Come build the autonomous future with us. One humanoid at a time.
We’re looking for a visionary Head of Industrial Design to lead the design of our next generation humanoid. You’ll
play a central role in shaping how our robots look, feel, and interact with the world – balancing cutting-edge form
with rugged functionality. This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role for someone who can translate complex
engineering into elegant, customer-centric design.
