As a Research and Development Engineer, you play a leading role in advancing our next-generation humanoid robotics systems. Reporting to our Principal Research Scientist, you are responsible for developing high-performance technologies that integrate mechanical, electrical, and fluidic systems under demanding physical constraints.

You contribute across the full R&D lifecycle, from early-stage design and simulation through prototyping, validation, and integration into complex robotic platforms. Your work enables lifelike motion through compact actuator systems and precision mechanisms, requiring deep technical fluency and systems-level thinking.

You collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in AI, embedded systems, and controls to solve engineering challenges that have no off-the-shelf solutions. You also serve as a technical mentor within the team, and play a key role in setting standards for quality, documentation, and repeatability as we scale.
