The role

You will own the hardware and systems health of a humanoid robot fleet. You will set technical direction for fleet reliability, hardware qualification, calibration, and test infrastructure.

What you will do

  • Define and drive hardware reliability and integration priorities.
  • 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.
  • Experience as an early member of a hardware team or building a function from scratch.
  • MuJoCo simulation sanity-checking.
  • A track record of building tools and SOPs that other engineers actually adopt.
