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. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

The Quality Team

The Quality team is responsible for ensuring every component, assembly, and robot meets the standards required to operate safely and reliably in the real world. Working closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Operations, the team identifies issues early, drives containment, and helps improve product quality as we scale from prototypes to high-volume production.

Your Charter

  • Drive containment and escalation of nonconforming materials, ensuring issues are clearly documented and resolved.

  • Deliver accurate inspection data and technical findings that enable engineering and supplier quality improvements.

  • Support rapid root cause investigations by providing clear problem statements, inspection results, and failure analysis data.

  • Maintain inspection equipment, tooling, and calibration records to ensure reliable and repeatable quality assessments.

Key Competencies
  • Strong hands-on troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills in manufacturing environments.

  • Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, electrical schematics, and manufacturing documentation.

  • Detail-oriented approach with a high standard for documentation accuracy and quality execution.

  • Ability to communicate technical findings clearly across engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams.

  • Self-motivated and capable of managing priorities independently in a fast-paced environment.

Minimum Requirements
  • 3+ years of hands-on quality, manufacturing, or engineering technician experience.

  • Experience performing inspections and investigating quality issues in a production environment.

  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and technical specifications.

  • Experience using inspection and test equipment such as calipers, multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, or similar tools.

Preferred Skills
  • Experience supporting robotics, automation, consumer electronics, automotive, or other electromechanical products.

  • Experience diagnosing and repairing mechanical or electromechanical assemblies.

  • Familiarity with quality management systems, MRB processes, and nonconformance tracking.
