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. We hire people who want to solve hard physical problems at an industrial scale.

Role & Responsibilities

As a Project Coordinator, you will join our Aerospace & Defense team onsite in our Carson, CA office to keep aerospace and defense robot cell projects moving from design through deployment and activation:

Robot cell design

Maintain the project schedule, milestone tracker, and action log for each robot cell design effort, in close coordination with the Project Lead Engineer

Organize design reviews, capture decisions and open items, and follow up until each item closes

Track customer requirements, part and process specifications, and change requests, and keep revision control on shared documentation

Coordinate with mechanical, controls, software, and process engineers so that inputs arrive when the final design needs to be locked in

Deployment

Manage procurement tracking, supplier lead times, and delivery status for cell components, tooling, fixtures, and safety hardware

Plan shipping, receiving, and site logistics, including customs and export documentation handled with GMR compliance

Build and maintain installation plans, site readiness checklists, and travel schedules for the deployment team

Serve as a point of contact for customer facilities, security, and EHS teams on access, badging, and scheduling

Activation

Prepare commissioning and acceptance test plans with the Project Lead Engineer, and track each step through completion

Record punch list items, test results, and customer sign offs, and assemble the turnover package

Coordinate operator training sessions and handoff to GMR support teams for ongoing service

Project administration

Prepare weekly status reports covering schedule, budget, risks, and decisions needed, for GMR leadership and customer stakeholders

Track project budgets, purchase orders, and invoicing milestones with Finance

Maintain a risk and issue register and raise schedule or scope concerns early

Own deadline tracking for each project: monitor milestone and deliverable dates, escalate at risk items to the Project Lead Engineer promptly, and drive follow up so commitments to customers are met

Apply ITAR and customer information handling requirements to every document, file, and communication

Export Control Requirements

In order to comply with the export regulations of the United States Government, it is required that the applicant must fall under one of the following categories: (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident (i.e. current green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, manufacturing operations, supply chain, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Experience supporting robotics, automation, or capital equipment installations from design through commissioning

2 to 4 years of complex project coordination, program support, or project management experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, industrial automation, or construction

Demonstrated record of meeting deadlines, including tracking milestones, flagging risks early, and following up until work is delivered

Working knowledge of project scheduling and tracking tools such as ClickUp, MS Project, or Smartsheet, plus strong Excel skills
