Senior Robotics Engineer : Sanding

Summary

Headquartered in sunny Los Angeles GrayMatter Robotics is a well-capitalized AI robotics startup serving the manufacturing industry. We empower shop floor workers with our smart robots that assist with tedious and ergonomically challenging tasks specifically in automated surface finishing. Our proprietary GMR-AI software is integrated with state-of-the-art industrial robots sensors and tools to create application-specific turnkey solutions for customers through a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.

We help manufacturers improve the quality of life for their workforce while increasing production capacity and reducing scrap repair and rework costs. As a Robotics Engineer : Sanding you will join our Government Projects team onsite in our Carson CA office to design develop and deploy advanced robotic systems for automated surface finishing and painting this role youll collaborate directly with customers to understand manufacturing processes configure GMR-AI for optimal tool paths and create simulation models for coverage cycle time and quality. Youll work cross-functionally with mechanical robotics and product teams to engineer custom robotic cells integrate control components run proof-of-concepts and deliver consistent high-quality results from concept through deployment.
