Humanoid is building the world's most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots.
HMND-01 Alpha is a rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots.
Responsibilities
Own Design-for-Serviceability for software: ensure the robot's software, firmware, and AI stack can be diagnosed, updated, and recovered in the field with minimal skill.
Collaborate with R&D to build and validate diagnostic scripts, tooling, and self-test routines that localise faults as deep as possible in the BOM.
Define and own the software diagnostic content in the Digital Shadow platform: remote diagnostics, fleet-pattern detection, and AR-guided execution.
Validate the software and AI dimension of service, repair, calibration and OTA procedures before production release.
Own firmware, bootloader, and calibration serviceability, including recovery paths for failed updates.
Support New Services Introduction (NSI) for software, and act as the single point of entry from Services into R&D for software escalations.
Requirements
Strong software engineering for robotics or embedded systems: ROS2, Bash, and Ubuntu/Linux, with bootloader/firmware workflows.
Proficiency in Python (and ideally C++) for diagnostics, tooling, and automation.
Hands-on experience diagnosing robots or complex electromechanical systems.
Working understanding of sensor and actuator stacks (2D/3D LiDAR, RGB cameras, motors/actuators).
A design-for-serviceability mindset.
Disciplined engineering practice and version control (Git).
Nice to have
Experience deploying AI/ML on robots and diagnosing model or behaviour issues in the field.
Familiarity with remote-diagnostics or fleet-telemetry platforms.
Experience authoring service documentation or work instructions consumed by non-engineers.
Exposure to Design-for-Serviceability / DfMA on a hardware product line.
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 with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts.
Real ownership with direct access to founding leadership.
