Solution

As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the world’s workforce increasingly moving away from undesirable tasks, the manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries critical to our daily lives are left exposed. By deploying our general-purpose humanoid robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human well-being is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

About the Role

As Digital Engineering Tools & Platform Manager , you will own and evolve Humanoid’s engineering tooling ecosystem across mechanical, electrical, simulation, and robotics disciplines.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on defining standards, enabling engineering velocity, and ensuring reliable data flow from CAD through simulation, robotics, and manufacturing.You will act as the Siemens NX (NXX) subject-matter authority , defining modelling best practices, methodologies, and automation patterns, while partnering closely with engineering leadership to scale effective ways of working.

What You’ll Do

• Mechanical, Electrical, Robotics, Simulation, and Controls Engineering teams
• The PLM Architect, who owns Teamcenter X configuration, data schema, and lifecycle governance
• IT and Platform teams, to ensure secure, performant, and scalable tooling environments
• The IT Director, to align engineering tooling strategy with company growth
• Engineering CAD & ECAD Platform Ownership
• Own the installation, configuration, and optimisation of Siemens NX (NXX) and Altium Designer for mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
• Define and maintain NX modelling methodologies , templates, drafting standards, and reuse libraries.
• Act as the NX best-practice authority and escalation point for modelling, assemblies, WAVE linking, parametrics, and performance.
• Ensure tooling configuration supports consistent, scalable engineering practices rather than ad-hoc usage.
• Digital Engineering & Robotics Integration
• Enable reliable CAD → simulation → robotics data pipelines across mechanical, electrical, and controls domains.
• Support and guide engineers in generating and maintaining URDF-compatible robot models from NX.
• Define workflows for geometry simplification, joint configuration, mesh preparation, and coordinate-system discipline.
• Maintain and improve integration pipelines for Isaac Sim / Omniverse , including USD conversion, asset libraries, and validation practices.
• Ensure consistency of kinematics, mass properties, and interfaces between CAD, simulation, and deployed robotic systems.
• Automation & Engineering Velocity
• Develop and maintain automation scripts and tooling using NXOpen, Python, or equivalent to remove repetitive manual work.
• Streamline engineering data flows from design through simulation and manufacturing.
• Proactively identify friction points in the engineering toolchain and implement pragmatic improvements.
• Enable engineers to move faster without sacrificing data quality or downstream reliability.
• MCAD / ECAD Data & Release Enablement
• Define standards for MCAD–ECAD alignment , including housings, PCBs, connectors, harnessing, and subsystem integration.
• Maintain governance over standard component libraries for both NX and Altium, in partnership with engineering leads.
• Support design reviews, BOM validation, configuration control, and release-to-build workflows.
• Collaborate with the PLM Architect to ensure CAD practices align cleanly with Teamcenter X lifecycle and change-management processes.

We’re Looking For

• Deep, hands-on expertise in Siemens NX (NXX) within production engineering environments and strong experience on NX best practice.
• Demonstrated experience defining and enforcing CAD methodologies and best practices , not just using the tool.
• Strong understanding of top-down modelling, skeleton models, WAVE linking, parametric design , and assembly performance.
• Experience integrating CAD data into simulation and robotics workflows (e.g. URDF, digital twins, kinematic models).
• Practical automation experience using NXOpen, Python, or similar , applied to real engineering problems.
• Ability to work credibly with senior mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, scale-up environment — pragmatic, outcome-driven, and ownership-oriented.
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical standards into everyday engineering practice.

Desirable

• Experience working alongside Teamcenter X or similar PLM platforms .
• Exposure to Altium Designer and MCAD–ECAD collaboration workflows.
• Familiarity with robotics simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim, Omniverse, or equivalent .
• Experience supporting multi-disciplinary engineering teams in robotics, mechatronics, or complex electromechanical products.

Prior experience improving engineering velocity through tooling or automation.

What We Offer
