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 Self-Replication is to the physical world what AGI is to the digital: a foundational, recursively improving capability with a vast and undefined ceiling. The person in this role will not merely apply known principles; they are responsible for discovering the fundamental laws and architecting the core intelligence of this new paradigm. This is an opportunity to define a field. Your work will be to answer one of the most profound questions in technology: how does a system build a system? The scope of this question is not limited to a single machine. It encompasses the entire chain of logistics, energy, manipulation, and assembly required for a technological ecosystem to grow. Your research will form the bedrock upon which our engineering teams build the future, shaping not just our products, but the very economic and industrial logic of our expansion into the solar system. This role requires a unique combination of scientific rigor, strategic foresight, and architectural vision. We are looking for a singular mind to lead this charge, establishing a research program from the ground up with the resources and mandate to pursue a multi-decade mission that will alter the course of human history. Key Responsibilities: Architect the foundational thesis for Self-Replication at GRAM, creating the intellectual framework that distinguishes our pragmatic, systems-based approach from all other efforts in the field. Develop the physical genome for all GRAM hardware. This involves establishing the core design principles that ensure our systems are intrinsically capable of being built, assembled, and maintained by other machines. Lead the conceptual design of "GAIA," the governing intelligence for planetary scale industrial automation, resource allocation, and the expression of collective human ambition. Act as a key strategic partner to the CEO, translating the company's grand vision into an actionable, multi-decade technical roadmap. Serve as the company's foremost thought leader on SR, acting as a magnet for attracting a world class team of scientists and engineers. About You Your mind operates on two levels simultaneously. On one, you are a physicist and theorist, comfortable with the highest levels of abstraction in information theory, economics, and complex systems. On the other, you are a pragmatic systems thinker with an unnerving intuition for how the real world industrial machine, with all its constraints, inefficiencies, and gritty complexities, actually works. You are driven not just by the pursuit of knowledge, but by the desire to build the systems that will reshape civilization. You are not just a researcher; you are the architect of a new economic and industrial paradigm. Basic Qualifications: A PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline. A history of conceiving and driving forward large scale, open ended, and audacious projects, either in academia or industry. A demonstrable, deep understanding of complex systems, whether industrial, economic, or biological. The ability to create and communicate a compelling, long term technical vision. Preferred Qualifications: A body of work (publications, patents, or a portfolio of private projects) that points to a sustained intellectual obsession with large scale systems, automation, or the future of industrial technology. Experience in a strategic role that required bridging the gap between frontier R&D and practical engineering or business constraints. The ability to develop and defend a multi decade technical roadmap to investors, partners, and employees. A fundamental, first principles approach to problem solving that is not constrained by existing disciplines or dogma. Location This is an on-site role at our research lab in El Segundo, California.

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 At GRAM, our engineering is built on a foundation of scientific discovery. This role is for the scientists who work at the frontier, creating the fundamental breakthroughs that will enable our future technology. You will be responsible for tackling high-risk, high-reward challenges, transforming nascent scientific principles into tangible, ownable advantages that redefine what is possible. We are not building traditional hexapods; we are building a new class of machine inspired by the most successful and diverse life forms on our planet. Our robot's design is guided by the elegant solutions insects have evolved for locomotion, manipulation, and social coordination. This role is for a scientist who can look at an ant colony and see a blueprint for a distributed factory, or see in a praying mantis the inspiration for a new kind of manipulator. Your work will form the bedrock upon which our engineering teams build the future. This is a chance to establish the intellectual and scientific foundation of a new field of robotics, with the resources and mandate to pursue your curiosity in service of an ambitious, long-term mission. Key Responsibilities: Act as the company's chief biological architect, guiding the design of our robots by providing deep, actionable insights from the field of entomology and biomechanics. Translate the complex principles of insect locomotion, manipulation, and multi-agent social structures into clear engineering specifications, kinematic models, and control strategies. Establish and curate a foundational "Bio-Inspired Design Library" that will serve as the creative and technical wellspring for our engineering teams for years to come. Work as a deeply embedded, multi-disciplinary partner, joining design reviews, simulation sessions, and hardware tests to ensure our machines are not just insect-like, but embody the core efficiencies of their biological counterparts. Identify and de-risk the most promising avenues of bio-inspiration, guiding the company's R&D roadmap toward the highest-impact biological solutions. About You You are a first-principles thinker who finds equal beauty in the emergent behavior of an ant colony and the elegance of a well-defined control system. You are driven by a deep curiosity about the natural world and a palpable passion for applying that knowledge to create new technology. You thrive in a high-agency environment where you can chart the course of your own research in service of a mission that will change the world. Basic Qualifications: A PhD in Entomology, Zoology, Biomechanics, or a related field of biology. A proven track record of significant, original research in your area of expertise. A history of successful and enthusiastic cross-disciplinary collaboration with engineering, physics, or computer science teams. An innate ability to communicate complex biological concepts with clarity and passion to non-biologists. Preferred Qualifications: A recognized global expert in a relevant sub-field, such as insect biomechanics, swarm intelligence, or invertebrate neurobiology. Direct experience working in a biorobotics lab, with a portfolio of projects where biological insights led to novel engineering outcomes. A "full-stack" scientific capability, from field/lab experimentation to data analysis, computational modeling, and the presentation of engineering-relevant insights. An inventive, entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to see your life's work manifested in machines that will travel to other worlds. Location This is an on-site role at our research lab in El Segundo, California. We offer significant relocation assistance for exceptional candidates.
