Jobs at Humanoid

Owns the end-to-end expediting of open purchase orders for robotics manufacturing, tracking supplier acknowledgements, delivery dates, shortages, logistics, receipts, discrepancies, and documentation. The role coordinates with suppliers, buyers, planning, production, engineering, quality, finance, warehouses, and freight forwarders across London, Boston, and Vancouver. It also maintains order and supplier performance data, escalates delivery risks, and improves expediting processes.

Leads Humanoid’s applied AI research and engineering function for physical robotics. Sets the technical roadmap, directs Transformer and multimodal model development, defines data and evaluation strategies, and validates models on real robots. The role combines hands-on research with team building, architecture decisions, experiment design, deployment, failure analysis, safety planning, and communication with customers, partners, and investors.

Design and iterate robotic end effectors and wearable operator devices from concept through production handoff. Integrate sensors, cameras, PCBAs, and other electromechanical components; select materials and manufacturing processes; prototype rapidly; and apply DFM/DFA principles. The role includes customer collaboration, requirements development, mechanical validation, structural and durability testing, and coordination with electrical, firmware, prototyping, and manufacturing teams.

Own and operate Humanoid’s cloud data platform, including infrastructure, software services, data workflows, CI/CD, monitoring, security, reliability, and recovery. Translate internal engineering needs into technical work, lead external contractors, review deliverables, and ensure implementations are tested, documented, and production-ready. The role combines hands-on platform, cloud, full-stack, and data engineering with technical delivery leadership.

Develop and deploy learning-based locomotion and whole-body control policies for humanoid robots. Build motion primitives, simulation and training pipelines, and sim-to-real transfer methods using reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and generative models. Integrate and optimize learned policies for real-time robotic control, then evaluate and debug them on physical robots in collaboration with robotics, controls, simulation, and machine learning teams.

Provides administrative, operational, and coordination support to the Business Development team. Responsibilities include CRM and pipeline management, lead qualification and follow-up, customer meeting and demonstration coordination, commercial documentation, reporting, event support, and cross-functional collaboration with Legal, Engineering, and Product. The role also helps improve workflows and requires experience in business development or commercial operations, CRM proficiency, and strong organizational skills.

Leads a new developer productivity team focused on AI coding agents and secure engineering workflows. Builds agent runtimes, developer interfaces, verification systems, CI/CD integrations, and deployment safeguards. Owns the path from agent task through healthy robot deployment, including access controls, monitoring, rollback, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Recruits and leads engineers while remaining hands-on, partnering across developer tools, security, safety, simulation, and robotics to improve engineering velocity, quality, cost, and safety.

Lead executive and senior-level recruiting across robotics, manufacturing, and operations. Own complex searches from market mapping and proactive sourcing through stakeholder alignment, offer strategy, negotiation, and closing. Partner with leadership, build senior talent networks, provide market intelligence, and use ATS platforms, LinkedIn Recruiter, and AI tools to deliver fast, high-quality hiring outcomes.

Leads global commercial contracting, including customer, supplier, manufacturing, reseller, and technology partnership agreements. Drafts and negotiates contracts, advises sales and supply chain teams, manages IP and disputes, oversees outside counsel, and builds the contracting operating model. Implements CLM and AI contract review tools, establishes templates and playbooks, ensures regulatory alignment, and develops the contracts team while advising senior executives.

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.

Lead development of spatial intelligence for humanoid robots, including state estimation, mapping, localization, 3D scene understanding, spatial memory, and semantic navigation. Train and deploy large multimodal models and integrate them into low-latency robot systems running on edge hardware. Drive perception research from model evaluation and dataset benchmarking through reliable production implementation, collaborating across engineering and research teams.

Own business development and sales for robotics solutions across warehouse, logistics, automotive, and manufacturing markets. Lead the full sales cycle, secure pre-sales, partnerships, commercial agreements, and pre-orders, and build relationships with industry decision-makers. Develop ROI analyses and business cases, exceed sales targets, collaborate with product and engineering teams, monitor market trends, and manage P&L and financial modeling in a fast-paced environment.

Own monthly and statutory reporting, group consolidation, close processes, technical accounting, inventory and manufacturing cost accounting, cash flow reporting, audits, and UK statutory accounts. Build scalable controls, accounting policies, reporting processes, and finance systems integrations across global entities. The role requires managing multi-currency consolidation, intercompany eliminations, IFRS and FRS 102 reporting, and supporting ERP and automation improvements in a high-growth robotics company.

Own end-to-end HR operations, including onboarding, offboarding, employee data, contracts, HRIS administration, payroll inputs, benefits, compliance, audits, and vendor relationships. Improve and automate HR workflows, maintain accurate records, ensure UK employment-law compliance, and serve as an escalation point for employee queries. Partner with HR, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Finance, and Legal to build scalable employee lifecycle processes in a fast-growing organization.

Own software serviceability for humanoid robots: design and validate diagnostics, firmware/bootloader recovery, remote-diagnostics content, tooling for fast fault localization, and act as Services interface to R&D. Validate OTA, calibration, and repair procedures and support new service introductions.

Lead ownership of ML models and infrastructure lifecycle: develop, deploy, monitor, and improve ML systems. Build CI/CD for software and ML workflows, automate orchestration and environment management, ensure scalability, reliability, observability, and security, troubleshoot production issues, and document operational procedures while collaborating with engineers, data scientists, and product teams.

Develop and deploy robot manipulation capabilities by training and fine-tuning policies (behavior cloning and RL), curating and preprocessing datasets, iterating simulation/digital twin training, expanding observation/action spaces, partnering with teleoperation, controls and hardware teams to ensure smooth transfer and improve real-world performance.

Execute end-to-end software release validation and regression testing on physical humanoid robots and in simulation. Design and run policy evaluations, compare sim-to-real behavior, collect reliability and performance metrics, maintain CI/CD test suites and dashboards, and ensure test data quality to determine release readiness.

Lead and own the Services Business Process Automation program including SLM platform, BI reporting, and IT/OT integrations. Define roadmap, manage cross-functional deployments end-to-end, govern risks and budgets, measure adoption and SLAs, manage vendors, and translate technical work into executive narratives.

Lead design and implementation of SLAM, state estimation, long-term mapping, and localization systems for humanoid robots. Integrate modern ML and foundation geometry models into navigation pipelines, build auto-labeling data workflows, deploy and benchmark spatial AI on edge hardware, and bridge research to production for robust, low-latency robot navigation in dynamic real-world environments.
