Location: New York, NY (Hybrid)
Salary: $250,000 – $350,000 base + equity + bonus
About The Opportunity
A stealth-mode company at the forefront of humanoid robotics is seeking a visionary VP of Engineering to lead the development of its next-generation robotic platform. This role combines strategic leadership with deep technical involvement across hardware and software - driving forward an ambitious roadmap to bring advanced humanoid robots into real-world environments.
This is your opportunity to lead a top-tier team in solving hard, meaningful problems that sit at the intersection of mechanical systems, AI, autonomy, and human-robot interaction.
What You’ll Do
Leadership & Strategy
Set the vision for our robotics stack- guiding architecture, systems design, and integration. Build and lead high-performing engineering teams across mechanical, electrical, embedded, and software disciplines. Collaborate closely with executive leadership to align engineering execution with business goals. Champion best practices in system development, technical program management, and team scaling.
Technical Oversight
Own the full robot architecture, balancing trade-offs across sensors, compute, actuation, and autonomy. Oversee the design and implementation of motion planning, perception, control systems, and SLAM. Guide development of embedded and real-time systems for performance-critical behavior. Ensure all hardware and software components meet safety, reliability, and performance
Experience
What We’re Looking For:
10+ years in robotics, with experience shipping full-stack robotic systems. Prior leadership of multidisciplinary engineering teams, ideally within humanoid, legged, or manipulation-focused robotics. A track record of turning R&D into deployed, real-world systems.
Technical Expertise
Strong foundation in robotic control, planning, kinematics, and mechatronic systems. Proficient in C++, Python, and ROS2. Experience with embedded systems (RTOS, microcontrollers, FPGA), sensor fusion, and actuator control. Familiarity with simulation tools like Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Mujoco, or Webots. Bonus: Exposure to reinforcement learning or generative AI for robotics.
Compensation & Benefits
We believe the best people deserve the best package:
Performance-based bonuses Platinum healthcare (100% coverage for employee and dependents) Dental and vision coverage Unlimited PTO with a 3-week minimum encouragement 401(k) with company match Relocation support for candidates moving to New York Annual wellness stipend ($2,500/year) Professional development budget ($3,000/year) Paid parental leave (16 weeks)
