- Turn field evidence into input for next-generation hardware design.
- Establish qualification, validation, and release practices.
- Perform root-cause analysis on actuator, encoder, thermal, and bus faults.
- Bench-test, rework, and repair actuators and electronics.
- Design and build fixtures, jigs, and brackets.
- Develop health metrics, alerting, and telemetry pipelines.
- Review PRs across firmware, control code, and deployment config.
- Write runbooks, SOPs, and incident reports.
Required qualifications
- 7+ years in robotics, mechatronics, hardware test, or reliability engineering.
- Significant time on fielded hardware.
- Track record of owning technical direction and influencing partner teams.
- Ability to tear down, repair, and re-commission electromechanical assemblies.
- Deep familiarity with actuator mechanical failure modes.
- Working knowledge of robot control.
- Fluency with quasi-direct-drive actuators, encoders, torque and current telemetry, CAN, and calibration and zeroing procedures.
- Strong Python for data analysis and tooling.
- Experience with Datadog or similar and PR-based workflows.
Nice to have
- Experience with teleoperation systems, VR interfaces, or data-collection fleets.
- Hardware qualification (EVT/DVT/PVT) or manufacturing and incoming test experience.
