Menlo is always hiring.
Maybe you're a designer with an anthropology habit 🗿. An ex-marine turned roboticist 🤖. A community builder who speaks fluent Rustacean 🦀. Or maybe you're something we don't have a title for yet 👽.
That's what this is. We call it the Wild Card: a space for the unconventional, the hybrid thinkers, the ones who don't fit neatly in a box and know they belong here anyway. If that's you, let's talk.
The mindsets we hire for:
Fast and curious. You learn in public and ship before you feel ready.
Obsessed outliers. You go deep on things most people never notice.
We hire for how fast you grow, not where you're starting from.
Underdogs. You've been counted out before and proved it wrong.
We run like a pro sports team: best players in their roles, hire and cut smartly, but give teams the continuity to gel and win together.
What you'll get:
A team that moves like a pro sports team, where everyone has a critical role and we norm and storm until we produce results.
Equity, ownership, and the freedom to build what actually matters.
A chance to work with some of the most curious and mission-driven people you'll ever meet.
A stage to do your life's best work without contorting yourself to fit a mold.
About Menlo
Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable -- turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.
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. People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
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. If you need one, please let your recruiter know.
