About the role

  • This role is highly cross-functional and deeply technical, sitting at the intersection of hardware engineering, manufacturing operations, and product reliability.
  • Analyze production and test station data to identify yield loss drivers, recurring failures, and opportunities for corrective action

Responsibilities

  • We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back.
  • NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.
  • We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field
  • 3+ years of experience supporting electromechanical hardware testing or manufacturing quality environments
  • Experience with PFMEA, Gage R&R, DOE, and statistical analysis methodologies
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret production data and identify actionable trends

Skills

  • Familiarity with scalable manufacturing test systems across multiple production sites
  • Exposure to startup or fast-paced hardware development environments
  • Strong technical documentation and process development capability

Compensation

  • $90,000-$150,000 per year

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
  • Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
  • Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support

Company info

  • Develop and implement manufacturing quality strategies that improve system reliability, production readiness, and test coverage
  • Lead PFMEA and failure analysis activities that reduce manufacturing escapes and improve process robustness
  • Partner with Test, Firmware, and Design Engineering teams to integrate scalable quality checks into manufacturing workflows
  • Drive DOE and validation activities that improve test accuracy, pass/fail thresholds, and production consistency across manufacturing sites
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing quality systems for electromechanical hardware products
  • We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
