Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.

We are a next‑generation humanoid robotics company building safe, reliable, and cost‑effective robots for industrial environments. Our engineering organization spans software, hardware, systems, test, and manufacturing - and our ability to continuously improve these capabilities defines our long‑term advantage.

We are now embedding an AI‑Powered Continuous Improvement Flywheel across the company to drive up the level of automation, accuracy, and velocity in how we design, test, and manufacture our robots.

The Business AI Lead – Engineering will be central to this transformation, helping our engineers use AI as a co‑engineer: accelerating design iteration, simulation, validation, and manufacturing readiness.

As Business AI Lead – Engineering, you will identify, develop, and scale AI solutions that enhance productivity, reliability, and innovation across our full engineering value chain.

You will collaborate deeply with capability owners in Software, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Test, and Manufacturing engineering to automate key workflows, improve design quality, and reduce engineering cycle time — all while ensuring that outputs remain accurate, secure, and compliant.

You’ll be part of a growing cross‑functional business AI team that operates alongside our Transformation and IT groups to embed AI into the way we work every day.
