Mechanical Engineering System

We’re building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. The Robot Interconnect and Tendon Systems team develops the soft goods, harnessing, tendon routing, and compliant mechanical systems that enable reliable motion, durability, and integration across humanoid robotic platforms. A key focus area for the team is the development of foot soft goods systems that must withstand demanding real-world loading, wear, environmental exposure, and continuous robotic operation while remaining lightweight and manufacturable at scale.
You’ll work closely with mechanical, industrial design, manufacturing, and integration teams to rapidly prototype, test, and refine foot soft goods assemblies and interconnect systems that are critical to overall robot reliability, mobility, and long-term performance.
Support the design, prototyping, integration, and validation of foot soft goods systems for humanoid robotics platforms. This role is critical to developing durable, manufacturable, and reliable assemblies including harnesses, tendon interfaces, sewn components, and compliant structures that integrate seamlessly into robotic systems while enabling rapid iteration and scaling toward production.
Design and release foot soft goods assemblies, harnesses, tendon routing components, and sewn systems that meet durability, integration, and manufacturability requirements.
Execute structured testing and validation efforts to identify wear patterns, failure modes, and reliability risks, driving measurable design improvements.
Develop and maintain CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation to support prototype and production builds.
Partner effectively with vendors and internal manufacturing teams to improve assembly quality, repeatability, and production readiness.
Support rapid prototyping and iterative hardware development cycles while maintaining high attention to detail and execution quality.
Strong hands-on engineering capability with experience building, testing, and iterating physical hardware systems.
Solid understanding of soft goods construction methods, wearable systems, textiles, harnesses, sewn assemblies, or tendon-driven systems.
Strong mechanical intuition with the ability to troubleshoot integration, wear, and durability issues quickly.
Collaborative mindset with strong communication skills across design, manufacturing, and cross-functional engineering teams.

2-4 years of experience in mechanical engineering, soft goods product development, wearable products, robotics, or consumer hardware.
Hands-on experience designing, prototyping, and testing soft goods or textile-based assemblies.
Proficiency with CAD tools and engineering documentation workflows.
Experience working closely with prototype fabrication, assembly, or manufacturing processes.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field.
Experience with harness systems, sewn assemblies, rope- or cable-driven systems, tendon routing systems, or compliant mechanisms.
Background working with suppliers or contract manufacturers on soft goods development.
