About The Position
We are building humanoid robots that work in the home, doing chores, handling tasks, and giving people their time back. This role transforms ambitious ideas into refined, real-world products. We're seeking someone who takes pride in building things that work beautifully, fit together precisely, and solve real problems. Operating at the intersection of engineering, fabrication, and product development, the ideal candidate is equally comfortable sketching concepts, cutting and bonding materials, and resolving manufacturing challenges alongside a cross-functional team. You'll guide softgoods products from early proof-of-concept through production ramp, applying technical rigor and a strong commitment to craft at every stage. This is a fully on-site role, as the best work in this field happens collaboratively—hands on materials, ideas advancing quickly.
