Job description

About Gritt

Gritt Robotics is building general-purpose intelligence for the physical world - robots that can work in the unstructured, unpredictable conditions of real construction sites. Our mission is to help civilization build infrastructure faster, and we do it by creating intelligence that generalizes across the messy environments where most automation breaks down.

We work with heavy industrial robots, dense camera and LiDAR sensor arrays, and the kind of hardware that needs to be treated with care and precision. Our hardware shop is where the frontier work happens, and it only works when the space itself is in top shape.

THE ROLE

We're in the middle of a major office move, and we need someone to own the cleanliness, organization, and physical readiness of our hardware shop through the transition and beyond. This is a hands‑on role for someone meticulous, reliable, and hungry to keep a space in top shape – from getting the new shop set up and dialed in, to keeping tools, machines, and inventory running smoothly day to day.

We need a dedicated person who takes pride in the environment itself, keeps our tools and machines in good working order, and makes sure the basics never slip while supporting a highly technical team.

This role is full‑time on‑site in Belmont, CA, and is a strong fit for someone who wants to get involved with one of the most exciting robotics companies pushing the boundaries of outdoor, real‑world autonomy.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Keep the hardware shop clean, organized, and in pristine condition day to day, including floor care and common areas
• Arrange and maintain workstations, staging areas, and equipment zones so engineers can move fast
• Care for and properly stage sensitive hardware – robots, cameras, LiDAR units, tools, and components
• Manage organization and basic inventory of tools, parts, and supplies, including ordering simple replacement items (e.g. broken drill bits) as needed
• Maintain machine shop equipment and keep it in good working order
• Run and manage 3D print queues, keeping printers stocked, calibrated, and producing
• Receive, ship, and schedule deliveries – make sure nothing gets missed, and coordinate incoming/outgoing shipments in the warehouse
• Coordinate with outside contractors and vendors for facilities needs
• Maintain order and safety around heavy equipment and active work areas
• Spot what needs attention before anyone asks, and handle it

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Someone who gets genuinely excited about walking into a shop or lab and making it clean, organized, and functional
• High attention to detail and a strong sense of order
• Comfortable in a hands‑on, industrial, hardware‑heavy environment, including lifting up to 50 lbs, etc.
• Valid forklift certification, or willingness to obtain one – we'll provide training
• Reliable, proactive, and self‑directed
• A "no task is beneath me" mindset – at Gritt, founders take out the trash, and we expect everyone to pitch in wherever it’s needed
• Comfortable handling day‑to‑day coordination (deliveries, vendors, contractors) – this is for someone who’s dependable when it comes to logistics

A plus (or aptitude to learn)

• Background or interest in hardware/robotics, fabrication tools/machines

Why Gritt

You’ll work alongside a team building robotics for the real world, in one of the most ambitious physical‑AI companies in the field. The hardware shop you keep in top shape is where the next generation of construction robotics is being built – and your work makes that possible.

Gritt Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds.
