Senior Robotics Engineer

About Grafton Sciences

We’re building AI systems with general physical ability — the capacity to experiment, engineer, or manufacture anything. We believe achieving this is a key step towards building superintelligence. With deep technical roots and real-world progress at scale (e.g., a $42M NIH project), we’re pushing the frontier of physical AI. Joining us means inventing from first principles, owning real systems end-to-end, and helping build a capability the world has never had before.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer to design, build, and deploy advanced robotic systems for autonomous experimentation, assembly, and manipulation. You’ll work across kinematics, motion planning, perception integration, end-effector design, and force-control behaviors to create reliable, high-performance robotic capabilities. This role is for someone who thrives in full-stack robotics—deep technical ownership, rapid prototyping, and hands‑on system integration.

Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate motion planning, kinematics, control, and perception pipelines into robust robotic behaviors.
• Design, prototype, and refine end-effectors, tooling, and manipulation strategies for complex, real‑world tasks.
• Implement safety, calibration, and system‑level logic for reliable autonomous operation.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, automation, and AI / ML teams to bring robotic systems from concept to deployment.

Qualifications

Above all, we look for candidates who can demonstrate world‑class excellence.

Compensation

We offer competitive salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.
