About the role

Our robots take on the tedious, hazardous, and ergonomically demanding work that has kept manufacturing dependent on a shrinking skilled workforce, delivering superhuman performance.
Our systems are in active production today, adapting autonomously to real geometries, real materials, and real process variation without reprogramming.
We hire people who want to solve hard physical problems at an industrial scale.

Design, implement, and train state-of-the-art AI models for perception, inspection, decision-making, and control in real-world robotic manufacturing systems.
Own and advance synthetic data generation pipelines, leveraging generative AI techniques for complex 3D geometry and environment, physics-based simulation, and image data, and scaling them across diverse processes and applications.
Optimize, deploy, and maintain ML models on production robotic systems, considering latency, reliability, and hardware constraints.
GrayMatter Robotics is a well-capitalized Physical AI company headquartered in Los Angeles, building Factory SuperIntelligence (FSI) through systems that learn, adapt, and develop genuine process intelligence across every part they touch.
We deliver our system through a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model that converts capital expenditure into an operating subscription, making Physical AI accessible to the manufacturers who need it most.

Strong proficiency in Python is required
Proven ability to diagnose and solve ambiguous, system-level problems and iterate quickly under real-world constraints.

Deep understanding and hands-on experience using physics engines and robotics simulation platforms (e.g., Isaac Lab, MuJoCo) to solve complex real-world robotics problems.
Hands-on experience with 3D data (point clouds, meshes, SDFs, CAD-derived geometry) and related tooling.
Experience with robotics middleware and tooling (e.g., ROS/ROS 2) and deployment on real robotic hardware.
Prior experience working in industrial, manufacturing, or high-mix automation environments.
A publication track record, or demonstrated interest in publishing applied research in venues such as ICRA, CoRL, RSS, IROS, RA-L, or T-RO, balanced with a strong bias toward real-world production impact.
