About the role

We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to be the public face of Asimov in the builder community. This is a hybrid role, part hands-on robotics and part developer evangelism.

What You'll Do

  • Assemble, bring up, and maintain Asimov units in our labs and at customer sites
  • Service and support customer robots in the field, and turn what you learn into product feedback
  • Build demos, robot skills, and policies on the Menlo Platform that show what Asimov can really do
  • Finetune locomotion and JEPA policies to push real-world performance
  • Run hardware and software workshops that get engineers building on Asimov fast
  • Represent Menlo publicly through live demos, talks, and technical content that grow our developer community
  • Create blogs, videos, and social content that build a following around the open humanoid stack

What We Look For

  • Deep hands-on comfort with hardware, or an obsessive drive to work on robots every single day
  • A strong technical foundation in robotics, mechatronics, or AI, enough to build and debug real systems yourself
  • An existing public body of work: blogs, talks, open-source contributions, or an engaged following
  • The ability to turn deep technical work into content engineers actually want to read and watch

Nice to Have

  • Background as a mechatronics engineer or robotics hacker
  • Experience with locomotion, imitation learning, or world models such as JEPAA
  • Software or AI background paired with genuine hardware obsession
  • Experience running community programs, hackathons, or developer events
  • Contributions to open-source robotics or ML projects

Why Join Menlo

You will be the person who puts Asimov in front of the world. You will build the robots, write the policies that make them move, and then show a whole community of engineers why physical AI should be open. Your work lives on real hardware and reaches real builders, not slides.

A Note on AI

You don't need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect everyone at Menlo to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement. When that's the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications.

Equal Opportunity and Accommodations

We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. If you're excited about a role but don't meet every bullet, we still encourage you to apply. Menlo Research is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic. Menlo provides reasonable accommodations during the application process.
