Job summary

Humanoid in London is seeking a Senior Autonomy Engineer focused on Spatial Intelligence to bridge classical geometry with modern AI. You will lead the design and development of robust state estimation, long-term mapping, and localisation loops, with a focus on integrating large ML models into the core navigation stack for ultra-low latency performance on edge hardware.

Your work will enable rock-solid spatial awareness and reliable trajectories across extended deployments in real-world

Qualifications

• Exceptional software engineering skills with a proven track record of shipping ML systems.
• Strong background in 3D scene understanding and efficient spatial data structures.
• Deep experience in machine learning for vision or embodied AI, ideally with large models (VLMs, transformers, or multi-modal architectures).
• Proficiency in PyTorch and hands-on experience building, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale ML systems.
• High-impact individual contributor capable of taking projects from conceptual research to high-performance robot code.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, research-driven environment with evolving models, data, and tools.

Responsibilities

• Architect the spatial intelligence layer unifying 3D geometry with semantic scene understanding for safe navigation.
• Develop 3D spatial reasoning for long-term persistent spatial memory and contextual awareness.
• Train large-scale multimodal networks and deploy for ultra-low latency on edge hardware.
• Implement 3D representations that track and interpret environment state.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bridge model training and robot integration.
• Evaluate new model architectures, benchmarks, and datasets to guide the AI roadmap.
