Staff Engineer ERP Systems

About the role

We’re building humanoid robots that work in homes, handling chores and tasks to give people more time. Our goal is ambitious, but achievable. We’ve been working on this since 2014 and are now ready to scale up. NEO is our flagship product - a home robot designed to move, learn, and work alongside families. We’re not just talking about it - we’re shipping it. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to see their work make a real difference.
