Systems Engineer

GelSight is at the forefront of revolutionizing machine intelligence through the digitization of touch, a crucial frontier in advancing technology. Our pioneering platform sits at the intersection of key trends in metrology--3D surface characterization, and the digitization of tactile interactions. In an era where artificial intelligence strives to emulate human senses, GelSight is uniquely positioned to digitize the nuances of tactile perception, empowering industries to elevate product safety and user experience. From aerospace and automotive to forensics and energy, our technology promises to drive digital transformation, ensuring our customers' products are not just safer, but also more inherently human-centric.

Our company has recently received recognition for its innovation in tactile intelligence from Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech, BostInno- Innovation On Fire, and the Massachusetts Innovation Network Eddies Awards.”  GelSight continues to hit new milestones with the recent launch our GelSight Max putting a “lab in the palm of your hand”.
