Provides technical leadership, directs technicians, mentors engineers, establishes prototyping and validation processes, coordinates cross-functional builds, manages risks, and supports prototype-to-production transitions. The role requires extensive hands-on robotics expertise alongside team management and technical execution leadership.

Lead mechanical New Product Introduction activities from concept through pilot builds, production ramp, and sustained manufacturing. Establish NPI gates, manufacturability practices, assembly processes, quality metrics, defect-reduction programs, FMEA, root cause analysis, and CAPA. Evaluate tooling and manufacturing processes, scale production lines, and manage mechanical component suppliers and contract manufacturers. Collaborate across design, electrical engineering, quality, supply chain, and program management to deliver scalable, high-quality robotic hardware.

Design and develop mechanical subsystems for humanoid robots, including joints, structural assemblies, linkages, and dynamic mechanisms. Create CAD models and production drawings, apply GD&T, select materials and manufacturing processes, lead rapid prototyping, and validate mechanical performance.

Own subsystems from concept through testing and production while maintaining technical documentation and conducting design reviews, risk assessments, and safety analyses.

Own the secure manufacturing pipeline for humanoid robots, including factory provisioning stations, device identity enrollment, firmware flashing, calibration, EOL testing, OTA readiness, and chain-of-custody tracking. Design secure hardware, software, and network infrastructure using PKI and AWS services. Develop production-grade Python or Bash automation, collaborate with firmware and cloud teams, threat-model contract manufacturing environments, and establish quality gates and secure processes for distributed manufacturers.

Design and develop torque-dense robotic actuators, gearboxes, and precision mechanical assemblies for humanoid robots. Own components from concept through prototyping, testing, validation, and deployment. Create CAD models and production drawings, apply GD&T, select materials and manufacturing processes, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate motors, sensors, bearings, and drives. Lead design reviews, safety assessments, documentation, and mechanical testing for reliable, scalable production.

Own and operate Humanoid’s cloud data platform, including infrastructure, software services, data workflows, CI/CD, monitoring, security, reliability, and recovery.
