About Grafton Sciences
We’re building AI systems with general physical ability — the capacity to experiment, engineer, or manufacture anything. We believe achieving this is a key step towards building superintelligence. With deep technical roots and real-world progress at scale (e.g., a $42M NIH project), we’re pushing the frontier of physical AI. Joining us means inventing from first principles, owning real systems end-to-end, and helping build a capability the world has never had before.
About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Perception / Vision Engineer to develop high-performance sensing, calibration, and perception systems for advanced robotics and automated hardware. You’ll build camera pipelines, inspection routines, pose-estimation algorithms, and multimodal sensor integrations that enable precise manipulation, alignment, and verification in real-world environments. This role blends classical computer vision, geometric reasoning, sensor physics, and hands-on engineering.
Responsibilities
• Build and integrate camera pipelines, perception modules, calibration routines, and pose-estimation systems.
• Develop inspection, alignment, and vision-based verification tools for robotic assembly and precision automation.
• Fuse multimodal sensors (vision, depth, force, tactile, etc.) into reliable perception and measurement workflows.
• Work closely with robotics, controls, mechanical, and systems integration teams to deliver robust, real-time perception in deployed hardware.
Qualifications
• Strong experience building perception or vision systems for robotics, automation, or real-world sensing applications.
• Expertise in camera calibration, pose estimation, geometric vision, and sensor integration.
• Hands-on experience with real hardware — tuning lighting, selecting optics, debugging sensor noise, and validating pipelines.
• Comfortable working across disciplines to deliver reliable perception in complex, fast-moving engineering environments.
Above all, we look for candidates who can demonstrate world-class excellence.
Compensation
We offer competitive salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.

What We Do
Grafton Sciences (formerly, Grafton Biosciences) is pioneering physical general intelligence, autonomous systems that merge artificial intelligence, robotics, and reasoning to accelerate scientific discovery.
By designing platforms for autonomous discovery, we aim to solve the grandest challenges across science. As part of our ongoing initiatives in disease, we have received a $42.5 million contract from ARPA-H to solve early detection of cancer at Stage 1.
Backed by visionary partners, we are redefining how discovery itself is done.
