Chief of Staff

We’re MorphoAI, a venture-backed deep-tech company working to reinvent the way people engineer robots, heavy machinery, surgical devices, and other complex dynamical cyber-physical systems. We’re building a new AI-powered invention platform to allow anyone to build embodied intelligence faster, cheaper, and better. We're building hardware foundation models that plug directly into CAD. We are a team of passionate engineers, scientists and manufacturers that want to help shorten how long it takes to bring robots and machines to market. We are obsessed with technical problems and much as we are obsessed with customer problems. Our application areas are currently including robotic system integration, lab automation, industrial manufacturing, and dexterous manipulation. Founded by A prof. of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University and a serial founder. The founding team has MIT PhDs, Forbes u30, Harvard MBAs, and the team has worked at Amazon Robotics, Disney, and in CAD previously. We have an office in New York and London.

MorphoAI (YC + ARIA-backed, $6M+ pre-seed). I’m Ayna, I build 2 hardware companies before (last one is at Series B). My co-founder Andrew Spielberg is a professor of electrical engineering and robotics at Carnegie Mellon.

We’re building hardware foundation models that enable generation of manufacturing ready designs across a variety of hardware: robotics, aerospace, data centers, power equipment, and more. We're bringing to life 40+ papers written by the team at MIT and Harvard (differentiable simulation, gen-AI design, optimization co-design) to enable mechanical engineers to build more hardware designs. We're a team of 9 (2 MIT PhD; Forbes u30; serial founders; and much of our team comes from deploying hardware at Amazon Robotics), already doubled this year and looking to grow the team.

I'm hiring for a chief of staff, who will work directly with me on being a jack of all trades: strategy, ops, sales and marketing, whatever if the highest leverage thing for the business in that moment. The role is a little bit of everything, and you’ll see how decisions are made at the top. London based, in person with our team.

App is simple: what is one thing I should know about you? send us a message. It could be the most challenging think you’ve done, a view of the world that’s unique to you, or something that inspires you.

We use computational design and GenAI and Optimizaiton algorithms developed by the team during their time at MIT to bring this to life. the team has written more than 30 foundational papers on the space.

We're making it easy for engineers to generate 100s of designs and find the needle in the haystack with these algorithms in minutes, not years. We are starting out witha. focus on robotics and automation hardware.
