Feasibility studies
Find out which autonomy and robotics features make sense for your product before you fund them. Turtle Hill covers technical readiness, integration impact, and commercial fit based on your platform and operational domain.
Know what's feasible, who to build it with, and how to get it done.
Turtle Hill helps OEMs and suppliers navigate robotics and autonomy integrations with feasibility studies, supplier and partner selection, and hands-on engineering support.
Autonomy is a hard thing to bolt on.
Deciding to add autonomy is the easy part. Then come the questions about features, suppliers, and integration.
- Which features are actually feasible on your platform?
- Which sensing, compute, and positioning suppliers fit your volumes and duty cycle?
- Who integrates it, and who owns the problems when the field disagrees with the demo?
Turtle Hill balances engineering challenges with commercial viability to inform those decisions, so your team commits to the right program, partners, and plan.

Services
What Turtle Hill does
Strategy that holds up in engineering review, and engineering that serves the business case.
Supplier and partner selection
Get a shortlist and introduction to sensing, compute, positioning, and autonomy partners, evaluated against your requirements rather than their pitch decks.
Independent business development
Find customers ready to initiate pilots in autonomous trucking, agricultural and construction robotics, and PNT, with someone who can speak engineer and customer.
Technical lead
An experienced technical lead for your autonomy program: scoping, architecture decisions, and keeping engineering and the business case pointed the same way.
Competitor analysis and investment diligence
Evaluate autonomy technology for investment firms, CVCs, and product companies: competitor landscape, diligence on sensing, compute, and positioning stacks, and a clear view of what is ready versus what is still a science project.

About
Engineer first. Strategist second.
Noah Gedrimas, President, Turtle Hill LLC
Noah is an engineer and commercial strategist working in autonomy, robotics, PNT, vehicle integration, off-highway equipment, and business development. He holds a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics) and a decade of experience working in robotics and autonomy.
At Continental, he worked on autonomous Class 8 trucks, robotaxis, shuttles, valet parking, intelligent infrastructure, and ADAS functions. He also led autonomy engineering at GPR before serving as VP of Strategy at GPR (ground positioning radar) in Boston.
At Continental (2015 to 2022), he started in vehicle test and development, where he held a CDL, an L3 maximum handling certification, and a California autonomy license. As Technical Project Lead for Automated Driving North America, he developed the fallback path concept for L4 autonomous trucks that became Continental's fallback system product, deployed the CUbE robotaxi at multiple locations, and served as a design judge at the SAE AutoDrive Challenge.
At GPR, he went from Engineering Director to VP of Strategy and Business Development within a year. He built a sales pipeline across new markets, developed strategic partnerships, and represented GPR at 15+ industry events, podcasts, and conferences. He has 14+ years in advanced vehicle systems, about 10 of them in ADAS and autonomy in Detroit.
