# About Human Archive
Human Archive is a research lab focused on modeling human embodied intelligence.
Humans are the most sophisticated biological systems we have ever observed, yet we still do not fully understand ourselves. Research into human physical intelligence — including the human hand, proprioception, and vision — remains largely unsolved. Our mission is to recover human embodied intelligence as a learned model. To achieve this, we build custom hardware products, deploy them globally at scale, and publish research. Today, our data is used for robotics and world modeling, but the broader opportunity is advancing scientific research into intelligence itself.
Founded by Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers, we are lean, deeply 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.
We are building the infrastructure to accelerate that transition by assembling the Human Archive mafia. 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 help reshape physical labor and work on problems that matter at civilizational scale, join us.
# The Opportunity
As Head of Operations, you’ll lead the manufacturing, deployment, logistics, and operational infrastructure powering Human Archive’s global data collection products. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of hardware, supply chain, field operations, and large-scale deployment, where your work directly shapes how our hardware is produced, shipped, deployed, and scaled globally.
You’ll work closely with hardware engineers, suppliers, manufacturers, and field teams to coordinate production, dep...
