Job description

Job Description

Senior System Engineer Electrical

Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.

We are looking for a Senior System Engineer to join our team based in London, UK.

Our Mission

At Humanoid, we strive to create the world’s leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life and amplify human capacity.

Vision

In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge, inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose what they want to do. We believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true evolution of our civilization.

As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the world’s workforce increasingly moving away from undesirable tasks, the manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries critical to our daily lives are left exposed. By deploying our general-purpose humanoid robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human well-being is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

Responsibilities

1. Obtain inputs from System Leaders and SMEs to translate stakeholders' needs into verifiable requirements.
2. Develop and document technical-level requirements for robotic systems, focusing on the electrical engineering domain.
3. Influence the development of engineering artifacts, their technical direction, and ultimately stakeholder satisfaction.
4. Identify and analyze interfaces and interactions across systems/components boundaries.
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, software, and controls) to ensure system requirements are cohesive and achievable.
6. Provide expertise and guidance to ensure our engineers understand the problem completely and stakeholder needs through effective coaching on Systems Engineering practices (early and later lifecycle stages).
7. Ensure the appropriate level of concepting, modeling, and simulation techniques are used across the lifecycle to inform architectures and solution options.
8. Track the status of requirements throughout the product development lifecycle.
9. Assess the impact of changes to system and technical requirements on project scope and schedule to provide input for System or Program Lead.
10. Coordinate the integration of electrical subsystems with mechanical and software components.
11. Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues in collaboration with the development team.
12. Maintain detailed documentation, including system architectures, requirement traceability matrices, and test reports.
13. Ensure that designs comply with relevant standards and certifications.
14. Participate in design reviews, brainstorming sessions, and strategic planning for new projects.

Expertise

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering with a focus on electrical systems, preferably in robotics, automation, or similar industries.
• Expertise in system engineering methodologies, including requirements management and validation.
• Strong knowledge of electrical engineering principles, including power electronics, circuit design, and embedded systems.
• Experience with communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C) and power management systems.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas to diverse stakeholders.
• Proven leadership skills with the ability to drive projects and mentor team members.

• Experience in robotics or automation industries.
• Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508, SOTIF, ASPICE, MISRA, ISO 21434) and certification processes.
• Knowledge of AI, machine learning, or advanced sensor technologies is a plus.

Benefits

• High competitive salary.
• 23 working days of vacation per year.
• Flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI, Robotics, Blockchain, and others.
• Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.
