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 Platform Software Engineer at Humanoid, you will be at the heart of developing the core OS, data networks and protocols, and fundamental software subsystems for our next-generation humanoid robots. You will help develop the foundational software architectures that allow high fidelity robotic controls and AI development. You will be responsible for writing high-integrity software that runs on our robots, integrating sensors, safety systems, and computing platforms to enable safe human-robot collaboration.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to take full ownership of new systems and directly contribute to the development of our future products. If you are interested in complex embedded software projects, thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, and want to make a real impact on the future of human-robot interaction, we want you on our team!

What You'll Do

• Design & Create Embedded Software: Develop and validate embedded software that ensures our robots can operate at scale in the real world.
• Hardware & Software Integration: Work at the intersection of hardware and software to integrate various robotic components (e.g., sensors, actuators, computing platforms) into a cohesive, fault-tolerant system.
• Lead Cross-Functional Projects: Lead interdisciplinary projects that involve robotic perception, computing subsystems, and software integration, collaborating with engineers across multiple domains.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience developing and deploying production software in embedded systems running Linux (C++, C, Rust, Python, Go).
• Experience developing time-sensitive, performance critical applications.
• Thorough understanding of Ethernet and IP networking and higher-level protocols like HTTP or gRPC.

What We Offer

• Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid bank holidays and company holidays.
• Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.
• Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
• Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in‑office.
• Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
• Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
