At Rhoda AI, we're building the full-stack foundation for the next generation of humanoid robots — from high-performance, software-defined hardware to the foundational models and video world models that control it. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling scenarios unseen in training. We work at the intersection of large-scale learning, robotics, and systems, with a research team that includes researchers from Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and beyond. We're not building a feature; we're building a new computing platform for physical work — and with over $400M raised, we're investing aggressively in the R&D, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make that a reality.
You will be part of Rhoda's hardware integration and maintenance team, supporting activities across our humanoid robot platforms. You will write and edit assembly standards, follow ESD discipline, help with debugging and rework, and ensure that prototypes and tested hardware operate at peak reliability. This role reports to the Technician Lead.
What You'll Do
Develop and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) for assembly and repair
Create calibration, alignment, and torque-validation routines
Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical integration issues across humanoid robot subsystems
Manage inventory, tool calibration, and work-area organization
Coordinate failure analysis, rework, and maintenance logs with engineering
Support system-level validation and field-test readiness of prototype robots
What We're Looking For
Technical diploma or Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field
3+ years of hands-on experience in robotics, automation, or precision electromechanical systems
Proven experience within R&D or prototype manufacturing contexts
Expertise in mechanical assembly, harness integration, and diagnostic testing with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and torque tools
Strong understanding of EtherCAT, CAN, and sensor networks
Ability to document and standardize procedures for repeatability and traceability
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
Experience in EVT/DVT/PVT hardware cycles and CM interface for rework management
Familiarity with safety standards, STO verification, and reliability tracking
Exposure to industrial robot or autonomous system maintenance processes
Why This Role
Get your hands on some of the most advanced humanoid hardware being built anywhere in the world — every assembly you touch moves the robot closer to real-world deployment
Grow into a senior technical role as Rhoda builds out a dedicated Hardware Test & Maintenance organization from the ground up
Be part of a small, high-ownership team where your attention to detail and execution quality directly impact whether the prototype fleet ships on time and operates reliably
