Full Job Description
Join a small, high-impact team building the next generation of rotary actuators that will power every degree of freedom in our humanoid robots.
You'll own the mechanical design of high-performance electromechanical systems, pushing the limits of torque density, efficiency, manufacturability, reliability, and packaging.
This role spans the entire product lifecycle-from concept generation and rapid prototyping through testing, validation, and production-giving you end-to-end ownership of the hardware you create.
You'll work alongside experts in electrical engineering, motor design, controls, embedded systems, and manufacturing to develop tightly integrated actuator systems where every gram, millimeter, and watt matters.
As our actuator organization grows, you'll have the opportunity to help define new architectures, influence technical direction, and shape the future of one of the most critical technologies in humanoid robotics.
