Design, implement, and test C++ middleware for autonomous humanoid robots, providing system-wide functionality for controls and autonomy software. Develop Python tooling and interfaces, and improve software stability, scalability, testing, and CI. The role requires strong C++, Python, Linux, networking, computer architecture, debugging, and performance-profiling skills, with bonus experience in real-time systems, microcontrollers, and communication buses.

Plan and lead humanoid robot deployment use cases, build and execute operational and testing plans, and drive product and feature improvements using field feedback. The role owns workflows, roadmaps, team strategy, and customer-facing deployment execution while coordinating high-pressure, hands-on technology development and testing.

Own supply chain readiness tools covering sourcing status, tooling and NRE milestones, build cost baselines, supplier capacity, scorecards, and quote analysis. Maintain trackers, support vendor onboarding and negotiations, and lead the build kickoff readiness review. Requires advanced Excel, SQL or Python, hardware supply chain knowledge, and strong process documentation skills.

Design and release PCB layouts for critical humanoid robot hardware from initial placement through production. Prepare fabrication and assembly files, manage vendor DFx reports and external layout contractors, and collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineers. The role requires expertise in Altium, power converters, flex and HDI designs, manufacturing yield, electrical rules, EMI/EMC, PCB materials, and stackups. Bonus experience includes high-speed and RF design, simulation tools, high-voltage compliance, advanced PCB technologies, and PLM systems.
