Technical Sales Representative

Summary Headquartered in sunny Los Angeles, GrayMatter Robotics is a well-capitalized AI robotics startup serving the manufacturing industry. We empower shop floor workers with our smart robots that assist with tedious and ergonomically challenging tasks, specifically in automated surface finishing. Our proprietary GMR-AI™ software is integrated with state-of-the-art industrial robots, sensors, and tools to create application-specific turnkey solutions for customers through a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. Role & Responsibilities As a Technical Sales Representative, you will drive growth by sourcing and closing opportunities within manufacturing facilities. You will focus on identifying "high-mix, high-variability" production lines where manual surface finishing is creating labor bottlenecks or quality issues.
