Mobileye is a global leader in Physical AI, developing computer vision, software, and hardware to power autonomous driving solutions and humanoid robots. Our mission is to bring autonomy into the real world by building intelligent technologies that are designed to expand accessibility and enhance everyday life, from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving to robotics and humanoids.
Built on decades of automotive innovation and industrial-scale AI expertise, Mobileye technologies power more than 230 million vehicles worldwide. With teams around the world, we continue to innovate at the forefront of autonomous systems, advancing the next generation of Physical AI for the real world.
About the team:
At Mentee Robotics, we are redefining humanoid automation with an AI-first approach - combining perception, reasoning, and dexterous manipulation into fully autonomous systems that continuously learn and improve. We offer an exceptional opportunity to participate in building next-generation commercial humanoid robots from 0 to 1, alongside competitive compensation, equity packages, and an international engineering environment. We are expanding with a new robotics Engineering Center in China, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams in headquarters. Its mission: to rapidly develop our next-generation full-size humanoid platform and bring it to production. We are looking for a Senior Harness Engineer to own the complete wiring and electrical interconnect architecture of our humanoid robot - the high-density power and signal network connecting dozens of actuators, sensors, compute modules, and battery systems across high-DOF moving joints.
Who you are?
- An electrical interconnect expert who thinks in bend radii, dynamic flex-life, strain relief, and signal integrity.
- Hands-on: you build, route, terminate, and test your own harnesses in the lab.
- Meticulous about documentation: every wire, connector, pinout, and schematic is traced, version-controlled, and managed in PLM/PDM.
- A strong collaborator across mechanical, electrical, thermal, and embedded firmware teams.
Responsibilities:
- Design the full robot wiring harness architecture: power distribution (high-current motor phases, bus voltage), communication networks (EtherCAT/CAN), and sensor signal lines.
- Route harnesses through high-DOF moving joints, limbs, and torso with optimized bend radii, strain relief, and dynamic flex-life performance.
- Perform thermal derating analysis and ampacity safety assessments for high-current motor phase and power distribution lines.
- Select and specify connectors, terminals, wire gauges, shields, and protective sleeving for high-flex, high-vibration robotic environments.
- Design harness breakouts, junction modules, and quick-disconnect connectors for assembly and field serviceability.
- Develop dynamic flex-life test rigs for harness-joint mockups to evaluate endurance and model failure modes.
- Generate complete documentation: schematics, wire lists, pinouts, BOMs, and 3D harness routing models.
- Collaborate with Mechanical Engineers to define cable channels, pass-through glands, and mounting features in the structure.
- Define EMC/EMI mitigation strategies: shielding, grounding topology, and separation of power and high-speed signal lines.
Requirements:
- B.Sc. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related technical field (exceptional practical experience in robotic harness design may be considered).
- 5+ years of wiring harness and interconnect design experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial automation.
- Proficiency in 3D/2D harness routing tools (SolidWorks Electrical 3D, NX Routing, Creo Harness, Zuken E3.series, or Mentor Capital).
- Deep expertise in high-flex cables, dynamic shielding, and connector reliability under vibration.
- Hands-on prototyping capabilities: crimping, soldering, potting, termination, and continuity testing.
- Strong understanding of EMC/EMI principles, high-speed signal integrity (EtherCAT/CAN), and thermal management.
Advantages:
- Experience designing harnesses for humanoid robots, quadrupeds, or multi-DOF articulated manipulators.
- Familiarity with automotive harness qualification standards (LV 214, USCAR) and flex-testing methodology.
- Practical experience designing and building automated or semi-automated harness test rigs.
- Comfortable communicating technical topics in English with international teams.
