Company mission
Gecko Robotics' mission is to protect and maintain civilization's most critical infrastructure, through machines and platforms.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional frontend development experience
- Experience with 3D data visualization, using technologies such as Unity, Unreal, or ThreeJS
- Strong understanding of software design patterns, algorithms, and data-intensive application design
- High self-motivation and love of self-directed learning
- Strong communication skills, and proven ability to collaborate across team boundaries
- Desire to be a key contributor on new software projects and drive innovation in our industry
Desirable
- Proficiency with web-based technologies, especially Typescript / React
- Experience with graphics APIs such as WebGL, WebGPU, OpenGL, or Vulkan
- Experience working with computational geometry, especially level-of-detail systems
- Experience working with or building photogrammetric systems
- Experience working with or building Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
What the job involves
- We are a small, established frontend software team specialized in data layer integration and visualization looking for engineers passionate about rendering, computational geometry, and related fields
- From day one, you will be working on web-based 3D tools for use at Gecko client sites, collaborating closely with our customer-specific deployments to drive real change in government and industry
- You will work with other software teams to integrate new photogrammetric and point-cloud data layers into Gecko’s Cantilever™ software platform, driving digitization at factories, power plants, and navy bases
- You will innovate with new technologies and datasets, including server-side rendering and satellite overlays as we build the next generation of site, fleet, and asset management tools
- Cantilever™ applications are built in Typescript+React, using ThreeJS (WebGL) for procedural, client-side rendering and a blend of Unreal and other technologies for server-side rendering. Data processing services are written in Python, while GCP is our cloud provider. 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.
