Head of Humanoid Robotics (Software Focus)

Head of Humanoid Robotics (Software Focus) Base Salary: $300,000 – $500,000 Location: Silicon Valley, CA (Onsite) Industry: Advanced Manufacturing & Embodied AI

About the Role

We are pioneering the next era of intelligent manufacturing. As Head of Humanoid Robotics (Software Focus) , you will lead the development of next-generation humanoid robots that will transform garment production and industrial sewing automation through advanced software intelligence.

This high-impact leadership role offers the opportunity to shape the core intelligence of humanoid systems capable of performing complex, dexterous tasks — from fabric handling and precise manipulation to full garment assembly — in real factory environments. Software strategy and innovation will be driven from our Silicon Valley hub, while hardware development and large-scale manufacturing are based in Asia.

What You’ll Do

•

Define and own the software strategy, technical roadmap, and system architecture for humanoid robotics, with deep focus on motion control, perception, planning, manipulation, reinforcement learning, and whole-body intelligence.

•

Build, lead, and scale a world-class U.S.-based engineering team, recruiting and mentoring top talent in AI and robotics software.

•

Solve critical technical challenges to enable reliable, high-dexterity performance on deformable materials like fabrics, including adaptive behaviors in dynamic, real-world conditions.

•

Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (AI, mechanical, controls, and manufacturing) to deliver fully integrated humanoid systems ready for industrial deployment.

•

Set the strategic vision for AI-powered humanoid automation in manufacturing, driving the shift toward flexible, labor-efficient production lines.
