Role
Who you are
- Possesses the intense drive to solve real-world problems in the industries we serve using Gecko technologies
- Is able to extract meaningful insights from data (in Excel, code, or anywhere)
- Understands how technical decisions impact the user of what you’re building
- Can reason about product, being able to identify customer value and translate that into technology vision
- Is able to work effectively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals
- Is skilled at and comfortable with working in a rapidly changing environment: decide when the objective needs to shift, rapidly pivot toward valuable progress
- Is low-ego and outcome oriented
- Can demonstrate and articulate examples of their ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision
- Has a willingness and interest in traveling 25-75% to get very close to the difficult and complex problems we are solving and working directly with customers
What the job involves
- Deployment Leads drive business outcomes for our customers by deploying and creating solutions in line with Gecko Robotics’ tech strategy
- They lead a team of Forward Deployed people to dive deep on customer needs and deploy Gecko’s technology to address them
- By solving a specific version of the problem for a specific customer, Deployment Leads also help contribute to Gecko’s product stack, building solutions that scale to other customers
- Deployment Leads are the primary customer point of contact, and hold the mandate to expand their engagements by delivering increasing value over time
- Solve Real Problems: We search for the highest impact problems we can find, we spend a lot of time with our customers to understand their true nature, we come up with new ways, and we don’t quit until we’ve reached impact
- Deploy: We believe in building products close to the customer. Deployment Leads meet our customers where they are, going onsite to learn firsthand about their challenges
- Lead a Team: Hard problems require team-driven solutions. In this role, you’ll rely on teamwork and coordination to achieve outcomes alongside other highly-competent engineers, analysts, and operators
- Own Customer Relationships: As you dive deep on customer problems, you’ll encounter a wide wide range of customer personas and personalities. While not a traditional Sales role, being a Deployment Lead will demand deft navigation of customer relationships as you seek to expand our relationships
- Grow: The problems we work on are hard. No one has yet solved them. We are constantly learning and trying - and that includes learning about ourselves. We are a group who loves to grow - even if it requires hard work to do so
Our take
The critical services of energy, government, and other essential sectors depend on reliable infrastructure, and this is ensured through regular inspections. However, collecting the physical data required for infrastructural inspection is impossible without a variety of specialized equipment, and analyzing the produced data is a highly time-consuming process.
Gecko Robotics provides physical data handling for critical infrastructure inspections, leveraging robot-enabled ultrasonics and cloud-based data processing to serve power, oil and gas, pulp and paper, chemical, and government sectors. The company achieves this by pairing human NDT II/III inspectors with data capturing robots, facilitating the deployment of various advanced inspection techniques to meet any regulatory standards.
Whilst the use of robotic automation for infrastructural inspection is nothing new, Gecko Robotics stands out by offering its Toka robotics series, devices that are sufficiently flexible to collect data in many infrastructural scenarios. The company claims that this technology facilitates the collection of 1000 times more information than existing solutions at 10 times the speed.
Since receiving $73 million in Series C funding, Gecko has expanded its mission to "protect today's critical infrastructure and give shape to tomorrow's", taking on lucrative contracts with the US Navy.
