Before working for Epirus, Gray held several senior vice-presidential positions at Qualcomm. In those roles, he led engineering for IoT and connectivity business units, a job that saw him managing over 2000 engineers globally.

At different times earlier in his career, Gray held vice-presidential roles for Huawei U.S. and Nokia. He was a key figure in the research and development efforts of both companies.
