Gravis Robotics is turning the world's earthmoving machines into intelligent, autonomous robots. Our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control lets one operator safely conduct a fleet of machines. Our team has over a decade of academic experience honing the cutting edge of large-scale robotics and is rapidly growing to bring that expertise into a multi-billion dollar industry.

What We Build

Operators interact with our platform through Slate: an interface that makes controlling and monitoring a fleet of heavy machines feel fast, spatial, and intuitive. Design at Gravis shapes how people experience that power: how they trust it, learn it, and want to use it every day. You\'ll be joining the team responsible for this interface: a cross-disciplinary group of game designers, UX/UI designers, C++ developers, and cloud/web engineers building spatial UI that is reliable, fast, and delightful to use. It\'s an environment where game development thinking meets real-world autonomy, and where design craft has a direct impact on how operators work in the field.

The Role

We\'re looking for a Design Intern with an exquisite eye and a relentless attention to detail. You\'ll work across three interconnected fronts: evolving our design system, sharpening our brand identity, and improving the UX of our products. You might work on experimenting with AI design tools to accelerate a component build, polishing the visual language of our brand across touchpoints, or collecting feedback from machine operators in the field. This is an on-site, hands-on role in a fast-moving startup: you\'ll contribute to real work that ships.

What You\'ll Do

• Contribute to the Gravis design system: building, documenting, and maintaining components with consistency and precision
• Explore and integrate AI-assisted design tools (e.g. generative UI, design-to-code workflows) to accelerate output quality
• Support brand definition work: visual language, tone, color, typography, and how Gravis presents itself across touchpoints
• Conduct UX audits and propose improvements to the Slate interface and web presence
• Create UI mockups, prototypes, and visual assets for internal and external use
• Document design decisions and contribute to a growing design knowledge base

What We\'re Looking For

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a degree in Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Visual Communication, or a related field
• A strong portfolio demonstrating visual taste, attention to detail, and design thinking across type, UI, branding
• Proficiency in Figma
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools or genuine curiosity to learn them
• Ability to work independently and move quickly without losing quality
• Fluency in English (our working language)

Bonus Points

• Experience with design systems or component libraries
• Exposure to UX research methods
• Interest in robotics, hardware, or industrial technology

What We Offer

This is a chance to do meaningful design work at a startup that\'s physically reshaping the world: from the roads you drive on to the foundations beneath your next home. Gravis offers a fair market internship compensation and a working location in Zurich. We\'re a compact, mission-driven team where your work will be visible and your taste will matter from day one.
