Role Overview
We are seeking an RF Engineer to design, develop, and scale the head sub-system for our humanoid robot, NEO. This role involves developing and integrating the RF systems that enable the robot’s expressive, perceptive, and functional capabilities.
You will be responsible for hands-on design, prototyping, and system integration while working closely with mechanical, software, manufacturing and industrial design teams. You will own connectivity components and assemblies throughout their lifecycle, from initial concept and prototyping to validation and mass production. Your work will directly influence the reliability, safety, aesthetics, and scalability of humanoid robots deployed worldwide.
The ideal candidate is a creative problem-solver with strong RF design skills who thrives in a fast-paced product development environment.
