We are seeking a Biomechanics Researcher with a passion to advance humanoid technology by understanding and mimicking, soft tissue muscle and bone characteristics, sensing, and the physics of human robot contact. This role is ideal for a curious and driven researcher who wants to translate biomechanical insight into next generation robot skins, compliant structures, safe covers, and improved physical interaction. You will help build the biomechanical foundations that guide how our humanoids move, sense, and safely interact with people and the world. You will collaborate closely with senior researchers and engineers in materials, physics, mechanical design, perception, and industrial design to shape the physical intelligence and human interaction properties of our robots.
Job Responsibility:
Study human motion, actuation, soft tissue response, and sensing to derive performance targets for robot skin, compliant structures, and energy absorbing covers
Develop experimental protocols and measurement systems to quantify touch, compliance, friction, impact behavior, and tactile perception relevant to humanoid task
Translate biomechanical insight into actionable design guidance for materials, structures, and motion behaviors
Work closely with materials scientists and engineers to integrate biomechanics into the development of next generation skins, textiles, gels, and layered materials
Partner with mechanical and industrial design teams to ensure that physical interaction behaviors are intuitive, safe, and human aligned
Build testing setups that mimic real world human robot interaction scenarios and validate design choices with quantitative data
Contribute to internal models and simulation tools that predict how new materials and structures perform under human-like contact
Stay at the forefront of biomechanics research, human factors, and tactile science to continually refine our understanding of safe and natural physical interaction
Requirements:
PhD degree in biomechanics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a related field
2+ years industry experience translating expertise in biomechanics to consumer products
Strong understanding of human actuation and sensing and soft tissue mechanics
Hands on experience designing and running experiments that measure movement, force, compliance, impact, or tactile response
Ability to convert experimental insight into clear design targets or engineering specifications
Comfort working across disciplines and rapidly iterating from concept to prototype
First principles thinker with strong analytical skills and a practical approach to solving complex problems
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with a demanding, fast moving team
We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations
