Stealth Humanoid Robotics Startup
Mechanical Design Engineering Intern
My newfound passion for humanoid robotics led me to this opportunity to design and build humanoids at a stealth humanoid robotics startup in Palo Alto.
As the second mechanical engineer on the team, I owned the design of entire humanoid subsystems that have been shipped to customers in December 2025. My contributions include:
- Redesigning the humanoid’s torso to package high-voltage electronics whilst balancing form and aesthetics
- Designing the humanoid’s neck after evaluating actuators, mechanisms, and making design tradeoffs
- Building a battery monitoring system for the humanoid through current-based sensing and state of charge estimation
- Exploring and prototyping novel designs for a lighter and slimmer humanoid wrist
- Creating and exporting robot assemblies into URDFs and validating joints on IsaacSim
