Company brief · updated 2026-10-18
geckorobotics.com · Industrials · Gecko builds the robotics and AI that measure what no one else can, and turn that evidence into the decisions that keep critical infrastructure running.
Today: "wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform" (Deployment Lead | Navy Manufacturing posting)
Roles: Deployment Lead | Navy Manufacturing · Product Strategist | Aeromechanical Engineering
Requirements mention: DoD/maritime ecosystem · Navy manufacturing · defense primes · digitally-native manufacturing · aircraft structures · GD&T · reverse engineering
Inference: the two Pittsburgh roles point to Gecko applying its inspection and data platform to Navy and defense manufacturing workflows ("digital threads") and to a defense aircraft program of record.
Today: Cantilever, which the site says connects robot readings to customers' documents, drawings and history
Roles: Software Engineer | Data Backend · Full Stack Software Engineering Intern · AI/Machine Learning Engineering Intern
Requirements mention: Rolodex · data pipelines · complex authorization and permissioning systems · LLM APIs · retrieval · 3D visualization
Inference: the roles point to continued work on the shared data backend (Rolodex, described as "the central data platform"), with LLM-based features added to the applications that turn inspection data into decisions.
Today: "Field software that operators use to drive wall-climbing robots and capture ultrasonic data on site" (Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer posting)
Roles: Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer
Requirements mention: real-time or streaming data · integrating with hardware, robots, or third-party systems · ROS · 3D visualization in the browser · embedded or edge hardware
Inference: the posting says the field software is being extended to a new underwater system for ship hull inspection; one Pittsburgh role covers this work.
Today: Robotic inspection delivered with Cantilever (Deployment Lead | Oil & Gas posting) and "robotic inspection equipment" (NDT Advanced Services Operator | Commercial posting, Houston)
Roles: NDT Advanced Services Operator | Commercial · Deployment Lead | Oil & Gas · Robot Field Operator
Requirements mention: Level II PAUT certification · 5+ years of experience in the downstream oil and gas industry · Experience with AUT · travel 50% · Cantilever
Inference: two Houston field roles and one New York City deployment role with 50% travel suggest continued on-site inspection work for oil and gas customers.
Today: "production-grade robotic manipulation systems that embed intelligent inspection directly into active manufacturing environments" (Robotics Software Engineer posting)
Roles: Robotics Software Engineer
Requirements mention: Experience programming industrial 6-axis articulated robots (FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa) · Experience integrating perception systems (vision, 3D sensors) into robotic workflows · Familiarity with PLCs and industrial communication protocols
Inference: none drawn; one posting only.

Seniority: 7 senior, 6 mid, 2 manager, 1 junior, 4 intern, 1 unknown (21 roles).
Skills named most: Python (10 roles), React (6 roles), Linux (5 roles), Git (4 roles), cloud infrastructure (4 roles), TypeScript (3 roles), Docker (3 roles), data pipelines (3 roles), Java (3 roles), SQL (2 roles), LLM APIs (2 roles), ROS (2 roles)
Locations: Pittsburgh (12), New York City (6), Houston (2), Abu Dhabi (1); remote roles: 0.
If you're applying: All roles are onsite, mostly in Pittsburgh with a second hub in New York City. Check each posting's location and hard requirements (certifications, years of experience) before applying. The newest postings are Product Strategist | Aeromechanical Engineering (Pittsburgh) and FP&A Manager (New York City).
If you're selling or recruiting: Gecko has 21 open roles, with 2 new in the last 30 days against 7 opened in the prior 30 days and none closed; the computed velocity is slowing. Pittsburgh is the hiring center. The most concrete lines to open a conversation on are the Cantilever and Rolodex data platform software work, Navy and defense manufacturing, the underwater hull inspection system, and oil and gas field services.
