Company mission
Gecko Robotics' mission is to protect and maintain civilization's most critical infrastructure, through machines and platforms.
Role
Who you are
- Expertise in writing clean, maintainable code for a production environment
- Experience designing secure, user-friendly APIs that enable intuitive data interaction and application development
- Ability to develop full stack features in pursuit of solving end to end problems for the business
- Real world experience building, maintaining, and replacing data infrastructure
- Desire to have a high impact at a fast-moving startup as a key contributor on a new project and fast-growing team
- Exceptional communication skills and commitment to receiving and providing continuous feedback
- An open mindset to new ideas and innovative problem solving
- Excited to dive into new technologies and embrace strong DevOps practices
- High self-motivation and love of self-directed learning
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or closely related field (or equivalent experience)
- Minimum of 5 years (or preferably more!) of hands on development in a production environment
Desirable
- Experience working with signal processing algorithms
- Understanding of data pipelines and data processing infrastructure
What the job involves
- You will develop new features and components of the system in a full stack capacity. In doing so, you will gain a deep understanding of the signal data coming off the robots and how it’s used by our customers to gain insights into the health of their infrastructure
- You will also have the opportunity to be one of the first few software engineers in New York building this system as we look to expand our software presence in this office
- Design, develop, and ship features that help automate the process of validating ultrasonic signal data and classifying damage mechanisms such as cracking, corrosion, or pitting
- Work closely with users who are validating and interpreting the ultrasonic signal data coming off the robots
- Collaborate with our Machine Learning engineers as we improve our ML and signal processing algorithms to reduce the time and human effort needed to validate data
- We use a variety of technologies, but we primarily operate using Python, React, and Typescript with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as our cloud provider. This is a non-exhaustive list and we are tech agnostic in our interview process, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your background
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.
