Robotics Engineering Technician

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

Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.


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.

What 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.

What We Offer

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

• 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of 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.
