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 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.

Role Outline A truly unique opportunity to join a high profile robotics company, renowned for inventing the world’s most engaging interactive humanoid robot, Ameca.

Engineered Arts value the creative and technical elements of product development in equal measure, our superpower is combining them to unleash the most engaging user experiences.

We create leading edge robot hardware with unparalleled fidelity, and the advanced operating system and development platform which brings it to life.

All Ameca robots are designed and manufactured at our HQ in Falmouth, Cornwall. Much of the parts manufacture is conducted on-site, however as we grow we are outsourcing more part manufacture to increase capacity. All final assembly and commissioning work is carried out at HQ.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Quality Control Engineer to oversee the quality of our manufactured products, from parts coming off our machines in-house, to sub-contracted parts, off the shelf components, sub-assemblies and final full-robot assemblies. This role will be responsible for ensuring that every robot is fit for use and is sent out into the world to dazzle and delight all who meet it.

This is an exciting time in our evolution and as a scale-up business, this role has the opportunity to grow along with our operations, to define the processes we require now and in the future and own the production QA/QC function.
