London, UK
Robotics Integration Engineer
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.
What You’ll Do
- Fleet Support & Root Cause Analysis (Immediate Impact)
- Triage & Debug: Act as the first line of engineering defense for newly built robots. When a robot fails in the field or the lab, you investigate why.
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Deep dive into mechanical, electrical, and software logs to identify the source of failures. You will distinguish between a “bad part,” a “bad assembly,” or a “bad design.”
- Feedback Loop: Document your findings and feed them back to the design team, allowing them to focus on long-term fixes rather than daily firefighting.
- Sensor Evaluation (R&D)
- Component Shootouts: We have multiple options for LiDARs, Depth Cameras, and ToF sensors, but we need data to make the final decision. You will build test rigs and run “shootout” tests to compare candidates against each other.
- Test Rig Creation: Design and build quick-turn mechanical and electrical rigs to mount and test new sensors (e.g., measuring the drift of a LiDAR or the low-light performance of a camera).
- Data Analysis: Capture raw sensor data and assess signal quality, noise levels, and integration feasibility. Your reports will determine which components make it into the BOM.
- System Integration
- Parallel Workstreams: As the robot design matures, the complexity will increase. You will manage specific integration streams (e.g., the vision subsystem or the power distribution subsystem) to ensure different modules fit together physically and logically.
- Prototype Builds: Lead the physical assembly and bring-up of early prototypes, verifying that cables route correctly and thermal interfaces are making contact
We’re Looking For:
- Experience: 3+ years in Robotics, Mechatronics, or Systems Engineering. You have taken a robot from “parts on a table” to “working on the ground.”
- Hardware Debugging: You are comfortable using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers to debug harness and PCB issues. You aren’t afraid to strip wires or solder a patch cable.
- Sensor Knowledge: Solid understanding of robotics perception hardware. You understand the difference between Global Shutter and Rolling Shutter, or how Lidar point density affects navigation.
- Software Competency: Familiarity in Linux and Python to write/modify scripts that capture sensor data. Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 to visualize data (RViz) and check topics. Familiarity with Git, bootloader and firmware updates.
- Nice-to-Have:
- Mechanical CAD experience (SolidWorks/Siemens NX) to design simple sensor mounts/brackets.
- Experience with thermal management (heat sinks, fans) for high-performance compute and sensors.
- Familiarity with Jira/Confluence for tracking bugs and documenting RCAs.
Tech Stack & Tools - Sensors: 2D/3D LiDAR, Stereo Cameras, Time-of-Flight (ToF), IMUs
- Software: ROS2, Python, Bash, Ubuntu Linux
- Hardware Tools: Saleae Logic Analyzer, Oscilloscope, Soldering Station, 3D Printers
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
