About the role

We're scaling from prototypes to manufacturing, and the process maturity needs to match.
You'll be the bridge between our secure boot/firmware teams and the cloud control plane, connecting them at the point of manufacture.

Design the secure manufacturing station - Architect the hardware, software, and network stack for factory floor provisioning stations (HSM, key injection, AWS Private CA, secure boot fuse programming).
Build the provisioning toolchain - Own the automation pipeline that takes a bare device through identity provisioning, firmware flashing, calibration, and functional test.
Maintain chain of custody - Link each physical serial number to its provisioned identity, calibration records, test results, and firmware version at manufacture.
Collaborate across teams - Work daily with a globally distributed team of firmware, cloud, manufacturing, systems and operational team members.
EOL test and calibration - Hands-on experience defining manufacturing test specifications, building automated fixtures, and managing quality gates with contract manufacturers.
Scripting and automation - Advanced skills in Python or Bash for developing production-grade provisioning toolchains.
That's why we've set out on a mission to build the world's most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots.
Own the EOL test specification -
Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.

10+ years of experience in embedded systems, device security, or manufacturing engineering, with at least 3 years focused on secure device provisioning and/or secure manufacturing processes.
And ideally 3 years in a Staff level role.
Experience with X.509 certificate lifecycles, mTLS, device attestation and managed CA services like AWS Private CA.
Experience with NVIDIA Jetson Orin/Thor platforms.

Comprehensive health coverage for US‑based employees, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, with virtual care and employee assistance resources.
Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of PTO (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid company holidays.
401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
Equity included-we believe builders should share in what they build.
Own the EOL test specification - Work with peer teams to define pass/fail criteria for devices leaving the line: sensor calibration, actuator checks, secure boot verification, and initial OTA health check.

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential.
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.
