Simulation & Perception Engineer Internship

Gravis Robotics is a startup that turns heavy construction machines into intelligent and autonomous robots. 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. Our team has over a decade of academic experience honing the cutting edge of large-scale robotics, and is rapidly growing to bring that expertise into a trillion dollar industry through active deployments with market leaders. 

Construction represents 13% of the global GDP, but is stagnating in labor productivity. Unprepared to meet global housing shortages, and to construct the required renewable infrastructure to slow the advance of climate change, the industry is in need of substantial innovation. Gravis Robotics is on a mission to provide such innovation through the automation of heavy construction equipment. Our solution allows a single equipment operator to orchestrate multiple machines at a safe distance. To do so, we developed a specialized heavy-machinery retrofitting kit featuring a number of different sensors, communication and networking devices and compute modules, that runs our learning-based automation software and that enables autonomous operations of heavy construction machines. Gravis' autonomy kit can be retrofitted on any existing heavy machinery, agnostic to the machine's manufacturer, type and age, unlocking the opportunity of deploying our solution anywhere in the world.

We are looking for a passionate, skilled intern to join our team — and to actively contribute to the development and deployment of extraordinary construction robots. The ideal candidate should be self-motivated, capable of working autonomously and in small teams, and should have a strong desire to solve exciting, challenging, and applied problems.
