robotics. Apparel
redefined today.
