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
