Full job description
Gravis Robotics is a high-growth Series A start-up backed by SoftBank, bringing Physical AI to the construction industry, turning heavy construction machines into autonomous robots. Gravis began as an ETH Zurich spin-out, and our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control lets one operator safely conduct a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment. Backed by deep robotics research and now deployed across multiple countries with leading construction and equipment partners, our team is rapidly growing to bring this technology to a trillion-dollar industry.
We're building out our US field team and looking for a hands-on Field Robotics Engineer to be part of it from the ground up. You'll own the end-to-end technical execution of customer deployments across the Americas, from initial site assessment through live operations, and work directly with R&D and Operations to continuously sharpen how we plan, test, and deliver.
This is not a desk job. You'll be on-site, getting systems to perform in real-world conditions, troubleshooting integrated robotic systems under pressure, and serving as the trusted technical face of Gravis to our customers. If you want to see your work move dirt, this is the role.
Lead the technical execution of customer deployment projects from start to handover
Own end-to-end technical planning, coordination, and follow-up in close collaboration with Operations
Serve as a trusted technical point of contact for customers throughout the deployment lifecycle
Provide hands-on technical support and guidance to customers and end users
Perform regular system testing to ensure reliability, robustness, and performance
Generate performance reports and work with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve issues quickly
Contribute to continuous improvement of deployment processes, tooling, and best practices
Bachelor's degree or higher (or equivalent experience) in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
Hands-on experience deploying, integrating, and debugging robotic software systems
Experience with the ROS ecosystem
Solid Linux proficiency and fluency with Git or similar version control
Programming skills in C++ and Python
Willingness to travel to customer sites, including domestically and internationally depending on project needs
Valid US driver's license
Must be authorized to work in the United States
Hands-on mechanical or electronics experience (hardware assembly, basic soldering)
Experience with communication protocols such as CAN
Previous customer project or technical project management experience
Practical experience repairing vehicles, machinery, bicycles, or electronics
Experience operating or working with construction or agricultural machinery
This role is US-based with frequent travel to deployment sites across the Americas. You'll get real exposure to customer environments from day one.
