Hardware, Special Projects Lead

The role

You will create new ways to capture the physical experience robots need to learn. You will turn hardware concepts into complete systems through validation, manufacturing, and deployment at scale.

What you will do

• Translate user needs and technical goals into clear product requirements and measurable acceptance criteria.
• Choose system architectures and build prototypes that test the hardest assumptions early.
• Lead technical reviews and resolve problems across mechanics, electronics, sensing, and software using experiments and measurements.
• Work with suppliers and deployment teams to turn validated prototypes into reproducible hardware that performs reliably in the field.

Required qualifications

• Experience taking a complete hardware or robotics system from early prototypes through validation and deployment.
• Deep hands-on expertise in mechanical design, electronics, embedded software, or another core hardware discipline.
• Ability to define product requirements and make system tradeoffs involving performance, cost, power, reliability, and manufacturing.
• Strong experimental, integration, and debugging skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with precision tracking, synchronized sensor systems, or moving research hardware into production.
