Prototype Production Technician

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.


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 Prototype Production Technician, you’ll be responsible for assembling, reworking, and troubleshooting robotic systems—ranging from subassemblies to full integrated prototypes. You’ll work directly 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.

What You’ll Do

Hands-On Assembly & Integration

• Build electro-mechanical and mechatronic assemblies according to CAD, drawings, and work instructions.
• Perform precise mechanical assembly, harness routing, sensor installation, and connectorization.
• Support first-article builds, iterations, and rapid design changes.
• Flag issues early and collaborate with engineering to implement fixes.

Support Validation, Debug & Test

• Assist in functional testing of subassemblies and full robots.
• Identify and resolve build or performance issues in real time.
• Work closely with test and integration teams to ensure system readiness.

Maintain Build Quality & Traceability

• Follow prototype production processes, including documentation and version control.
• Record issues, improvements, and build feedback to drive continuous improvement.
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of lab and build environments.

Be a High-Speed Collaborator

• Communicate clearly with engineers, fellow technicians, and operations.
• Adapt quickly to changing priorities—jump in wherever help is needed.
• Contribute ideas to improve speed, reliability, and quality of builds.

We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in prototype assembly, technician work, or low-rate production of complex systems.
• Proven ability to work with mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems—ideally in robotics, aerospace, or automotive.
• 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 Have:

• Experience with robotic arms, actuators, or complex mechatronic subsystems
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, or other issue-tracking tools
• Experience supporting test or validation environments

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan
• Paid vacation with adjustments based on your location to comply with local labor laws
• Travel opportunities to our Vancouver and Boston offices
• Office perks: free breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and regular team events
• 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
