Your free dossier identifies the people who'd interview you — their background, what they value, and how to reach out so you stand out before applying.

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. The Gravis RACK is a machine-agnostic retrofit kit that adds autonomy to excavators and wheel loaders from 10 to 100+ tonnes: LiDAR and camera sensing, GNSS RTK, networking hardware and rugged edge compute that works offline. Paired with the Slate tablet and our Copilot software, it lets an operator run a machine manually, with AI assistance, or fully autonomously. Increasingly, we also build custom hardware to adapt our machines for highly specialized, robust applications beyond traditional excavation. g. different types of excavation or truck loading. This role owns the architecture that lets those behaviors live in the same software stack as opposed to creating one SW stack per behavior. You'll be responsible for how tasks are decomposed and orchestrated, for the interfaces between, and for the software quality. We are looking for a senior roboticist with C++ and Python expertise and high standards for software quality, who can make clear, pragmatic architectural calls that let the system grow without losing stability. What you'll do Architecture Own the task-level architecture shared across our autonomous behaviors Define clear module boundaries and responsibilities between behavior orchestration, factor out common logic across different tasks Implement component tests and telemetry/metrics collection pipelines Identify technical debt early enough to guide the team toward sustainable solutions Act as the go-to person for software quality: modern C++ practices, code structure, error handling, robustness. Likewise for Python. Nice to have Experience with behavior trees, state machines, or other task orchestration frameworks in production Experience working alongside learned controllers in a production stack - deployment, versioning, observation pipelines. No need to train them.
