Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Open invitation for unconventional, hybrid thinkers to join Menlo Research's applied R&D lab building an open-source humanoid robot platform. Contributors work across hardware, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and software infrastructure, shipping to real robots, using AI as a collaborator, and thriving in fast-moving, high-performance teams.

Work end-to-end on real customer deployments of humanoid robots: diagnose field failures, collect and curate deployment data, design evaluations, fine-tune models, and turn one-off fixes into reusable research and product improvements while collaborating with core research and platform teams.

Own the product roadmap for Menlo Platform and adjacent infrastructure. Partner with autonomy, locomotion, and simulation teams to translate research and engineering needs into product priorities, define developer experience metrics, scope and deliver tooling, build documentation and release processes, engage external partners, and resolve cross-functional dependencies across software, hardware, and operations to enable robot deployment at scale.

Work with founders on fundraising, investor relations, partnerships, and M&A. Drive end-to-end fundraising processes, source and close commercial pilots and strategic deals, run financial modeling and diligence, and represent Menlo externally. Shape partnership offerings with product teams and synthesize market intelligence to inform strategic investments and acquisitions.

Own and evolve Menlo's hybrid cloud and on-prem platform: operate Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD/GitOps, observability, inference and training infrastructure, core platform services, identity/SSO, networking, and reliability/cost planning at scale.

Design, train, and evaluate multi-modal world models for a humanoid robot platform. Advance self-supervised visual and sensor representations, prototype generative/predictive architectures, own data pipelines, integrate research into real robots, and contribute to sim-to-real, inverse dynamics, and sensor fusion.

Lead Menlo's US marketing as the first marketing hire: set strategy and execute across brand, content, demand gen, community, and go-to-market. Define positioning for Asimov and Menlo Platform, grow presence on social and developer communities, produce multi-format content, drive lead generation and events, build press/analyst relationships, and set up scalable marketing automation.

Define and own the hardware roadmap for an open-source humanoid robot. Translate deployment and field learnings into hardware specs, drive development through DVT to production, coordinate supply chain and manufacturing, define quality metrics, and build scalable PM processes.
