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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Requirements

  • BS/MS degree or equivalent years of experience in Robotics, Automation, Advanced Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, or related field
  • Strong systems thinking with hands-on technical experience across the full stack: hardware, firmware, software, and integration
  • Familiarity with ROS, embedded systems, and full-stack development for robotics or automation systems
  • Ability to translate bandwidth, technical risk, and resource needs into actionable decisions
  • Track record of training, mentoring, or leveling up teams through direct teaching and role modeling

Nice to have

  • 4+ years managing engineers directly, including performance reviews and career development
  • Experience supporting multiple cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, high-growth startup or scaling environment
  • Experience standing up or scaling internal training programs, onboarding systems, or technical development tracks
  • Recognized internally or externally as a thought leader or technical mentor
