Forward Deployed Engineer

Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable, turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.

Asimov is leaving the lab. Teams are buying fleets, commissioning custom builds, and wiring their own agents into a humanoid body. Every one of those deployments needs someone who can make it work on site. That’s you.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer on our Deployment team, you’ll embed with Menlo’s enterprise customers and own their Asimov deployments end to end, from a scoped use case to a robot doing real work in their environment. You’ll write the integration code, configure the platform, debug the robot on the floor, and bring back what you learn so the next deployment goes faster than the last. You’ll partner with our Enterprise Lead on the customer side, and with Brain, Platform, and Hardware on everything behind it.
