About the role
Job Description
We are seeking a talented Humanoid Engineer to join our team to design, develop, and enhance next-generation humanoid robots. You will work cross-functionally to push the boundaries of robotics technology and create intelligent machines that interact seamlessly with humans in real-world environments.
Responsibilities
- Design, prototype, and test humanoid robotic systems, including mechanical, electrical, and software components.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to define and refine system architecture, functions, and features for humanoid robots.
- Develop and implement control algorithms for dexterous manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction.
- Integrate sensors, perception systems, and AI modules to enable robust operation in dynamic environments.
- Perform simulation, validation, and iterative optimization to improve performance, safety, and reliability.
- Document designs and results, working closely with manufacturing and field support teams to ensure successful deployment.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience developing robotics systems, ideally focusing on humanoid or anthropomorphic designs.
- Strong knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, and robot control (movement, balance, and manipulation).
- Hands-on experience with mechatronics, embedded systems, and sensor integration.
- Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in robotics (e.g., C++, Python, ROS).
- Familiarity with AI, machine learning, and perception for robotics applications is a plus.
- Creative problem-solver with attention to detail and a passion for building impactful technologies.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and stock options
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Flexible work environment
- Opportunities for advancement and professional growth
- Work on groundbreaking technologies with a world-class team
