Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
Mission Profile Decomposition: Decompose platform and subsystem requirements into mission profiles — duty cycles, load spectra, environmental exposure — that define what “real-world use” means for each hardware discipline. Accelerated Test Planning: Translate mission profiles into accelerated test plans: acceleration factors, sample sizes, and pass/fail criteria for HALT/HASS, thermal cycling, vibration, and fatigue campaigns, rather than only interpreting results after tests are run.
More about this role
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
As the Senior Hardware Reliability Engineer, you own reliability as an engineering discipline, not just a test outcome. Every mission profile we define, every acceleration factor we trust, every design change that prevents a failure mode from reaching hardware starts with the reliability analysis you run.
Reliability starts upstream of the test bench. In this role, you decompose platform and subsystem requirements into mission profiles — the duty cycles, load spectra, and environmental exposures Robot will actually see over its life in industrial...
