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
