AI Research Intern: Foundation Models

GrayMatter Robotics · Product & Engineering

Pay: $40 – $50 per hour
Where: Los Angeles - HQ
Posted: Aug 26

Summary

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.

What you'd do

Work with the Special Projects AI team to work on next generation of foundation models that power GrayMatter Robotics Solutions (FSI)
Take on real, complex, ambiguous problems and work through them on accelerated timelines, largely independently
Develop foundation models for high precision manufacturing applications with multi-modal data beyond Vision or Force alone
Validate models through rigorous testing on real world industrial robots and actual production parts
Own the entire project lifecycle: data curation, simulation, model training, evaluation and robot deployment
Write maintainable, production quality code for internal R&D
Currently pursuing (remotely) a PhD in Robotics, AI, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related fields
Research experience in Foundation Models for robot manipulation applications
Proficiency in Python and at least one deep learning framework: PyTorch is preferred
Strong working knowledge and deep understanding of current World Models and Foundation Model Research
