About Grafton Sciences We’re building physical general intelligence — autonomous systems that can experiment, reason, and discover in the physical world. 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.
Qualifications
Above all, we look for candidates who can demonstrate world-class excellence. Compensation We offer competitive salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.
