We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

The Role

As a Systems Engineer on the Diagnostics Engineering team, you will lead efforts to diagnose robot failures across mechanical, electrical, and software domains. You'll develop tools and workflows that enable rapid and accurate failure assessments, and collaborate across teams to drive design improvements. This role is instrumental in enhancing system reliability and accelerating hardware development cycles.

You Will

• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, software, and controls failures, and document root causes

• Debug complex mechanical failures using engineering fundamentals such as drawings, mechanisms, tolerances, fits, inspection, and measurement techniques

• Use electrical and system-level instrumentation to investigate faults in robots and sub-components

• Develop test tools and scripts in C++ and Python to support diagnostics, integration, and data analysis

• Create clear reporting from diagnostic and fleet data to drive decision-making and track improvements

• Collaborate with prototyping and design engineers to iterate on hardware changes based on diagnostic findings

• Communicate design recommendations effectively to hardware, electrical, and controls teams
