About the role
About Human Archive
Human Archive is a robotics data lab founded by Stanford and UC Berkeley dropouts. We work alongside frontier robotics labs and foundation model research groups to collect large-scale, real-world, annotated multimodal datasets of humans performing everyday tasks across household and industrial environments.
We are lean, technical, and operate at extreme speed, taking on unglamorous and conventionally impossible problems that directly unlock step-function gains in model capability.
The deployment of capable humanoids at scale will permanently redefine human labor. Undesirable physical work will disappear, and human effort will shift toward a new era of abundant creativity. This shift is inevitable, and we are building the infrastructure to accelerate it.
We are assembling the best team to solve the hardest problems in embodied intelligence. You will own meaningful systems from day one and see your work directly impact model capabilities. This is a once-in-a-generation inflection point. If you want to leave your dent on humanity and reshape physical labor markets forever, join us!
The Opportunity
The head of engineering will own the entire technical execution of a body-worn sensing platform — from architecture through shipping — while leading a distributed team of specialists across San Francisco and India.
The head of engineering will make real design and integration decisions every week across all four core domains: power systems, sensor synchronization, firmware and embedded Linux, and mechanical structure.
What You Will Own
- Define and maintain the complete hardware system architecture — mechanical, electrical, firmware, and multi-sensor integration — ensuring all subsystems integrate into a coherent, wearable product.
