Robotics Software Engineer: Government Projects
Job description
The Robotics Software Engineer: Government Projects will enable project success by leading the implementation of innovative robotic manufacturing systems that go beyond GMR's current product offerings. This role is for someone who thinks outside the box and wants to push the limits of what our systems can do, working across a mix of R&D software feature development and hands-on delivery for proof of concepts, pilot demonstrations and specialized systems.
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.
Job responsibilities
- Develop and implement algorithms, systems, and architecture for high-DOF robotic systems working in manufacturing environments.
- Partner with Systems and Applications Engineers to define robotics software feature requirements needed for non-standard and R&D projects
- Execute proof-of-concept projects that demonstrate the capabilities of GrayMatter Robotics' (GMR) robotic technologies
- Stay up to date with new research and novel findings in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
- Test and evaluate current state-of-art algorithms and techniques of planning, learning, perception, and control.
- Collaborate with the Robotics Software team to maintain coding best practices and standards, so R&D prototypes can transition smoothly into the product codebase
- Will be responsible for maintaining any software features and versioning for systems deployed to govt facilities.
- Rapidly modify and iterate on the current software stack
Job requirements
- Master’s degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering or related engineering field
- 2+ years of demonstrated industry experience in developing, implementing, and testing algorithms for planning/learning/perception/control.
- Software development for complex function-based software that interacts with sensor inputs, control loops, and redundancy.
- Proficiency in C++ and Python production-level coding.
- Proficiency in working with ROS2 and other open-source libraries relevant to robotics.
- Excellent technical and analytical skills.
- 4+ years of production deploying complex robotics systems
- Experience with R&D of robotics systems
