Field Robotics Engineer - US
About The Position
Gravis Robotics is a startup focused on transforming heavy construction machines into intelligent and autonomous robots. They achieve this through a unique blend of learning-based automation and augmented remote control, allowing a single operator to manage a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified setting. Their Rooftop Autonomous Control Kit (RACK) is a manufacturer-agnostic solution that integrates sensing, compute, communication, and networking for various construction machines. The company operates at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world deployment and is experiencing rapid growth. This role is for a hands-on Field Robotics Engineer to join and help build out the US field team from the ground up. The position involves end-to-end technical execution of customer deployments across the Americas, from initial site assessment to live operations.
