Senior Robotics Prototype Engineer

Description

• Lead troubleshooting and resolution of complex electrical issues in prototype humanoid robots, including operational and in-development systems; perform detailed failure analysis and share learnings with hardware/software engineering teams.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineers on prototype design, assembly, and bring-up, especially high-density electromechanical integrations.
• Create, maintain, and execute clear test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and repair runbooks for the prototyping lab to ensure high standards and rapid iteration cycles.
• Contribute to robust feedback loops across design, build, and test, driving first-pass yield and manufacturability.
• Design, document, and iterate on cable assemblies, test jigs, and harnesses optimized for repeated use on dynamic robotic platforms.
• Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics
• Identify and own opportunities for continuous process and product improvement—minimizing downtime and improving test/repair efficiency.

Requirements

• Experience designing for manufacturability and reliability in the context of human-sized or mobile robotics.
• Working knowledge of low-voltage and mixed-signal circuits, connectors, sensors, and compact electromechanical systems.
• Track record communicating concisely via documentation—procedures, test plans, diagnostics, and lessons learned.
• Comfortable in a high-velocity, high-ambiguity startup setting where priorities shift fast.
• Demonstrated experience in rapid physical prototyping, hands-on debug of custom hardware, and troubleshooting complex electrical systems in robotics or similar domains.
• Familiarity with automated test and diagnostic tools used in modern hardware labs.
• Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives
• Adept collaborating across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering boundaries to solve urgent, ambiguous issues.
• Prior mentoring or technical leadership responsibility within a prototyping or field engineering team.

Benefits
