Overview In this role you will scale Atlas production from prototype through low-volume manufacturing, shaping repeatable processes for assembly, test, and integration. You'll collaborate with Hardware Engineering, Prototype Operations, Systems, Behavior and Software teams to ensure manufacturability and reliability of next-generation humanoid robotics. You will design tooling, fixtures, and automation, establish process controls, and lead continuous improvement to boost yield and efficiency. You'll partner with Hyundai Motor Group to leverage automotive manufacturing expertise. This is a hands-on, impact-driven role shaping production at Boston Dynamics.
