Company mission
Gecko Robotics' mission is to protect and maintain civilization's most critical infrastructure, through machines and platforms.
Role
Who you are
- Ability to extract meaningful insights from data (in Excel, code, or anywhere)
- Understanding of how technical decisions impact the user of what you’re building
- Ability to work effectively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals
- Skill and comfort working in a rapidly changing environment: decide when the objective needs to shift, rapidly pivot toward valuable progress
- Demonstrated ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision. Willingness and interest to travel as needed to get very close to the difficult and complex problems we are solving
What the job involves
- Product Strategists build better business outcomes for our customers by creating new solutions in line with Gecko Robotics’ tech strategy
- They have a nose for valuable problems and the ability to translate business problems into product vision, through extensive user interaction
- Working closely with Forward Deployed Engineers, Product Strategists will break down goals in a way that maximizes chance of success, tracks velocity, manages risks, and charts the critical path
- Product Strategists, by solving a specific version of the problem for a specific customer, also help to navigate Gecko’s platforms - Gecko’s tools that scale across customers
- 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
- Growth: 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.
