Senior Mechanical Engineer

Imagine being part of a cutting‑edge project that’s revolutionizing the way we approach technology – like being at the forefront of drone development before drones were mainstream. At Crover, we are a pioneering, award‑winning team that has developed the world’s first robotic device capable of swimming through dense granular media like sand, grains, and powders – the CROVER robot.

Company Description

Our primary product, the CROVER Robotic Grain Storage Management system, helps grain storage operators detect critical issues such as hotspots early on, ensuring the quality of cereal grains and oilseeds like corn, soybeans, wheat, and barley in bulk storage.

We’re offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced and highly‑skilled Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design of new versions of the CROVER robots.
