Industry

Description
The Mission: Enable Global Abundance Matter is building the world’s first network of autonomous factories. We are moving beyond static, hard-coded automation. We view the factory as a singular, distributed robotic system powered by Physical AI. We aren't fixing legacy systems; we are building an AI-native manufacturing stack from the ground up to solve America’s supply chain and labor constraints. The Challenge: Moving Atoms Most AI happens behind a screen. At Matter, your code moves atoms. You will bridge the Sim-to-Real gap in high-throughput environments where latency and safety are non-negotiable. Technical Frontiers You will Lead •⁠ ⁠Foundation Models for Physics: Building models that understand material properties and assembly logic. •⁠ ⁠Multi-Agent Symphony: Coordinating robots, conveyors, and tools for non-linear assembly. •⁠ ⁠Sub-millimeter Precision: Vision-driven state estimation in "messy" real-world environments. •⁠ ⁠The Data Flywheel: Turning every "failed" grasp into training data that makes the global network smarter. •⁠ ⁠Zero-Touch NPI: Enabling factories to re-program themselves for new products in hours, not months. What You will Own •⁠ ⁠The AI Roadmap: Define the boundary between classical control and end-to-end neural networks. •⁠ ⁠The Physical AI Stack: Architecting everything from edge-sensing to real-time control. •⁠ ⁠Team Building: Recruiting a "Special Forces" team of robotics and systems engineers. •⁠ ⁠Production Outcomes: Owning Yield, Throughput, and Uptime. Who You Are •⁠ ⁠A "First Principles" Builder: You value shipping production code over publishing research papers. •⁠ ⁠Deep Domain Expertise: Proven track record in Robotics, RL, CV, or Autonomous Systems (AVs/UAVs). •⁠ ⁠Hardware Intuition: You understand that AI is only as good as the hardware it controls. •⁠ ⁠Leadership Grit: You’ve survived the "trough of disillusionment" in hardware-software deployments. Why Matter? •⁠ ⁠AI-Native from Day Zero: No legacy baggage. We are designing AI-native hardware and infrastructure from day zero. •⁠ ⁠Battle-Tested Team: We’ve built world-class factories for the last decade. •⁠ ⁠"Lead Bullets" Philosophy: No silver bullets. We win through relentless, compounding technical victories. •⁠ ⁠True Impact: Lowering the cost of goods and re-industrializing America.
Responsibilities
You will define the AI roadmap and architect the Physical AI stack while leading a team of robotics and systems engineers. You will also own production outcomes, including yield, throughput, and uptime.
