Boston, US
Senior Robotics Prototype 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.
What You’ll Do
- Lead troubleshooting and resolution of complex electrical issues in prototype humanoid robots, including operational and in-development systems; perform detailed failure analysis and share learnings with hardware/software engineering teams.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineers on prototype design, assembly, and bring-up, especially high-density electromechanical integrations.
- Create, maintain, and execute clear test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and repair runbooks for the prototyping lab to ensure high standards and rapid iteration cycles.
- Design, document, and iterate on cable assemblies, test jigs, and harnesses optimized for repeated use on dynamic robotic platforms.
- Identify and own opportunities for continuous process and product improvement—minimizing downtime and improving test/repair efficiency.
- Contribute to robust feedback loops across design, build, and test, driving first-pass yield and manufacturability.
We’re Looking For:
- Demonstrated experience in rapid physical prototyping, hands-on debug of custom hardware, and troubleshooting complex electrical systems in robotics or similar domains.
- Working knowledge of low-voltage and mixed-signal circuits, connectors, sensors, and compact electromechanical systems.
- Track record communicating concisely via documentation—procedures, test plans, diagnostics, and lessons learned.
- Adept collaborating across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering boundaries to solve urgent, ambiguous issues.
- Comfortable in a high-velocity, high-ambiguity startup setting where priorities shift fast.
- Experience designing for manufacturability and reliability in the context of human-sized or mobile robotics is a plus.
- Familiarity with automated test and diagnostic tools used in modern hardware labs.
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan
- Paid vacation
- Comprehensive health insurance coverage
- Office perks: lunches, snacks, and regular team events
- Travel opportunities to our London and Vancouver offices
- Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives
- Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics
- Startup culture prioritizing speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy
