About the company
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.
Responsibilities
- Design Power Electronics: Design and validate power distribution boards (PDBs) and power architectures for embedded and robotic systems.
- Design Sensor Electronics: Design sensor and interface electronics for cameras, encoders, MCUs and other sensing/compute hardware.
- Own PCBA Design: Design PCBAs and wiring harnesses using Altium, including connectors for cross-subsystem interfaces.
- Select Power Components: Select and integrate regulators, battery management systems and PoE injectors within tight weight, size and thermal constraints.
- Rapidly Prototype Electronics: Prototype designs — breadboarding, proto/rework boards — to validate concepts ahead of full PCBA spins.
- Bring Up & Debug Boards: Support hardware bring-up, debugging and validation alongside the firmware team, using standard bench equipment.
- Own the BOM: Own the electrical BOM, component datasheets, and relevant safety/EMI considerations.
- Support DFM/DFA: Support design-for-manufacture and design-for-assembly as designs move from prototype toward scaled production.
Requirements
- Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field, with 4+ years' experience spanning both power and sensor/interface electronics.
- Experience with power electronics: regulators, battery management systems, Power-over-Ethernet and power distribution board design.
- Proficient in Altium for schematic capture and PCBA layout, with experience in low-voltage DC power distribution and connector/harness design.
- Understanding of sensor and communication interfaces: SPI, MIPI, I2C, CAN, EtherCAT and Ethernet.
- Capable of rapid electronics prototyping and comfortable bringing up and debugging PCBAs using standard bench equipment.
- Comfortable working in a high-paced, hands-on hardware engineering environment.
- Nice to have: FPGA design experience; Experience designing electronics for wearable or compact human-worn products; Thermal management experience for compact, sealed enclosures; Exposure to EMC/safety certification processes.
Conditions
- 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.
