The posting

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.

About the role

What you’ll do

  • Own the embedded Linux platform from end to end: bootloader, kernel, device tree and rootfs.
  • Bring up new hardware alongside electrical engineers. Take our boards from first power-up to a boot you’d trust on a customer site.
  • Write and maintain the kernel drivers that connect the Rack’s sensors to the autonomy stack
  • Be the low level link between hardware and software teams; the person who can tell a driver bug from a hardware fault.
  • Drive our OTA update and recovery strategy for machines around the world
  • Implement security hardening: secure boot, disk encryption, container isolation, vulnerability patching.

What we're looking for

  • Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, CS, or related field.
  • Deep knowledge of Linux kernel internals: device drivers, device tree, interrupt handling, memory management, scheduling.
  • Experience with custom hardware bring-up: pin muxing, clock configuration, regulator control, PCIe, USB, I2C, SPI, UART, CSI, Ethernet.
  • Strong understanding of circuit diagrams and digital electronics.
  • Self-driven, able to take full ownership in a fast-moving startup.
  • Good English (written and spoken) is a must.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Yocto, Buildroot, nixOS or bootc experience for custom embedded distributions.
  • Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms (Thor, Orin, Xavier, Nano or equivalent) and JetPack/L4T ecosystem.
  • Power, thermal, or performance optimization on resource-constrained SoCs.
  • Familiar with CI/CD, Git, and automated build/deployment processes.
  • Know how to use debugging tools like JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
  • Experience with the design, implementation and documentation of safety critical firmware

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team and to be part of a company that is reshaping heavy construction.

Gravis is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse team, and do not discriminate based on race, colour, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender identity, gender expression, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
