System Engineer - Humanoid (human)

The role

You will drive the development of the 4NE1 humanoid platform by translating requirements into system architecture and requirements. You will lead system-level integration and validation across mechanical, electronics, controls, AI, and software teams.

What you will do

• Translate customer, product, and business requirements into structured, traceable system requirements.
• Contribute to the definition of system architecture.
• Define system boundaries, interfaces, and subsystem responsibilities.
• Lead system-level integration and validation activities for humanoid capabilities.
• Define verification methods, acceptance criteria, and validation strategies.
• Establish and maintain requirements specs, architecture, interface definitions and traceability documentation.
• Contribute to technical reviews, design reviews, architecture reviews, and product lifecycle milestones.
• Support system integration from early prototypes through production-ready humanoid robots.
• Analyze system-level performance and coordinate root cause investigations.
• Support deployment of robotic systems in customer-facing or production environments.

Required qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Robotics, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
• Experience developing complex robotic systems in multidisciplinary environments or other related complex safety related autonomous systems.
• Solid understanding of system integration, lifecycle processes, and collaboration with architecture teams.
• Knowledge of robotics software frameworks and middleware.
• Expertise in requirements management and system architecture tools.
• Experience with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) for system architecture and traceability.
• Good grasp of mechatronic components, robotic hardware architecture, sensors and robotics software frameworks and middleware (e.g., ROS/ROS2 or similar).
• Experience with functional safety, cybersecurity, and certification standards relevant to robotics and mechatronics (e.g., ISO 13849, ISO 10218, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills in cross-functional teams.
• Comfortable working in agile or scaled development environments

Nice to have

• 3+ years of experience
