Job description

Engineered Arts is the leading manufacturer of full-size humanoid robots used for entertainment, education and communication. With 20 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Meta and many more.

Our Ameca robot is well known as ‘the face of AI’ and a social media viral success, taking advantage of the generative AI craze. Along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures our robots continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research. Our robots are poised to break into the future mega-expansion service robot segment, with applications such as front of house, receptions, check-in desks, information points and PoS. We are also exploring how our humanoid robot technology can disrupt other robotics sectors such as the growing cobot sub-segment of the industrial robotics market.

Further to our hardware range we also offer our robots as a virtual offering. This virtual robot acts in exactly the same way as the real life robots. This allows our customers to use a mix of real and virtual characters and allows 3rd party developers to create new and exciting applications on top of our robot platform, opening it up to new use cases and market segments.

We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. Our internal motto is ‘Be Wow’, everything we do is fun, entertaining or surprising to encounter. We always push the boundaries of what is possible in humanoid robotics, researching and developing new systems and techniques to further their appeal. We explore and challenge the human perception of robots as well as the fear and discomfort and the excitement and joy life-like mechanical humanoids present.

Role Outline

Can you perform the surgery needed to keep leading edge humanoid robots alive? Engineered Arts are looking for an assembly and maintenance technician to work on novel humanoid robot designs, with a focus on lab testing for locomotion and manipulation.

Working with the design and controls team as they iterate rapidly through design updates your mission is to keep prototype robots functional and up to date.

This is a hands on role requiring careful assembly and knowledge of electro mechanical systems, taking designs from a kit of parts to completion.

Complex and intricate designs require a steady careful hand and an eye for detail.

With a state of the art facility Engineered Arts produce most parts in house, utilising 3,5 and 7 axis machine tools, large scale SLA printing and laser welding.
