Senior DevOps Engineer - Safety Firmware

Team: Core Platform
Location: US, Boston, MA
Employment type: FullTime

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND-01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior DevOps Engineer supporting the safety firmware efforts in Boston, you will play a critical role in building the infrastructure that enables high-quality firmware development for our next generation of humanoid robots. In this position, you will work at the intersection of embedded systems, developer infrastructure, and functional safety, owning the build, integration, and automation systems that allow firmware engineers to move quickly while maintaining the rigor required for safety-critical software. You will partner closely with firmware engineers and related teams to develop a production-grade build and test environment, integrate specialized third-party safety tools, and improve the overall reliability and velocity of the development workflow.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Augment and maintain the firmware portion of our Bazel-based build system, supporting both firmware development and safety-critical software workflows.
• Integrate, maintain, and automate specialized third-party tooling required for functional safety development.
• Architect and deploy robust CI/CD pipelines that enhance developer velocity while ensuring build integrity and traceability for safety-related projects.
• Optimize GitHub Actions and runner infrastructure to reduce latency and support scalable firmware development workflows.
• Help design and manage infrastructure for automated hardware testing, including the development of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.
