## **About Human Archive**
Human Archive is a robotics data lab founded by Stanford and UC Berkeley dropouts. We work alongside frontier robotics labs and foundation model research groups to collect large-scale, real-world, annotated multimodal datasets of humans performing everyday tasks across household and industrial environments.
We are lean, technical, and operate at extreme speed, taking on unglamorous and conventionally impossible problems that directly unlock step-function gains in model capability.
The deployment of capable humanoids at scale will permanently redefine human labor. Undesirable physical work will disappear, and human effort will shift toward a new era of abundant creativity. This shift is inevitable, and we are building the infrastructure to accelerate it.
We are assembling the best team to solve the hardest problems in embodied intelligence. You will own meaningful systems from day one and see your work directly impact model capabilities. This is a once-in-a-generation inflection point. If you want to leave your dent on humanity and reshape physical labor markets forever, join us!
**About the Role**
This revolves around understanding the user — the visual language, ergonomic feel, and user-facing identity of our wearable hardware platform.
You will work directly with the Head of Engineering and founding team in San Francisco.

## Responsibilities
* Develop and iterate on the visual and ergonomic design language of the wearable system — form, finish, material palette, and user interaction.
* Create high-quality concept sketches, 3D renderings, and physical models to communicate design intent to engineering and leadership.
* Collaborate with the mechanical engineer (India) to ensure design intent is preserved through the engineering and fabrication process.
* Contribute to user research and wear testing, translating real feedback into design refinements.
* Maintain a living design system — material specs, finish standards, CMF documentation — that guides vendor conversations and future iterations.
* Design packaging, unboxing experience, and product presentation materials as needed.
---
## Required Qualifications
* Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or equivalent — recent graduates (2023-2025) strongly encouraged.
* Strong portfolio demonstrating concept-to-prototype capability, ergonomic thinking, and high visual craft.
* Proficiency in CAD tools (Fusion 360, Rhino, or similar) and rendering software (KeyShot, Blender, or equivalent).
* Ability to communicate design intent clearly through sketches, renders, and physical models.
---
## Preferred Qualifications
* Academic or internship experience in consumer hardware, medical devices, or wearables.
* Exposure to manufacturing processes: injection molding, CNC, 3D printing, soft goods.
* Interest in technical systems and comfort working alongside engineers.
* Experience with CMF specification and vendor communication.
