Systems & Integration Engineer

Systems & Integration Engineer At Rhoda AI, we're building the full-stack foundation for the next generation of humanoid robots — from high-performance, software-defined hardware to the foundational models and video world models that control it. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling scenarios unseen in training. We work at the intersection of large-scale learning, robotics, and systems, with a research team that includes researchers from Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and beyond. We're not building a feature; we're building a new computing platform for physical work — and with over $400M raised, we're investing aggressively in the R&D, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make that a reality. Systems & Integration Engineer Engineering · Full-time ABOUT RHODA.AI http://Rhoda.ai Rhoda.ai http://Rhoda.ai is building intelligent hardware systems that bring advanced AI capabilities into the physical world. Our engineering team works at the intersection of robotics, embedded firmware, real-time control, and machine learning — delivering products that have to perform reliably in demanding, real-world environments. We care deeply about shipping high-quality, well-tested systems and building a team where engineers across disciplines collaborate closely to make that happen. THE ROLE We’re looking for a Systems & Integration Engineer to own end-to-end validation of our products and be the connective tissue across the full system — from product intent down to hardware and firmware. This role blends systems engineering and integration: you’ll define and decompose system-level requirements, drive interface and behavior alignment across subsystems, and design and run the tests that prove the system works as a whole. You’ll also be the first line of defense when issues surface in the field. This role sits at the center of a cross-functional engineering organization, partnering with Product, Application, Functional Safety, Regulatory, Architecture, Hardware, and Software teams to ship products that are correct by construction and proven by test. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Take end-to-end ownership of the system, from requirements definition through implementation and validation. - Decompose system-level requirements into clear, testable specifications that flow down to Hardware, Firmware, and Software teams. - Plan and execute full system, end-to-end testing — including fault-injection tests — to validate features and verify graceful recovery under realistic failure modes. - Build out and operate hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platforms to enable repeatable, system-level verification. - Partner with Hardware and Firmware owners to close gaps surfaced during integration and system testing, and turn findings into prioritized feedback for component owners. - Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis (RCA) for issues reported from the field, working alongside the Application team to drive fixes to closure. - Collaborate across Product, Application, Functional Safety, Regulatory, Architecture, Hardware, and Software teams to align on scope, interfaces, and verification strategy — supporting safety and regulatory activities with traceable, verifiable test evidence. - Document specifications, test plans, results, and RCA findings so the whole team benefits from what we learn. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Hands-on experience testing and validating complex systems that span hardware, firmware, and software. - Experience defining and decomposing system-level requirements into hardware, firmware, and software design. - Strong systems-thinking: comfortable reasoning across layers of a product to isolate where a problem actually lives. - Solid troubleshooting and RCA instincts — you follow the evidence, ask good questions, and push until you understand the real cause. - Experience designing fault-injection or negative-path tests, not just happy-path ver ...
