Gritt is an intelligent system that combines robotics and AI to build the infrastructure that pulls society forward. Doing real work on real jobsites, today. Backed by USV.
About the role
Hungry to grow. You're early in your career and want to build real expertise fast, with increasing ownership as we scale. Prompt and on top of things. You return messages quickly, you don't let things sit, and people trust you to follow through. You create POs, poke the right people to ensure payments are made on time, etc.
What they're looking for
- 1-5 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain, or operations, ideally in a hardware, robotics, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, or manufacturing environment. Strong internship experience counts

- Prompt and on top of things. You return messages quickly, you don't let things sit, and people trust you to follow through. You create POs, poke the right people to ensure payments are made on time, etc
- Organized by default. You naturally keep clean vendor records, PO trackers, and BOMs. When the existing system has a gap, you notice it and raise it rather than letting it quietly cause problems
- Comfortable with hardware. You can read a mechanical drawing, understand a bill of materials, talk to a machine shop, and source a LiDAR or industrial camera. Or you are eager to learn
- A people connector. You can work with mechanical engineers, suppliers, and leadership - and translate between them
More about this role
Gritt is an intelligent system that combines robotics and AI to build the infrastructure that pulls society forward. Gritt deploys via simple attachments to common equipment found on construction sites and autonomously performs labor-intensive tasks, verification, and planning. Gritt systems are already building critical infrastructure in the harshest outdoor environments, starting with large-scale solar. The founding team includes experts in robotics and AI from Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, and MIT. Gritt is backed by Obvious Ventures, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Climactic, Congruent Ventures, and other leading firms.
Our hardware team builds the physical layer the AI runs on - the platform that puts intelligence on a machine and sends it to work. We integrate perception, industrial sensors, compute, and robotic actuators to create autonomous field systems that can perceive, decide, and act on a real job site.
In practice, that means this role lives at the intersection of sourcing, vendor management, and hardware execution. The right person is comfortable sourcing brackets, fasteners, and structural parts one hour, chasing down a LiDAR lead time the next, and...
