Manufacturing EngineerManufacturing & Production

We’re an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general-purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.

We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.

We’re looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI. If this mission excites you, we’d be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.

The Senior Harness Manufacturing Engineer will own the full lifecycle of wiring systems that bring every subsystem of a humanoid robot to life, managing the process from the first prototype through to high-volume production. A primary goal is to turn complex harness designs and engineering specifications into consistent, repeatable assembly processes that can scale across thousands of robots.
