Robotics Engineer: System

Summary

Headquartered in sunny Los Angeles, Gray Matter Robotics is an AI robotics company that empowers people with smart robot assistants designed for tedious and ergonomically challenging tasks. We bundle our AI software with off-the-shelf robots, sensors, and tools to create application-specific turnkey solutions for customers through a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) format.

We help manufacturers improve shop floor workers’ quality of life, increase production capacity, and reduce scrap, repair, and rework costs. As a Robotics Engineer:
Systems & Applications Engineer you will enable customer success by leading the implementation, deployment, and support activities of smart robotic assistants for surface treatment applications.

• Before the work cell is deployed, work with the customer to learn about the manufacturing process, including observing the current process, taking measurements, CAD, and machine documentation
• Work with mechanical and robotics engineers to design the work cell layout for a specific task, keeping in mind the robot's reachability and cycle time
• Make any necessary design modifications on the robot end‑arm‑tool and part fixtures by working with mechanical engineers, and get parts fabricated, assembled, and tested
• Design, implement, and deploy robotic cells, systems, and components
• Setup and test the work cell on the customer task which includes the ability to install, troubleshoot, and maintain control components such as proximity sensors, relays, and vacuum ejectors
• Work with engineering and support firms
• Install and support robotic solutions
• Lead rigorous system testing practices
• Lead proof of concepts for customers
• Create documentation, manuals, and educational contents
