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.

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

As a Robotics Technician (Mechatronics), you’ll be building the precise, complex, humanoid robots from component-level up to complete build. You’ll work with hardware engineering, systems integration, test, and advanced manufacturing to ensure our builds are executed accurately and efficiently, supporting a fast-paced R&D environment where every day counts.

This is a unique opportunity to be an integral part of the AI robotics revolution.

What You’ll Do

Start: September 2026

Assembly

  • Build electro-mechanical assemblies according to CAD, drawings, and work instructions.

  • Perform precise mechanical assembly using standard hand tools, adhesive applicators, crimp tools, torque wrenches, and labellers.

  • Route complex harnesses according to instructions provided, labelling and securing as defined.

  • Apply and record serial numbers to tracked assets

Bringup and test

  • Configure and test sensors, actuators and communication devices using command-line tooling and electronics test equipment

  • Diagnose and repair faults using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and PCB repair equipment, liaising with engineering as necessary

  • Execute and monitor validation scripts

  • Compile source code from git/GitLab/GitHub

  • Build compute assemblies using ESD techniques

  • Repair, rework and upgrade through-hole and surface-mount PCBs

  • Make and repair electrical harnesses using crimp and labelling tools

  • Testing of assemblies using jigs, fixtures, electrical test equipment, and compute devices

  • Document findings and the results of tests

Culture and Quality

  • Adopt and support the team culture to drive collaboration and morale

  • Treat the tools and equipment with respect, maintaining them as necessary and reporting faults and damage

  • Engage in ongoing and regular activities to maintain the cleanliness and tidiness of the workshop

Be a High-Speed Collaborator

  • Communicate clearly and effectively with fellow technicians, engineers, and leadership.

  • Adapt quickly to changing priorities—jump in wherever help is needed.

  • Contribute ideas to improve the speed, reliability, and quality of builds.

We’re Looking For

  • 3+ year of experience in electromechanical assembly or prototype development

  • Proven ability to work with mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems—ideally in robotics, aerospace, or automotive.

  • Electronics and embedded system experience

  • Working in a Unix environment with command-line shell/bash

  • Git/GitLab/Github use

  • Strong attention to detail and a deep sense of build quality and safety.

  • Ability to read CAD, mechanical drawings, and wiring diagrams.

  • Hands-on experience with common tools, fixtures, soldering, torqueing, etc.

  • You move fast, stay organized, and take pride in solving problems in real time.

  • Comfortable working in a fluid, high-urgency environment with evolving designs and short timelines.

Nice-to-haves

Candidates may benefit from additional experience in:

  • Experienced in surface-mount and through-hole PCB rework

  • Control and diagnostics with ROS

What We Offer

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

  • 30+ days time off, including 23 days annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).

  • Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.

  • Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

  • Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.

  • Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.

  • Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
