Position Summary & Responsibilities

Summary

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. Our robots take on the tedious, hazardous, and ergonomically demanding work that has kept manufacturing dependent on a shrinking skilled workforce, delivering superhuman performance. Robotics has a demo problem. GMR doesn't. Our systems are in active production today, adapting autonomously to real geometries, real materials, and real process variation without reprogramming. 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. We hire people who want to solve hard physical problems at an industrial scale.

The Senior Robotics Design Engineer: Government Projects will enable project success by leading the design, implementation and testing of complex robotic systems including integration of industrial six-axis robots, mobile robots, robot transporters, end-of-arm tooling and associated hardware in innovative manufacturing systems.

Responsibilities

Partner with project teams and internal stakeholders to understand manufacturing processes, requirements, and constraints, gathering CAD files, measurements, and documentation needed for design.
Build 3D CAD assemblies and own robotic manufacturing cell design end to end, working with software design and mechatronics teams to optimize for reachability, cycle time, and efficiency.
Design and iterate on robotic workcells, tools, and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), partnering with sensor and peripheral vendors and ensuring EOAT compliance with ISO/TR 20218-1 safety guidelines.
Design hardware and mechanisms for six-axis robotic systems, including transporter mechanisms (rails), and perform structural analysis and simulation to validate design integrity.
Prototype hardware with Design fo
