System Engineer - Humanoid (Human)

• The Bridge: Drive the development of the 4NE1 humanoid platform by translating customer, product, and business requirements into structured, traceable system requirements. Contribute to the definition of system architecture and ensure alignment between functional objectives and technical implementation;
• Collaborate and Align: Define system boundaries, interfaces, and subsystem responsibilities across robotics software, perception, manipulation, locomotion, controls, embedded systems, electronics, and mechanical engineering teams. Ensure seamless interaction between all components of the humanoid platform. Ability to understand and reason about interactions between locomotion, manipulation, perception, power systems, embedded software, and AI at a complete robot level;
• Drive Integration: Lead system-level integration and validation activities for complex humanoid capabilities such as locomotion, manipulation, human-robot interaction, autonomy, and safety functions. Define verification methods, acceptance criteria, and validation strategies;
• Own System Scope: Establish and maintain key systems engineering artifacts, including requirements specs, architecture, interface definitions and traceability documentation. Contribute to technical reviews, design reviews, architecture reviews, and product lifecycle milestones;
• End-to-End Execution: Support system integration from early prototypes through production-ready humanoid robots. Analyze system-level performance, identify cross-functional issues, coordinate root cause investigations, and drive resolution across multiple engineering disciplines. Experience in supporting deployment of robotic systems in customer-facing or production environments.
