Jobs at Humanoid

Develop and own robotics controls testing, validation, and hardware-in-the-loop infrastructure. Define repeatability and accuracy metrics, expand automated testing, validate new hardware integrations, and diagnose failures across controls, firmware, and hardware. Build observability and diagnostic tooling, perform real-robot bring-up, and maintain engineering documentation and runbooks. The role requires strong control theory, modern C++, Python, robotics hardware experience, data analysis judgment, and cross-stack debugging skills.

Build automated control-quality metrics, evaluation pipelines, and deterministic test infrastructure for humanoid robots. Develop simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing integrated with CI, establish fleet-level performance benchmarks, track robot variation and degradation, and create dashboards for control health. The role requires robotics experience, strong Python, modern C++, data-analysis judgment, ROS/ROS2, synchronization, and test automation expertise.

Support compensation and benefits strategy, salary benchmarking, job evaluations, employee benefits, payroll processes, UK compliance, incentive schemes, and reward programs. The role partners with HR, Finance, leadership, and employees to maintain competitive compensation structures and improve satisfaction and retention.

Own end-to-end visual design projects for Humanoid, from concept through delivery. Develop the brand identity, guidelines, and design systems across presentations, packaging, web, social, merchandise, and environmental graphics. Translate technical robotics and product concepts into clear, compelling visuals, collaborate with hardware and product teams, and coordinate with motion talent on animated content. Present and defend creative work to senior stakeholders while maintaining quality in a fast-moving environment.

Own planning and execution of complex humanoid robotics programs from concept through deployment. Coordinate globally distributed hardware and software teams, manage scope, schedule, cost, risks, dependencies, suppliers, and cross-functional workstreams. Drive alignment, remove blockers, communicate with stakeholders, and apply technical judgment across systems, safety, mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, AI/ML, integration, testing, production, and supply chain.

Create video and photography content for robot launches, labs, social platforms, YouTube, events, and internal communications. Film, photograph, edit, color grade, add sound design and motion graphics, manage production equipment, and optimize content for different platforms. Collaborate with creative, design, product, and engineering teams while independently managing shoots and edits in a fast-changing environment.

Develop and own real-time firmware and embedded software for humanoid robot subsystems, including motion control, sensor and actuator interfaces, communication networks, hardware abstraction layers, and low-level drivers. Integrate and test hardware and software, optimize performance under system constraints, implement communication protocols, troubleshoot embedded systems, and document architecture and validation results. Collaborate with multidisciplinary robotics, mechanical, electrical, controls, and AI teams from concept through deployment.

Serve as a finance partner supporting budgeting, forecasting, spend approvals, cash-flow monitoring, liquidity analysis, scenario modeling, and leadership reporting. Build financial models for hardware unit economics and scaling, analyze variances and KPIs, apply IFRS/GAAP knowledge, and research R&D tax credits, grants, incentives, and regulatory requirements. Support decision-making across a multi-entity, multi-currency robotics business while collaborating with tax and treasury teams.

Design, develop, and optimize embedded firmware for humanoid robots. Integrate sensors, actuators, and communication modules; implement real-time software and communication protocols; perform hardware testing, validation, and troubleshooting; collaborate across mechanical and electrical teams; document designs, code, and test results.

Lead testing, calibration, characterization, and modeling of actuators, grippers, and robotic subsystems. Design and build test rigs, develop automated hardware+software test systems, run lifecycle/stress/thermal tests, analyze results, and collaborate with design, firmware, controls, and manufacturing to stabilize and accelerate hardware integration.

Lead hands-on prototyping, assembly, diagnosis, and repair of humanoid robots. Troubleshoot complex electrical issues, create test procedures and repair runbooks, design cable assemblies and test jigs, and drive process and product reliability improvements across multidisciplinary teams.

Design power distribution and sensor/interface electronics for robot end effectors and human-worn interfaces. Own PCBA designs in Altium, select power components (regulators, BMS, PoE), prototype and bring up boards, debug with firmware and test equipment, manage BOM and DFM/DFAs toward production.

Lead global accounting, controllership, and consolidation across multi-entity international operations. Build intercompany and transfer-pricing frameworks, own month‑end and year‑end close, prepare IFRS/GAAP financial statements, manage audits, optimize SAP, implement AI automation, design controls for IPO-readiness, and grow a distributed global accounting team.

Build and ship platform infrastructure focused on device identity and security: secure boot, disk encryption, device attestation, key management, certificate lifecycle, and cloud enrollment. Write production-quality backend and provisioning tooling, collaborate with firmware, cloud, and operations teams, learn from a senior mentor, and use AI-assisted development tools. Work on-site in San Diego to support fleet-scale provisioning, deployment, and device security at scale.

Bring up, integrate, and validate electronics for robot end-effectors and operator devices. Debug hardware across electrical, mechanical, and firmware boundaries, integrate sensors and compute platforms, verify communication interfaces, develop calibration and diagnostics, support test rigs and validation, and document interfaces and procedures.

Develop and maintain embedded firmware and drivers for robot end effectors and operator devices; integrate sensors and compute platforms; implement hardware communication interfaces; bring up and debug PCBs; create calibration, power sequencing, and fault-detection routines; support component selection and maintain OTA/image provisioning pipelines.

Build, assemble and maintain prototype hardware and test rigs from CAD/BOM to working units. Operate 3D printers, CNC and workshop tools, prototype with MCUs, support hardware testing/trials, maintain shop inventory, and provide build and serviceability feedback to design teams under tight timelines.

Design, train, and deploy reinforcement learning policies for humanoid dynamic locomotion and loco-manipulation. Build scalable simulation and training pipelines, design rewards/observations/curricula, improve sim-to-real transfer, and integrate learned policies into the robot control stack with iterative hardware experiments.

Lead and operate Humanoid's corporate IT environment: manage endpoints, identity, networking, and cyber defenses (EDR/SIEM/vulnerability management). Oversee device lifecycle, MAM/SSO/MFA, vendor contracts, connectivity for offices/labs, and enforce policies and recovery procedures aligned with ISO27001/SOC2/GDPR. Monitor IT/security health, report risks to IT leadership, and feed improvements into the IT roadmap.

Lead end-to-end programme delivery for a bipedal humanoid robot fleet, coordinating Product, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain and Finance to deliver prototypes to production on time, budget, and quality. Maintain plans, risk registers, budgets, and governance; translate technical KPIs into programme metrics; partner with TPMs and suppliers to manage integration, testing, certification, and mass-deployment.
