RoboticsEngineer:Applications

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. Our customers in Tijuana and Mexicali are deploying our Physical AI solutions in live production, and they need a Robotics Engineer: Applications on our Activation team who can troubleshoot, optimize, and support these systems from day one. This role owns the work of keeping robotic surface finishing solutions running reliably on the shop floor, investigating complex issues that span software, hardware, sensors, and tooling, and collaborating with our engineering teams to continuously improve product reliability and customer experience. You will work shoulder to shoulder with customers and cross-functional teams to diagnose root causes, implement solutions, and identify opportunities to expand impact within each account. This is high-ownership, fast-paced work for someone who wants to solve problems under real customer pressure. Role and Responsibilities - Before a work cell is deployed, work with the customer to learn the manufacturing process, including observing the current process, taking measurements, and reviewing CAD and machine documentation. - Partner with mechanical and robotics engineers to design the work cell layout for a specific manufacturing process, accounting for the robot's reachability and cycle time. - Drive design modifications to the robot end of arm tool and part fixtures alongside mechanical engineers, and get parts fabricated, assembled, and tested. - Be on site when the work cell is delivered to lead unboxing, setup, and customer train
