Gravis Robotics is a startup turning heavy construction machines into intelligent and autonomous robots. Our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control enables a single operator to safely manage a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment. With over a decade of academic experience at the cutting edge of large-scale robotics, our team is rapidly translating this expertise into real-world deployments with industry leaders in a trillion-dollar market.
 
At Gravis, we operate at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world deployment. Our Rooftop Autonomous Control Kit (RACK) integrates sensing, compute, communication, and networking into a manufacturer-agnostic solution deployable across a wide range of construction machines.

We are looking for a motivated working student to join our team for an extended engagement (several months or longer), contributing 1 to 2 days per week. Our office is located in Zurich city, close to Bahnhof Oerlikon, and is easily reachable by public transport. You will play a hands-on role in preparing and commissioning our autonomy kits, working closely with our engineering and operations teams. This is a great opportunity to get real-world exposure to a production robotics stack and to contribute meaningfully from day one.
  • Perform software configuration of our autonomy kits as part of the commissioning pipeline
  • Carry out sensor calibration procedures (IMUs, LiDARs, cameras, and others) during in-office commissioning
  • Help maintain a well-organized and fully stocked inventory of electronics components
  • Work across teams to identify recurring issues in the configuration pipeline and support debugging efforts
  • Propose and drive improvements to make our configuration processes faster and more reliable
  • Hands-on experience configuring a real-world autonomy kit being actively deployed all over the world
  • Exposure to the full configuration lifecycle of a robotics kit, from software automation to multi-sensor calibration
  • Collaboration with an international team that has spent over a decade pushing the frontier of large-scale robotics
  • The opportunity to take ownership of improvements and see their direct impact on the scale-up of our kits deployed around the world
  • A look inside a fast-growing deep-tech startup at an exciting stage of its journey
  • Currently enrolled at a Swiss university (Bachelor's or Master's level)
  • Working knowledge of Linux/Ubuntu and the command line
  • Working knowledge of git
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable with hands-on technical tasks
    Good communication skills in English
  • Experience with bash scripting or other automation scripting
  • Familiarity with robotics concepts (sensors, coordinate frames, calibration, etc.)
  • Experience with web-based user interfaces
  • Any prior tinkering with electronics, hobby robotics, or embedded systems
  • Flexible scheduling around your university commitments (1 to 2 days per week)
  • Long-term engagement preferred, with the possibility to grow your responsibilities over time
  • Location & Eligibility
