Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics

At Sunday, we're developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.

We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth. If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

What to Expect

We are looking to hire a Senior Reliability and Test Engineer to contribute to the development and validation for our next-generation home robots and data collection systems. In this role, you will help take early concepts from prototype into mass production. This is an exciting opportunity to work directly on central challenges in robotics while the product is still in its early development stages.

What You’ll Do

Partner with product management and design engineering teams to:

  • Proactively identify high-risk failure modes early in the design phase and collaborate with engineering teams to mitigate them

  • Develop new reliability tests grounded in physics of failure and informed by expected user behavior

  • Own tasks related to Regulatory Compliance, including requirements research, pre-compliance validation, and certification activities

  • Design, build, and deliver critical test equipment and detailed test specifications.

  • Conduct hands-on reliability and validation testing while managing internal test technicians and external supplier testing teams

  • Coordinate with internal teams and vendor engineers to ensure on-time test execution

  • Support failure analysis efforts and provide design improvement recommendations based on test data and findings

What You’ll Bring
  • 5+ years of hardware reliability test engineering or equivalent relevant experience

  • Bachelor’s Degree in a hardware-focused field (Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or Equivalent)

  • Strong attention to detail with excellent written, visual, and verbal communication skills

  • Proven experience working on product certification processes and ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory standards (e.g., UL, FCC, CE, RoHS)

  • Statistical modeling and forecasting experience

  • Ability to travel internationally

At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria — we don’t want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
