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.
