Robotics Engineer, Humanoid System Integration (Humanoid Robotics)

Location: Irvine, California, United States; on-site

Company

Builds risk-aware, reliable, field-ready embodied AI systems for real-world robotic deployments.

What you will do

• Integrate humanoid subsystems into reliable full-stack robot systems running on physical hardware.
• Define and maintain interfaces across autonomy, manipulation, locomotion, sensors, compute, controls, and field tools.
• Own robot bring-up, calibration, configuration, diagnostics, and validation workflows.
• Debug system-level issues involving software, hardware, networking, timing, compute constraints, sensor data, and robot behavior.
• Develop integration tests, regression tests, telemetry tools, dashboards, and release-readiness checks.
• Partner with manipulation, hardware, QA/QC, field application, and service teams to keep humanoid platforms shippable.

Requirements

• Background appropriate for a junior-to-mid engineer; fresh MS and PhD graduates are welcome.
• Hands-on experience integrating robotic systems on real physical hardware; simulation-only experience is not considered.
• Strong C++ and Python skills in Linux-based robotics environments.
• Experience with ROS or ROS2, robot middleware, drivers, calibration, diagnostics, logging, and distributed systems.
• Understanding of perception, planning, controls, locomotion, manipulation, sensor integration, and embedded compute constraints.
• Ability to profile performance, isolate failures, define interfaces, and coordinate across technical teams.

Nice to have

• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience integrating a humanoid or legged/mobile manipulation platform from bring-up through field deployment.
• Experience building calibration pipelines, regression harnesses, telemetry dashboards, or release gates.

Culture & Benefits

• Work directly with physical robots, real sensors, and field deployments.
• Develop systems that are tested on hardware and improved through real-world operation.
• Collaborate across manipulation, hardware, QA/QC, field application, and service teams.
• Work in Irvine, located within Southern California's robotics ecosystem.
