About the role

  • Work with the customer to learn about the manufacturing process and requirements, including observing the current process, taking measurements, collecting existing process data, CAD, and machine documentation
  • Configure GMR-AI to generate tool paths and trajectories for robotic paint operations
  • Develop OLP/coverage models (e.g., RobotStudio Paint, Tecnomatix), including film-build/thickness simulation and coverage & cycle-time optimization
  • Work with mechanical and robotics engineers to design and develop the work cell for a specific task, keeping in mind the robot's reachability, coverage on part, and cycle time
  • Make any necessary design modifications on the robot end-of-arm-tool and part fixtures by working with mechanical engineers, and get parts fabricated, assembled, and tested
  • Design, implement, and deploy robotic cells, systems, and components
  • Install, troubleshoot, and maintain control components such as proximity sensors, relays, and vacuum ejectors
  • Develop process recipes for a consistent outcome
  • Work with engineering and support firms
  • Lead rigorous system testing practices
  • Lead proof of concepts for customers
  • Create documentation, manuals, and educational contents
  • Developing new applications using GrayMatter technologies and solutions
  • Work with the product and engineering teams to improve the customer experience
  • Participate in business proposal writing
  • Travel may be required up to 20% of the time

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Robotics, Mechanical Engineer, Computer Science or related field
  • 5+ years of industry experience within manufacturing automation, cyber-physical systems or similar

  • Preferred: Experience with ROS and Linux environments
  • Preferred: Experience in process engineering within a manufacturing environment
  • Preferred: Hands-on experience with 1K/2K/3K mixing/proportioning, color-change manifolds, fluid delivery/circulation systems, and electrostatic rotary bells vs. spray guns
  • Preferred: Familiarity with hollow-wrist routing, 7th-axis variants, and similar reachability optimization techniques
  • Preferred: Experience with EH&S Code and compliance such as NFPA 33/OSHA 1910.107 alignment, fire protection, and mix-room limits
  • Preferred: Experience working with the Navy and/or other branches of the government to apply paint while meeting government standards
  • Preferred: Integrate with PLCs and safety (e.g., AB/Siemens; SafeMove/DCS) for booth/oven/air-handler interfaces and LOTO procedures
