Research Engineer

We're looking for an inventor who builds. Someone who gets an unlikely idea on a weekend, tries it, watches it fail, notices something surprising in the wreckage, and follows that instead - all the way to a model, a dataset, a working robot, and a write-up anyone can reproduce. Research is the inventing half: finding the question nobody has asked, trying the unexpected method first, and building the evaluation that tells you the truth. Engineering is the making half: turning the idea into something that runs on a real robot, in a real home, fast enough that a person never notices the machinery.

Most people are strong at one. This role is for the person who can't stop doing both. It isn't bound to one discipline - the problem might be expressive motion this month, sensing or thermals next quarter, an inference stack or a new robot body after that. You'll work directly with the CEO and founding team, with real room to explore, on problems that ship to people's homes.
