Our client is building rugged, multi-purpose humanoid robots designed to do real work. The founders have decades of experience in humanoid robotics, bionics, and product development-with hardware that’s been to space, explored the ocean floor, and entertained millions at Disney Parks. Their mission: ship beautiful, reliable robots at scale.
We’re looking for exceptional engineers who dream big, thrive on challenges, and love bringing ideas to life.
Your Impact
- Develop advanced manipulation algorithms for multi-fingered humanoid hands.
- Build and optimize the full manipulation pipeline—perception, grasping, motion planning, and control.
- Tackle complex tasks like dual-arm and in-hand manipulation.
- Implement robust force/motion control and integrate with whole-body locomotion.
- Test in both simulation (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim) and real-world environments.
- Collaborate with ML and vision teams to push the boundaries of dexterous robotics.
What We’re Looking For
- BS/MS/PhD in Robotics, CS, or related field.
- 7+ years experience (5+ with advanced degree) in robot control/manipulation.
- Strong foundation in motion planning, control theory, and optimization.
- Proven work on dexterous manipulation tasks (pick-and-place, door opening, etc.).
- Proficient in C++, Python, ROS, and modern robotics libraries (MoveIt!, Drake, etc.).
- Bonus: experience with tactile sensing, deep learning for manipulation, or publications in top robotics venues.
