We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

The Role

As a Product Security Engineer, you will help secure NEO end-to-end—from the operating system and cryptographic infrastructure running on the robot to the cloud services, networks, and deployment pipelines that support it. You will identify vulnerabilities before adversaries do, partner closely with engineering teams to design and implement secure systems, and help establish the security foundations required to safely deploy humanoid robots at scale. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and applied security engineering.

You Will

• Audit code and systems across NEO’s technology stack, including bootloaders, Linux userspace, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines to identify and drive remediation of security vulnerabilities

• Lead security initiatives end-to-end and serve as a technical security partner across Robotics, AI, Infrastructure, Manufacturing, and Enterprise Engineering teams

• Conduct penetration testing, threat modeling, and risk assessments against robots, supporting infrastructure, and cloud services

• Design and implement security-critical systems such as secure boot chains, code-signing infrastructure, attestation frameworks, and hardened platform services

• Define and improve the security architecture for robot provisioning, deployment, software updates, and fleet operations

• Evaluate system designs and engineering decisions through a security lens and provide actionable guidance to development teams

• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to improve product security posture across hardware, firmware, software, and cloud environments

• Help establish security standards, processes, and best practices for next-generation humanoid robotics platforms
