Lead troubleshooting and resolution of complex electrical issues in prototype humanoid robots, including operational and in-development systems; perform detailed failure analysis and share learnings with hardware/software engineering teams.
Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineers on prototype design, assembly, and bring-up, especially high-density electromechanical integrations.
Create, maintain, and execute clear test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and repair runbooks for the prototyping lab to ensure high standards and rapid iteration cycles.
Design, document, and iterate on cable assemblies, test jigs, and harnesses optimized for repeated use on dynamic robotic platforms.
Identify and own opportunities for continuous process and product improvement—minimizing downtime and improving test/repair efficiency.
Contribute to robust feedback loops across design, build, and test, driving first-pass yield and manufacturability.
