Role Outline

Help us turn bolts, bearings, and brilliant ideas into humanoid robots.

We’re assembling the next generation of humanoid robots, and we’re looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Assembly Engineer to help bring them to life. If you love turning complex designs into physical reality and aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty, this is your chance to build the future - literally.

Whether you’re early in your career or deeply experienced, what matters most is a great attitude, clever problem-solving, and a willingness to learn fast.

Main Responsibilities

• Assemble humanoid robot subsystems from the ground up, including mechanical and electrical sub-assemblies and components
• Identify assembly issues early and give real, practical feedback that improves future designs and manufacturability
• Turn CAD into reality by building first-of-their-kind prototypes and iterating fast when designs change (which they will)
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to debug, refine, and improve robot designs and functionality

Challenges

• Balancing speed with precision in a fast-moving environment
• Working through occasional ambiguity and making smart decisions with incomplete information
• Keeping builds clean, safe, and reliable, even under tight timelines
• Iterating quickly as designs evolve, components change, and priorities shift

Qualifications, Knowledge, Key Skills, and Experience

Essential

• Strong hands-on mechanical assembly skills
• Extensive experience using hand tools and power tools
• Familiarity with interpreting CAD models, engineering drawings, and assembly documentation
• Attention to detail and pride in clean, well-built assemblies
• Clear communication skills for giving practical feedback to engineers across disciplines
• Willingness to learn quickly and adapt as designs, tools, and processes evolve
• Strong work ethic, positive attitude, and a clever, hands-on approach to solving problems

Desirable

• Experience assembling complex electromechanical systems (robots, drones, or similar)
• Experience using small-scale automated test equipment
• Basic understanding of electrical wiring, sensors, and cable management in electromechanical assemblies or industrial environments
• Hands-on experience with 3D printing, rapid prototyping, or CNC-machined parts
• Knowledge of materials, tolerances, and mechanical and electrical testing methods

About Engineered Arts

Engineered Arts is the leading manufacturer of full-size humanoid robots used for entertainment, education and communication. With 20 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Meta and many more.

Our Ameca robot is well known as ‘the face of AI’ and a social media viral success, taking advantage of the generative AI craze. Along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures our robots continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research. Our robots are poised to break into the future mega-expansion service robot segment, with applications such as front of house, receptions, check-in desks, information points and PoS. We are also exploring how our humanoid robot technology can disrupt other robotics sectors such as the growing cobot sub-segment of the industrial robotics market.

We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. Our internal motto is ‘ Be Wow ’, everything we do is fun, entertaining or surprising to encounter. We always push the boundaries of what is possible in humanoid robotics, researching and developing new systems and techniques to further their appeal. We explore and challenge the human perception of robots as well as the fear and discomfort and the excitement and joy life-like mechanical humanoids present.

At Engineered Arts, innovation is at the core of everything we do — and we believe true innovation only happens when diverse minds come together.

We are committed to building a workplace where people of all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives feel welcome, supported, and empowered to contribute. Whether you’re an engineer, developer, or creative thinker, we value what makes you unique.

We actively promote inclusion across our hiring, design, and development practices, and we’re always looking for new ways to reflect the world around us — in our team, our robots, and our ideas.

Because building the future means including everyone in it.”

We are committed to equal opportunity in employment and comply with all applicable non-discrimination and equal employment laws in the regions where we operate.
