Mechanical Engineer

Gritt is an intelligent system that combines robotics and AI to build the infrastructure that pulls society forward. Gritt deploys via simple attachments to common equipment found on construction sites and autonomously performs labor-intensive tasks, verification, and planning. Gritt systems are already building critical infrastructure in the harshest outdoor environments, starting with large-scale solar. The founding team includes experts in robotics and AI from Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, and MIT.

Gritt is backed by Obvious Ventures, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Climactic, Congruent Ventures, and other leading firms.

The Role

You will play a critical hands-on role in the mechanical integration of our robots onto heavy mobile base platforms - skid-steers and tracked vehicles in the 10,000 lb class - and design and support programs that take systems from prototype to repeatable field deployment across construction environments. Our arms are heavy, our payloads are heavier, and our operating conditions run from Arizona desert heat to sub-zero winter cold.

You’ll make hard tradeoffs on structure, mounting, sealing, thermal, and serviceability, and you’ll make them fast.
