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!
About the Role
The hardware test engineer will own quality and validation across the full hardware stack — electronics, firmware, and system integration. This role goes well beyond test execution: you will build the test infrastructure, author reliability plans, debug failure modes, and drive corrective action.
You will receive direction from the Head of Engineering and work closely with the electrical and firmware engineers.
Responsibilities
- Define test plans, matrices, and acceptance criteria aligned with product requirements; build and maintain verification checklists for electrical, firmware, and system-level functionality.
