Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.
Our Mission
At Humanoid we strive to create the world’s leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life and amplify human capacity.
Vision
In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge, inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose what they want to do. We believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true evolution of our civilization.
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
We’re looking for a hands-on
Senior Robotics Engineer
to turn our robotics stack into a working product. This isn’t a coordination-only role. You’ll write code, integrate subsystems, debug real robots, and build the software layer that brings everything together for the end user.
You’ll lead a small team focused on application-level logic. This is where everything meets: controls, navigation, perception, learning, and platform. Your goal is to ship a cohesive, usable system that runs reliably in the real world.
You’ll work closely with engineers across the company, make practical decisions, build prototypes, and iterate fast. We want someone who’s not afraid to plug in, test in hardware, and own the product experience from the software side.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and maintain the top-level robot application code
- Integrate modules from other teams: controls, navigation, CV, RL, platform
- Build and evolve the application-side architecture and interfaces
- Make pragmatic technical decisions to accelerate delivery
- Collaborate with the product team on trade-offs and priorities
- Debug systems in both simulation and real-world hardware
- Occasionally travel to customer sites to test and validate deployments
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in robotics or related fields
- Strong C++ skills and experience building production systems
- Solid understanding of robotic systems: control, navigation, perception, learning
- Experience with ROS/ROS2 or equivalent middleware
- Ability to read, understand, and integrate code from other teams
- Willingness to get hands-on with robots, test setups, and tools
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Nice to Have
- Experience deploying robots in the field or at customer sites
- Familiarity with telemetry, logging, and system diagnostics
- Exposure to operator UX and teleoperation systems
- Comfort working under uncertainty and with real-world constraints
Benefits
- High competitive salary.
- 23 working days of vacation per year.
- Flexible working hours.
- Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI and Robotics.
- Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.
