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 toward building superintelligence. With deep technical roots and real-world progress at scale (for example, a $42 million NIH program), 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.

• Lead external engagement with investors, advising on capital strategy and preparation.
• Own commercial development, including early customer programs and business growth.
• Oversee business operations, finance, legal, and contracting processes as the company scales.
• Operate as a generalist and support any mission-critical business needs in a fast-moving environment.
Qualifications
• Strong network across industry and investment communities.
• Proven ability to lead commercial or strategic functions at high-growth or frontier-tech companies.
• Experience managing partnerships, customer programs, or strategic initiatives with senior stakeholders.
