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

We're hiring a Software Control Teleoperation Engineer to join our Control team based in London.

We are seeking aTeleoperation Software Engineer to build the next generation ofVR-based, low-latency teleoperation for humanoid robots.

You will design and implementreal-time communication and visualization software that connects human operators to robots throughVR headsets, motion tracking systems, and wireless video streaming - enabling fluid, natural, and data-rich human-robot interaction.

The role combinesimmersive VR development,wireless networking, andreal-time data integration, with thegoal of creating high-fidelity, data-collection-centric teleoperation experiences that allow humans to intuitively control robots while generating valuable learning data.

What You’ll Do

• Develop immersive VR control experiences usinghead-mounted displays (HMDs), motion-tracked controllers, and full-body capture systems.

• Architect and implementultra-low-latency wireless communication pipelines for synchronizedvideo, depth, and motion data streaming.

• Design and optimizeencoding, compression, and transmission of multi-camera video feeds for real-time operation.

• Integratestereo video and depth data intoUnity-based VR environments, ensuring accurate spatial alignment and responsiveness.

• Implementsensor fusion and motion filtering to achieve stable, high-fidelity human-to-robot motion mapping.

• Own theUX design and interaction logic for the VR teleoperation experience — ensuring comfort, precision, and intuitiveness.

• Build tools forsession recording, data annotation, and synchronization to support scalable data-collection workflows.

• Validate performance under realisticwireless-network conditions (latency, bandwidth, and signal variability).

What We're Looking For

• M.S. or Ph.D. inComputer Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field.

• 5+ years of experience inVR/AR, real-time communication, orinteractive 3D application development.

• Proficiency inC++ and Python, with experience inUnity (C#) or similar VR/AR development environments.

• Strong understanding oflow-latency video and depth streaming,wireless networking, andreal-time synchronization.

• Hands-on experience withVR headsets (e.g., Meta Quest, Vive),motion capture (e.g. OptiTrack), andtracking systems (Xsense suit).

• Proven ability to design and implementintuitive, high-performance user experiences in immersive environments.

Nice to have:

• Experience integratingVR-based teleoperation orremote-presence control systems.

• Familiarity withWebRTC,ROS 2, orcustom real-time communication protocols.

• Understanding ofstereo vision,3D reconstruction, andmulti-sensor calibration.

• Background inhuman-computer interaction,spatial UX design, ormixed-reality visualization.

• Strong analytical and debugging skills for real-time, distributed systems.

What We Offer

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

• Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.

• Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.

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

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

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

• Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
