Head of Robotics System Engineering, Humanoid Team

Requirements

• Professional Experience
• ○ Experience of leading multi‑disciplinary robotics software or systems‑engineering teams (or equivalent tech‑lead experience with clear people‑management potential).
• ○ Demonstrated P&L or budget responsibility for production‑grade robotic system programs.
• ○ Proven track record of shipping complex robotics software (beyond PoC) that operates reliably in real‑world customer environments.
• Technical Skills
• ○ Expert in ROS 2 ecosystem (ros2_control, rclcpp, DDS, MoveIt 2).
• ○ Deep understanding of embedded control (BLDC FOC, PID), real‑time Linux, and deterministic field‑bus protocols (CAN‑FD, RS‑485 and common embedded protocols for sensors).
• ○ Strong background in distributed systems, networking (gRPC, WebRTC, RTSP)
• ○ Proficiency in C++ and Python
• ○ Familiarity with functional‑safety design patterns, formal verification, and cybersecurity hardening.
• Soft Skills & Culture Fit
• ○ Ownership mentality - takes responsibility for outcomes and proactively solves problems.
• ○ User‑centric mindset - balances technical elegance with customer value and operational practicality.
• ○ Comfortable in a high‑performance, high‑accountability culture (strong upside for results; demotion for under‑performance).

Additional Information

Position Summary As the Head of Robotics System Engineering, Humanoid Team, you will own both the strategic leadership and hands‑on engineering of the full‑stack software platform that powers our general‑purpose humanoid robots - initially focused on a dual‑arm mobile manipulator and expanding to humanoids. You will translate ambitious product goals into a scalable, safety‑certified architecture that spans everything from low‑level motor control loops to cloud‑connected autonomy services. You will scale the systems‑engineering organization from advanced prototype through volume production, combining team‑building, budget oversight, supplier strategy, and product‑lifecycle management with deep individual technical contributions. [IMPORTANT] Application & Evaluation To help us evaluate your candidacy effectively, please provide detailed evidence of past robotics system designs that demonstrate your ability to deliver production‑quality, safety‑critical software for humanoid or mobile manipulation platforms. Submitting generic or unrelated work (e.g., "I have extensive cloud experience - trust me") will not suffice. ・Portfolio or Video Demonstrations - Include links to repositories, architecture diagrams, or demo videos showcasing your work. ・Relevant Explanations - Describe project scope, your specific contributions, key technical challenges (e.g., real‑time control, teleop integration), and how your solutions met cost, reliability, and scalability targets. Applications consisting solely of a standard resume without addressing these points will not proceed in our selection process. We look forward to reviewing concrete evidence of your expertise in designing and leading full‑stack robotics systems for humanoid robots.
