The Role
Design and develop mechanical components, linkages, joints, and mechanisms for humanoid robots. Apply CAD and GD&T standards, select materials and manufacturing methods, lead prototyping, integrate components with electrical and software systems, conduct safety assessments and mechanical testing, and produce technical drawings, specifications, and BOMs.
Summary Generated by Built In

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 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About the Role

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and develop advanced humanoid robots. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanical design, system integration, and GD&T based on ASME Y14.5, along with experience in optimizing robotic systems for performance and manufacturability.

What You’ll Do
  • Develop components for humanoid robots (e.g., frames, actuators, joints) using CAD software, applying GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5) to ensure precision and manufacturability.

  • Design robotic linkages and mechanisms with a focus on efficient motion and performance optimization.

  • Choose materials and manufacturing methods that balance strength, weight, and cost, ensuring feasibility and reliability.

  • Lead the prototyping phase, utilizing tools like 3D printing and CNC machining to validate designs.

  • Work with electrical engineers and software developers to integrate mechanical components into robotic systems.

  • Ensure designs meet safety standards, conducting risk assessments and applying necessary safety features.

  • Perform mechanical testing to verify design performance and durability.

  • Produce detailed technical documentation, including drawings, specifications, and BOMs, adhering to GD&T principles.

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals.

We’re Looking For
  • Strong background in mechanical design, statics, dynamics, and material science.

  • Skilled in CAD tools (SolidWorks), with the ability to apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to designs.

  • Familiarity with manufacturing methods like CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding.

  • Hands-on experience building and testing prototypes.

  • Understanding of safety standards (e.g., ISO 10218) and risk assessment.

  • Strong analytical skills to tackle complex engineering challenges.

  • Clear verbal and written communication for effective teamwork.

 
What We Offer
  • Comprehensive extended health benefits starting on your first day, including fully paid medical and dental, virtual care, employee and family assistance, and worldwide emergency medical support.

  • Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.

  • Paid end-of-year shutdown: annual company-wide holiday closure spanning Christmas through New Year’s Day.

  • Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.

  • Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in‑office.

  • Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.

  • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.

 

For this role in Vancouver, the expected base salary range is $110,000 – $150,000 CAD per year; your placement in that range depends on how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
