Job description

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially‑scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha — our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots — and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About The Role

As a Senior Robotic Test Engineer at Humanoid, you will lead the testing, validation, and reliability assurance of advanced actuator systems, robotic mechanisms, grippers, and robotic hands used in our next‑generation humanoid and manipulation platforms. You will work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to develop robust test frameworks, build automated rigs, and execute functional, stress, and long‑term validation tests to ensure our robots perform reliably under real‑world conditions.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, plan, and execute test procedures for actuators, mechanisms, grippers, and robotic hands.
  • Build and maintain test fixtures and test rigs for dynamic and endurance testing.
  • Develop automated test systems (hardware + software) to validate motor performance, force output, back‑drivability, and safety limits.
  • Conduct lifecycle, stress, thermal, and environmental tests on components and subsystems.
  • Analyze test results, create test reports, and drive design feedback loops with engineering teams.
  • Collaborate with design engineers to define testable requirements, tolerances, and performance metrics.
  • Support incoming QC, assembly‑level verification, and field failure diagnostics.
  • Maintain test documentation, protocols, and results databases.
  • Work closely with control and firmware teams to evaluate actuator behavior in closed‑loop scenarios.

We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in robotic hardware testing, ideally in actuator or end‑effector validation.
  • Hands‑on experience with motor testing, force/torque sensors, encoders, and thermal monitoring.
  • Familiarity with data acquisition systems (DAQ) and tools such as LabVIEW, Python, or MATLAB.
  • Proficient with test automation frameworks and basic scripting (Python preferred).
  • Comfortable with mechanical tools, instrumentation, and prototyping in lab environments.
  • Strong understanding of safety testing, failure modes (FMEA), and reliability analysis.
  • Excellent documentation, communication, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with robotic grippers and multi‑DOF hands (tendon‑driven, underactuated, or force‑controlled).
  • Familiarity with torque control, backdrivable actuators, or custom brushless motor design.
  • Knowledge of EtherCAT, CAN, or other motion communication protocols.
  • Exposure to finite element analysis (FEA) or mechanical stress simulation.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan.
  • Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
  • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
  • Ability to solve some of the most complex systems engineering challenges in robotics.
  • Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.
  • Comprehensive extended health benefits starting on your first day, including fully paid medical and dental, virtual care, employee and family assistance, and worldwide emergency medical support.
  • Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in‑office.
