Job description

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.

About the Role

As a Robotics Technician (Mechatronics), you’ll be building the precise, complex, humanoid robots from component-level up to complete build. You’ll work 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.

This is a unique opportunity to be an integral part of the AI robotics revolution

What You'll Do

Start: September 2026

• Assembly

  • Build electro-mechanical assemblies according to CAD, drawings, and work instructions.

  • Perform precise mechanical assembly using standard hand tools, adhesive applicators, crimp tools, torque wrenches, and labellers.

  • Route complex harnesses according to instructions provided, labelling and securing as defined.

  • Apply and record serial numbers to tracked assets

  Test and QC

  • Testing of assemblies using jigs, fixtures, electrical test equipment, and compute devices

  • Document findings and the results of tests

  Culture and Quality

  • Adopt and support the team culture to drive collaboration and morale

  • Treat the tools and equipment with respect, maintaining them as necessary and reporting faults and damage

  • Engage in ongoing and regular activities to maintain the cleanliness and tidiness of the workshop

  Be a High-Speed Collaborator

  • Communicate clearly and effectively with fellow technicians, engineers, and leadership.

  • Adapt quickly to changing priorities—jump in wherever help is needed.

  • Contribute ideas to improve the speed, reliability, and quality of builds.

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrable experience in electromechanical assembly, or low-rate production of complex systems.

• Proven ability to work with electromechanical 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.

What We Offer

• Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.

• Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.

• Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.

• Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

• Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in‑office.

• Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.

• Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
