VP of AI

This is not just another AI role – it’s your opportunity to define the intelligence behind the next generation of humanoid robotics and shape the future of how machines perceive, reason, and act in the real world.

At Humanoid, we’re building the most advanced, safe, and scalable humanoid robots ever developed. Our flagship model, HMND 01, is designed to transform entire industries through autonomous labour and embodied intelligence. Now, we’re searching for a visionary VP of AI to lead the development of the cognitive systems that will power this transformation.

ur 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.

Responsibilities

• AI Roadmap
  Define and drive the AI strategy across the full stack from research to deployment.
• Freedom to Innovate
  Determine what our robots should be able to do, how they learn, and how they evolve responsibly in the real world.
• Build & Lead a World-Class Team
  Assemble a high-performance unit focused on perception, planning, LLM integration, and sensorimotor control. You’ll attract and lead some of the best minds in the field.
• Set the Standard
  Your work will be foundational. Within 12–24 months, you’ll help establish an architecture that could become a blueprint for the industry with your signature on it.
• Operate Without Bureaucracy
  No layers. No permission layers. Just trust and speed. This is an opportunity to lead at pace with real ownership and influence.

Expertise

• Proven Track Record of Impact
  You are a recognised leader in AI, robotics, or related fields with a history of impactful publications, patents, or projects, with a proven track record of delivering autonomous systems at scale. 
• Deep Domain Expertise
  Experience in embodied cognition, perception, decision-making, and multi-modal learning is key.
• Vision & Systems Thinking
  You see the bigger picture. You think years ahead, creating AI systems that don’t just work, but define the future of humanoid robotics.
• Inspiring Leadership
  You’ve successfully built and led high-performing teams on cutting-edge AI and robotics projects. People trust your judgement and want to follow your lead.
• Entrepreneurial Energy
  This isn’t a traditional corporate role. We need someone with an entrepreneurial spirit who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and can innovate without boundaries.

Benefits

• High competitive salary + stock options.
