Join our team as a Systems Integration Engineer specializing in the Hand Subsystem of our humanoid robot. In this role, you will integrate multi-DOF robotic hands with the humanoid control stack, develop calibration strategies, and debug performance issues. You will collaborate with various teams, including design, firmware, software, and AI, to ensure the successful integration of algorithms and embedded systems. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Controls Engineering, Robotics, or a related field is required, along with 5+ years of hands-on experience in robotic or electromechanical systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own calibration strategies and end-of-line bring-up, create and implement design-validation and production-scale test plans for hand subsystems.
  • Collaborate across disciplines, work with design, firmware, software and AI teams to integrate algorithms, embedded systems and behaviors.

Requirements

  • Integrate multi-DOF robotic hands with the humanoid control stack, plan and execute behaviors to validate motion, sensing and control at the system level.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Controls Engineering, Robotics or a related field
  • Skilled with lab equipment for validation and software debugging
  • Proven experience integrating sensors, and control tuning of motion systems
  • Strong understanding of mechanics, kinematics, controls, dynamics and sensor technologies

Resilient and effective in fast-paced, challenging environments

  • 5+ years of hands‑on experience working on robotic or electromechanical systems with a focus on actuation, manipulation or integration
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for embedded development and diagnostics
  • Familiarity with Linux‑based development environments
  • Prior work on robotic hands actuation systems or multi DOF systems
  • Proficiency with Matlab/Simulink
  • Working knowledge of communication buses and protocols like Ethernet, Ethercat, Serial, SPI and I2C
  • Expertise in CAD to collaborate with design teams
