Job Description

The Mission

At GRAM, we believe the next great leap for humanity will be physical, not digital. What AGI is to bits, Self-Replication (SR) is to atoms. As an SR research and deployment company, our mission is to make humanity galactic by enabling physical exponential growth. To achieve this, we are conducting foundational research across general-purpose robotics, artificial intelligence, biology, and materials science to enable SR within our lifetimes.

Our first step is to challenge the consensus that robots should look like us. We believe true progress comes from optimizing for function over form. We are creating a new embodiment for intelligence, designed from first principles to build the future physical economy, on and off-world.

The Role

A machine's body is only as capable as the mind that drives it. This role is for the engineers who breathe life into the hardware, teaching our Insectoid robot how to move, perceive, and act in the physical world. You will be responsible for creating the algorithms and software that form the robot's intelligence, from low-level motor skills to high-level reasoning.

This is an opportunity to solve foundational problems in AI and robotics on a novel morphology that has no precedent.You will work at the frontier of control theory, reinforcement learning, and computer vision to give our robot the ability to navigate and interact with complex, unstructured environments, creating the intelligent foundation for its ultimate mission.

Key Responsibilities :

Design and implement algorithms for complex, multi-agent coordination inspired by biological systems like ants,termites, and bees.

Develop a decentralized communication and planning framework that allows a swarm of robots to collaborate on large-scale construction and manipulation tasks.

Create systems for dynamic task allocation, allowing the fleet to adapt to changing environments and objectives.

Build simulations to study and develop emergent behaviors that arise from simple, locally-enforced rules.

Define and implement the initial coordination capabilities for small groups of 3-5 units, with a roadmap to scale to hundreds or thousands of agents.

About You

You are a first-principles thinker who is energized by solving problems that have no playbook. You are drawn to ambitious, long-term missions and want to build technology that fundamentally changes our physical capabilities. You thrive in a high-agency environment where you are given the ownership and resources to tackle core challenges.

Basic Qualifications :

MS in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field with 3+ years of experience in multi-agent systems or swarm robotics.

Expert proficiency in C++ and / or Python for developing and testing complex algorithms.

A strong foundation in distributed systems and algorithms.

Experience with multi-agent simulation environments and frameworks.

Preferred Qualifications :

A PhD with a focus on multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), swarm intelligence, or algorithmic game theory.

A track record of publications in top-tier robotics or AI conferences.

Experience deploying multi-robot systems on real hardware.

Expertise in optimization and graph theory.

Location

This is an on-site role at our research lab in El Segundo, California. We offer significant relocation assistance for exceptional candidates.

Interview Process

After submitting your application, we review your portfolio and any exceptional work you've shipped. If your application demonstrates the caliber we seek, you'll enter our interview process, which is designed for speed and substance. We aim to complete it within one week from start to finish.

Compensation

Your total compensation reflects both the significance of early-stage equity and competitive market rates. The following is the general framework for all roles at GRAM.

  • Company-Wide Base Salary Range : $75,000 - $300,000 USD, calibrated to your impact potential
  • Equity : Substantial ownership stake befitting founding team members
  • Benefits : Health, dental, and vision coverage; all meals are paid for; relocation assistance

GRAM is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate solely on capability and drive.

Why Join?

We are an early, focused team of scientists and engineers building the system that builds itself. GRAM is funded by leading investors and long-term visionaries. We operate without bureaucracy. Ownership and leadership flow to those who demonstrate exceptional capability, and every team member works directly on our core technology. We are based in El Segundo, the heart of America's industrial future, focused on solving one of the most important problems of our time.
