HardwareIntegrationEngineer

Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond. We operate at the cutting edge of embodied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems. You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better. Job Summary: Apptronik is seeking a Hardware Integration Engineer dedicated to the development and synthesis of our robotic end-effectors. The hands are the primary interface between our humanoid robot, Apollo, and the physical world. This role is highly interdisciplinary, sitting at the intersection of mechanical kinematics, embedded electronics, and grasping software. You will be responsible for bringing complex, highly articulated robotic hands from CAD to reality. This involves solving extreme packaging challenges, integrating sensors, routing delicate high-flex wire harnesses, and leading the electro-mechanical bring-up of the hand subsystem. You will ensure that all components works in perfect harmony to achieve human-level dexterity and robust industrial reliability. Key Responsibilities Hardware Bring-Up & Diagnostics: Own the initial power-on, functional check, and system diagnostics for new prototype hardware and assemblies. Quickly identify, diagnose, and resolve electrical and mechanical integration issues. System Calibration: Develop and execute procedures for hands calibration, including kinematic and dynamic calibration, to ensure the robot's hands model is precisely aligned with its software control stack. Component & Assembly Testing: Conduct verification tests at both the compon
