About the role

The Quality & Reliability team spans Quality, Reliability, Compliance, Failure Analysis, and Test & Validation.
You feed production data back into the team so we continuously raise the bar on what leaves the floor.
Production line issues contained rapidly, with documented investigation records, clear escalation paths, and corrective actions that prevent recurrence

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.
