At Mentee Robotics, we are redefining humanoid automation with an AI-first approach - combining perception, reasoning, and dexterous manipulation into fully autonomous systems that continuously learn and improve. We offer an exceptional opportunity to participate in building next-generation commercial humanoid robots from 0 to 1, alongside competitive compensation and an international engineering environment. We are expanding with a new robotics Engineering Center in China, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams in headquarters. Its mission: to rapidly develop our next-generation full-size humanoid platform and bring it to production.

We are looking for a Hardware Development Engineer to lead the hardware development of a bipedal humanoid robot’s full-body system, including but not limited to compute-domain hardware, power hardware, motion-control hardware, and the hardware of each module. You will also maintain the hardware, troubleshoot hardware issues, and work with colleagues in other disciplines to complete bench debugging and full-system commissioning. The end goal is to own the hardware of the mass-production robot and carry it through development and maintenance across the entire product lifecycle.

Who you are:

You have a deep understanding of hardware development and strong hands-on experience, along with a genuine passion for humanoid robots.
You have a clear grasp of how the major hardware modules work, and a solid understanding of the system as a whole.
You have solid experience with mass production and fault handling, and you can diagnose problems hands-on and fix and optimize hardware issues.

Responsibilities:

Own hardware solution design, component selection, schematic design, and PCB design for the robot.
Independently design and debug in-house hardware, including the domain controller board and power board.
Lead hardware bring-up, functional verification, and fault isolation.
Own hardware reliability, EMC, thermal design, and analysis of mass-production issues.
Participate in product requirements analysis and design reviews, and continuously improve reliability and stability.

Requirements:

Full-time bachelor’s degree or above in computer science, electrical engineering, automation, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
Familiar with analog circuits, digital circuits, power circuits, and common communication circuits.
Able to independently complete schematic design and PCB layout, and able to review PCB designs.
Familiar with common electronic test instruments.
Familiar with interfaces including STM32, I2C, SPI, UART, EtherCAT, CAN, CAN FD, and RS485.
Familiar with design tools such as Altium Designer and Cadence.

Nice to Have:

Robot development experience.
Experience with EMC, reliability testing, and mass-production introduction
