Simulation & Perception Engineer Internship

TLDR

Join a growing startup applying learning-based automation to autonomous heavy-construction robots, with hands-on work across simulation, perception, and real-world deployment.

Focus Areas
  • Procedural scene generation in simulation (terrain, lighting, asset placement)
  • Synthetic data generation for training ML models across varied environmental conditions
  • Enhancement of physics-based sensor models for LiDAR and cameras
  • Automated test creation in simulation for construction site scenarios and machine behaviors (e.g. excavation with truck loading)
  • Required Qualifications
  • Master's level study (e.g. in robotics, computer science, mechanical or electrical engineering)
  • Advanced proficiency in Python
  • Working knowledge of C++
  • Experience with ML pipelines and 3D perception (e.g. object detection, point cloud processing)
  • Beneficial Skills
  • Experience with robotics simulation tools (e.g. Gazebo, MuJoCo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim)
  • Experience with ROS 2 or other robotics frameworks
  • Proficiency in Linux and Git
  • Familiarity with sensor modeling (LiDAR, cameras) or synthetic data generation
  • Experience conducting research (e.g. through an academic lab or previous internships)
  • Interest or prior experience in heavy construction or autonomous vehicles
  • Experience with software testing (unit, component, or functional tests)
  • This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and versatile team, and to be part of a young startup that will revolutionize heavy construction. You will get the chance to apply your skills to critical tasks, while learning from a team of world-class robotic engineers. Gravis Robotics offers a fair market salary and an excellent working location in the city of Zurich.
