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 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About The Role

As a Humanoid Robot AI Data Collector, you will teleoperate humanoid robots and follow well-defined procedures to generate high-quality datasets used for training advanced AI models. You will work hands-on with physical robots using on-site tools and interfaces—such as the

Universal Manipulator Interface (UMI)—to execute structured tasks and capture precise data. A significant part of the role involves annotation and labeling, requiring strong focus, accuracy, and pride in craftsmanship.

This role is for individuals who thrive in a fast-moving, team-oriented environment; who take ownership, communicate openly, and embrace continuous learning. No technical background or formal education is required; full training is provided. This is a fully on-site role, working hands-on with robots and on-site systems such as UMI, and may involve periods of standing, regular movement, and interaction with physical hardware; the position is shift-based on a weekly rota(06:30–14:30 and 14:30–22:30), and includes travel requirements in line with business needs.

What You'll Do

  • Teleoperate humanoid robots with consistency, precision, and a strong sense of ownership over data quality.

  • Perform on-site data collection using tools such as the Universal Manipulator Interface (UMI).

  • Capture and organise multimodal data (e.g., video, motion trajectories, task logs) with high accuracy and attention to detail.

  • Annotate and label data following strict guidelines, treating the work as a high-skill technical discipline.

  • Identify anomalies or issues proactively and escalate or solve them at the lowest responsible level.

  • Suggest improvements to workflows, processes, or tools—everyone contributes to process design.

  • Maintain clear, transparent documentation of progress and dataset quality.

  • Move with urgency and focus, ensuring timelines and daily goals are met.

  • Communicate openly with team members, sharing feedback and observations across functions.

  • Collaborate respectfully and positively with teammates, helping create a supportive and high-performing culture.

We're Looking For:

  • No formal technical education required — full training will be provided.

  • Comfortable using computers and digital interfaces.

  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to follow precise instructions.

  • Strong time management, urgency, and reliability in meeting daily/weekly targets.

  • Ability to maintain focus and high-quality output during repetitive tasks.

  • Proactive mindset — willingness to take initiative without waiting for direction.

  • Clear, transparent communication skills for reporting findings and collaborating with the team.

  • Commitment to iterative learning, continuous feedback, and constant improvement.

  • Interest in robotics, AI, or emerging technologies is welcome but not required.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary

  • Paid vacation

  • Travel opportunities to our London and Vancouver offices

  • Comprehensive health insurance coverage

  • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives

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

  • Startup culture prioritising speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy
