Automation Hardware & Software Integration Engineer

Who should join

• You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.
• You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.
• You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in. We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.
• You care about aesthetics and design inside out. If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to “fix” it.
• You don't need someone to motivate you; you get things done.

Why We Are Hiring for This Role

• Lead and support software bring-up for new robot hardware, including sensors, actuators, and embedded systems.
• Integrate and validate firmware, middleware, and control software modules on humanoid platforms.
• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks for software validation,
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing for actuators, and end-of-line manufacturing tests.
• Design and execute functional and performance tests across locomotion, perception,
• manipulation, and other robotic subsystems.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to debug system-level issues.
• Build tools and infrastructure to monitor robot behavior, collect logs, and track test results.
• Document integration and test procedures and contribute to internal best practices for continuous testing and deployment.

What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:

• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across hardware and software interfaces
• Proficient in Java & Python.
• Familiarity with manufacturing test systems and end-of-line testing processes.
• Experience with real-time systems, and embedded device communication (e.g., EtherCat, CAN, I2C, SPI, UART).
• Familiarity with test automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).
• Experience working with humanoid or legged robots.
• Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and real-time test frameworks.
• Background in fast-paced startups or hardware prototyping environments
• 4-5+ years of work experience in robotics software integration, embedded systems, or test automation.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.

Benefits:

We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

Salary:

The annual compensation is expected to be between $135,000 - $160,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
