Industrial Designer — Humanoid Robotics Hardware

Menlo; United States; Remote; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Menlo in the United States seeks an experienced Industrial Designer to own the form language and physical identity of Asimov, a humanoid hardware platform. You’ll work with mechanical and electrical engineers to translate constraints into production-ready enclosures, CMF, and packaging.

You will prototype in foam and machined parts, drive DFM and DFA reviews, and shape human-facing details, grips, indicators, and the unboxing experience for development kits and hardware family.

Qualifications

• Strong portfolio of shipped physical products, ideally complex electromechanical hardware.
• Experience shipping 4+ years of physical hardware (consumer electronics, robotics, or related).
• Deep industrial design fundamentals: form, proportion, ergonomics, CMF.

Responsibilities

• Own industrial design for Asimov and the company hardware family: form, proportion, ergonomics, and CMF, from concept to production-ready enclosures, covers, and structural aesthetics.
• Turn mechanical and electrical constraints into clean, intentional design that does not hide the engineering.
• Prototype fast in foam, print, and machined parts, then iterate on real robots to test design intent.
• Own the CMF specification process: material selection, surface finish standards, color systems, and supplier engagement.
• Own design for manufacturing and assembly alongside mechanical engineering: DFM reviews, tolerance stack-ups, fastening, serviceability, part count, and assembly sequencing, catching issues before tooling.
• Design the human-facing details: grips, handles, access panels, indicators, and anything a person touches or reads.
• Shape the packaging and unboxing experience and user-facing documentation for Asimov kits and development hardware.
• Maintain design consistency across the company hardware product family as the portfolio expands
