- Ability to fuse multiview 2D and 3D sensor data into aligned point clouds or meshes.
- Hands-on experience with hardware vision sensors and integration into existing software stacks.
- Familiarity with machine learning and deep learning for image and point-cloud processing.
- Experience architecting perception pipelines that combine classical 3D geometry with ML/DL approaches.
- Strong ML/DL background in image segmentation, 3D point-cloud semantic and instance segmentation, defect detection, and learned geometry-based methods.
- Experience designing and deploying multisensor fusion frameworks involving calibration, synchronization, and camera-output merging.
- Ability to lead hardware-software integration and ensure deployment robustness.
- Preferred qualifications include an advanced degree and 5+ years of experience deploying production software systems.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Unlimited paid time off.
- 401(k) plan with employer match.
- Regular offsite events and a discretionary productivity-enhancement fund.
- Onsite work at the Carson, California office with travel to client locations as needed.
About GrayMatter Robotics
GrayMatter Robotics builds AI-driven robotic cells that handle surface treatment and finishing for high-mix, high-variability manufacturers. Its systems learn and adapt to part geometries and materials and are offered through a Robots-as-a-Service subscription that converts capex to opex. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the privately held company deploys production-floor solutions that assist workers on tedious or ergonomically challenging processes.
