Senior Robotics Software Engineer - Autonomy Architecture

Gravis Robotics is a fast‑growing Series A startup backed by SoftBank that applies Physical AI to the construction sector, converting large earth‑moving machines into autonomous robots. Originating as an ETH Zurich spin‑out, the firm blends learning‑based automation with augmented remote control, enabling a single operator to safely manage a fleet of machines within a gamified interface. Their flagship Gravis RACK is a hardware‑agnostic retrofit package that equips excavators and wheel loaders ranging from 10 to over 100 tonnes with LiDAR, camera, GNSS RTK, networking and rugged edge computing that can run offline. Together with the Slate tablet and Copilot software, it supports manual operation, AI‑assisted control, or full autonomy, and the team is also expanding custom hardware for specialised, robust use‑cases beyond standard excavation. The solution is already deployed in several countries together with leading construction and equipment partners, and the company's research‑driven team is scaling quickly to bring the technology to a trillion‑dollar market.
