Sr.HardwareValidationEngineer

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.

This is a foundational, hands-on role: you will not just run tests; you will build the rigs that run them. You will be the engineer who walks into a conversation with a systems owner, leaves with a clear picture of what needs to be tested and what equipment that requires, then turns around and gets it built — sourcing parts, designing mechanical and electrical components, and commissioning the rigs on the validation floor.   WHAT YOU'LL DO TEST RIG & JIG ARRANGEMENT (CORE FOCUS) - In-House Validation Rigs: Lead the arrangement of test rigs and jigs for in-house validation of subsystems and full robots. You decide what gets built, what gets bought, and how they integrate into the validation workflow. - Test Rig Development: Design and build custom mechanical jigs and fixtures to stress-test specific sub-systems (e.g., repeating arm movements, actuator loading, cable flexing, end-effector cycling). - Commissioning: Bring each rig from a CAD model to a working setup on the floor — wiring, instrumentation, data capture, and first article validation. 2.
