Full Job Description

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further. ABOUT THE ROLE As the Lead Electrical Test Engineer on the Core Platform team in Boston, you will define and build the test and validation systems that ensure the reliability of Humanoid’s advanced robotic platforms. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on electrical integration, PCBA validation, and subassembly test at both the prototype and early production stages. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building robust test infrastructure, diagnosing complex hardware issues, and bridging the gap between design engineering and real-world system performance. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own Electrical Test Strategy & Infrastructure: define and implement test strategies for PCBAs and electrical subassemblies, covering bring-up, validation, regression, and production test. Build scalable, automated test systems to support rapid development and iteration. - Lead PCBA Bring-Up & Debug: drive board-level bring-up, validation, and failure analysis. Develop test procedures and fixtures to validate functionality, performance, and reliability of complex electrical designs. - Develop Automated Test Systems: design and build test frameworks using Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools to automate validation, data collection, and analysis across boards and subsystems. - Integration & System-Level Testing: work across electrical, firmware, and mechanical boundaries to validate integrated subsystems within robotic platforms. Debug issues spanning power, signal integrity, communication protocols, and embedded systems. - Design for Test (DFT) & Manufacturing Readiness: partner with design engineers to ensur
