GrayMatter Robotics is a company that solves the most difficult surface treatment and finishing challenges faced by high-mix, high-variability manufacturers. Backed by NGP Capital.
About the role
Own end-to-end delivery of a multi-year, defense-scale manufacturing build-out, including standing up the physical facility itself (permitting, layout, and utilities), through to full production qualification. Coordinate ongoing production operations once qualified, not just the qualification milestone itself, so output stays on schedule as volume scales.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering field, or equivalent professional engineering experience
- 10+ years of experience in program or project management within complex, highly regulated engineering environments such as aerospace, automotive, maritime, or defense
- Demonstrated experience standing up new production capability, not just managing an existing line
- Proven track record managing executive-level and cross-organizational stakeholder relationships
- Ability to operate with significant ambiguity and evolving scope, and to turn that ambiguity into a clear, sequenced plan
- Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across multiple teams
More about this role
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.
GMR is standing up one of the most ambitious builds in company history: a largely autonomous manufacturing facility supporting a major U.S. shipbuilding program, scaling from small components today to structures up to 50 feet across within two years. This role is the single point of continuity across...
