About the role

  • Establish scalable laboratory operations, including maintenance, calibration, inventory management, and facility readiness.
  • Foster a culture of safety, accountability, technical excellence, and continuous improvement across all test operations.
  • Strong operational mindset with experience managing complex laboratory or validation environments.

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

  • 10+ years of experience supporting product development, validation, reliability, or laboratory testing environments.
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Experience managing laboratory operations including calibration, preventive maintenance, spare parts, consumables, and equipment uptime.
  • Strong understanding of engineering drawings, test procedures, specifications, and structured root cause methodologies (A3, 8D, Fishbone, 5 Why).
  • Experience supporting robotics, automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, consumer electronics, or other complex electromechanical products.

Nice to have
