Teams at Human Computer Lab

Design the exterior form and visual language of a consumer robot from early sketches through production. Responsibilities include developing 3D models, defining materials and finishes, managing CMF documentation, reviewing prototypes, owning Class-A surfacing, supporting DFM, and contributing to packaging, photography, art direction, and the product’s overall emotional presence.

Research Engineer developing human-robot interaction systems for consumer robots. The role spans robotics research and hands-on engineering across motion, perception, sensing, actuation, thermals, inference, firmware, hardware, datasets, and evaluation. Responsibilities include inventing and testing novel approaches, building real hardware and ML systems, deploying reliable low-latency solutions on edge devices, and documenting reproducible results. Candidates should demonstrate self-directed projects, end-to-end artifacts, hardware experience, ML deployment, and cross-layer technical adaptability.

Support development of consumer character robots through hands-on mechanical prototyping, controls integration, calibration, CAD iteration, fixture design, test-rig operation, reliability testing, and integration troubleshooting. The intern will build rigs, wire sensors, create simple test scripts, document results, and translate mechanical design changes into controls adjustments while working across the physical robotics stack.
