Key Responsibilities

  • Support the deployment, testing, and engineering adaptation of causal world models and related algorithms across different robotic platforms.
  • Handle the assembly, disassembly, commissioning, maintenance, and routine fault diagnosis of robot hardware, reducing the impact of equipment issues on R&D progress.
  • Analyze coupled issues across mechanical structures, sensors, actuators, and control systems, and work with relevant teams to identify hardware-software integration faults.
  • Co-design test plans with algorithm and software teams, translating real-world robot issues into clear and reproducible engineering feedback.
  • Maintain engineering records covering robot equipment, critical components, fault symptoms, and repair processes, and progressively build reusable debugging methods.
  • Evaluate the structural characteristics and interface differences of different robot platforms and provide engineering recommendations for cross-platform adaptation.
  • Participate in technical discussions and joint adaptation work with robot-platform or critical-component vendors as the business progresses.

Key Qualifications

  • A sound understanding of the fundamental mechanical architecture of robotic systems and how structural design affects motion, payload, accuracy, and reliability.
  • Experience in integrated debugging of robotic hardware and software systems across mechanical, electrical, sensing, actuation, and software layers.
  • Strong hands-on capability and the ability to independently assemble, commission, maintain, and troubleshoot robot platforms.
  • The ability to communicate clearly with algorithm, software, and external hardware partners and break complex problems into verifiable engineering tasks.
  • The initiative to establish working methods and drive issues to closure in an uncertain early-stage R&D environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Engineering experience with robotic arms, mobile robots, dexterous manipulation, or other embodied-intelligence platforms.
  • Experience in robot-platform integration, laboratory equipment maintenance, prototype development, or joint projects with robot-platform manufacturers.
  • Familiarity with common reliability and maintainability issues from experimental validation through real-world deployment.
  • The ability to read English technical documentation and collaborate with technical teams across locations.

Why This Role

  • Contribute directly to bringing causal world models from research into real robotic systems.
  • Solve concrete, verifiable engineering problems across multiple robotic platforms.
  • Work closely with causal AI, world-model, and robotics teams, connecting algorithms, robot hardware, and the physical environment.
  • Help build the company's robotics systems integration and deployment capabilities in China.
