Your New Role & Team
As a Research and Development Engineer you play a leading role in advancing our next-generation humanoid robotics systems. Reporting to our Principal Research Scientist you are responsible for developing high-performance technologies that integrate mechanical electrical and fluidic systems under demanding physical constraints.
You contribute across the full R&D lifecycle from early-stage design and simulation through prototyping validation and integration into complex robotic platforms. Your work enables lifelike motion through compact actuator systems and precision mechanisms requiring deep technical fluency and systems-level thinking.
You collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in AI embedded systems and controls to solve engineering challenges that have no off-the-shelf solutions. You also serve as a technical mentor within the team and play a key role in setting standards for quality documentation and repeatability as we scale.
Our Success Criteria
- Bring hands-on experience developing advanced electro-mechanical systems with tightly integrated mechanical electrical and fluidic components
- Take ownership of complex system development from concept and simulation through validation and integration
- Demonstrate technical leadership in designing actuation solutions under extreme packaging thermal and performance constraints
- Expand your impact by mentoring junior engineers and contributing to cross-functional development initiatives
- Apply simulation modeling and analytical tools to inform design and optimize system performance
- Create clear production-ready documentation such as CAD drawings test protocols and assembly instructions for your designs
- At minimum a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Chemical Engineering Mechatronics Robotics Engineering Physics or a related technical field
- Proven experience in advanced electromechanical or robotic systems development
- Extensive experience with hydraulic systems and components
- Experience designing components or subsystems with weight size and thermal limitations
- Proven track record in taking R&D hardware from concept to functional prototype and system integration
- Demonstrated ability to work in high-performance cross-functional engineering environments
- Deep understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering fundamentals
- Proficiency in CAD and simulation tools (e.g. FEA CFD dynamic modeling)
- Strong prototyping skills including use of hand/power tools machining or 3D printing
- Experience with electromechanical actuators sensors and control integration
- Experience in fluid mechanics thermodynamics and heat transfer
- Experience with Agile development methodologies and tools like Jira
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
- Above all else a consistently positive attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes to create robust solutions to complex problems
- Using existing knowledge to develop original ways of working
- Taking personal responsibility for the quality and content of your work
- Analyzing data and information to make considered decisions
- Expressing an interest in others experiences and ideas
- Obsession with bringing human-like intelligence to machines

About Sanctuary AI
Founded in 2018 Sanctuary builds humanoid robots and a novel control system for them that integrates symbolic logic and reasoning with data-driven robot foundation models. We use our robots to collect vision audio touch and proprioception data from the perspective of the robot while they perform real-world work tasks. We use that data to train multimodal robot foundation models. Because our systems are vertically integrated we can design deploy and refine at scale. Our mission is to create the worlds first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots.
