About the Role
As our Industrial Designer, you will own the form language and physical identity of Asimov, from enclosures and surface treatments to ergonomics, CMF (color, material, finish), and packaging. You will work shoulder to shoulder with mechanical and electrical engineers to ensure that every design decision holds up in manufacturing and survives contact with real-world conditions.
Responsibilities
- Develop the industrial design vision for Asimov and Menlo hardware products, including form, proportion, ergonomics, and CMF
- Translate engineering constraints and functional requirements into design concepts that are both manufacturable and visually coherent
- Produce high-fidelity 3D models, renderings, and physical prototypes to communicate and test design intent
- Partner with mechanical engineering on DFM (design for manufacturing) reviews, tolerance stack-ups, and assembly sequencing to catch design issues before tooling
- Own the CMF specification process -- material selection, surface finish standards, color systems, and supplier engagement
- Contribute to user-facing documentation, packaging, and unboxing experience for Asimov kits and development hardware
- Maintain design consistency across the Menlo hardware product family as the portfolio expands
Requirements
- Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related discipline
- 4 or more years of experience shipping physical products -- consumer electronics, robotics, medical devices, or similarly complex hardware
- Strong proficiency in 3D modeling tools (Alias, Rhino, SolidWorks, or equivalent) and rendering software (KeyShot or similar)
- Working knowledge of manufacturing processes: injection molding, sheet metal, die casting, surface finishing
- Experience collaborating directly with mechanical engineers and contract manufacturers in an iterative development environment
- Portfolio demonstrating a consistent design sensibility applied to technically constrained products
- Intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work

About the Company
- 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.
Equal Opportunity
- 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.
