Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha—our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots—and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About The Role
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and optimizing embedded systems for cutting-edge robotic applications. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, you will create robust, high-performance solutions for real-world challenges.
What You’ll Do
