Founding Research Partnerships Lead
About Menlo
Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable, turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.
The Role
This is a founding go-to-market role for Asimov in the US research market. You will establish Asimov inside leading US university labs, AI research organizations, and corporate R&D groups, owning a regional territory end to end: first technical conversation, demonstration, purchase, deployment handoff, and expansion. It is not a conventional account-executive role, and not a conventional developer-relations role. You should be able to discuss a researcher's work at a technical level, translate that work into robot hardware, software, data, AI model, and support requirements, then lead the institution through evaluation and procurement.
