We're hiring a Senior Prototype Engineer to join our Hardware team based in Boston. This is a hands-on role where you will rapidly iterate, assemble, diagnose, and evolve advanced robotic platforms for real-world use.
What you will do
- Lead troubleshooting and resolution of complex electrical issues in prototype humanoid robots, including operational and in-development systems; perform detailed failure analysis and share learnings with hardware/software engineering teams.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineers on prototype design, assembly, and bring-up, especially high-density electromechanical integrations.
- Create, maintain, and execute clear test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and repair runbooks for the prototyping lab to ensure high standards and rapid iteration cycles.
- Design, document, and iterate on cable assemblies, test jigs, and harnesses optimized for repeated use on dynamic robotic platforms.
- Identify and own opportunities for continuous process and product improvement—minimizing downtime and improving test/repair efficiency.
