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.
We're looking for a Hardware Integration and Development Engineer to bring up, integrate and validate the electronics behind the end effectors on our robots and the human-worn devices operators use to interface with them. You'll focus on getting hardware working reliably end-to-end — integrating sensors, compute platforms and PCBAs, debugging issues at the boundary of electrical, mechanical and firmware, and supporting test and validation — in a high-paced environment where priorities shift fast.
Bring Up New Hardware: Bring up new PCB/PCBA revisions — reviewing schematics, checking power rails, and debugging with an oscilloscope and logic analyzer.
Integrate Sensors & Platforms: Integrate sensors, encoders, cameras and IMUs with compute platforms such as ESP32, Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson into working hardware assemblies.
Validate Communication Interfaces: Verify and debug communication interfaces between subsystems, including I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet, USB, CAN, EtherCAT and MIPI.
Own Calibration & Diagnostics: Develop and run calibration routines, diagnostic tooling and fault/status checks across integrated hardware.
Support Component Selection: Help evaluate and select sensors, MCUs and other hardware building blocks alongside electrical and mechanical engineers.
Cross-Discipline Debugging: Resolve integration issues that span firmware, electrical and mechanical, working closely with all three teams.
Support Test & Validation: Support hardware test rigs, trials and validation activities, providing hands-on troubleshooting.
Document Interfaces: Document hardware interfaces, bring-up procedures and known issues clearly for other engineers to build against.
Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field, with 4+ years' experience in hardware integration, bring-up or embedded systems roles.
FPGA experience is required.
Hands-on experience integrating and debugging sensors, encoders, cameras and compute platforms such as ESP32, Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson.
Solid understanding of communication and sensor interfaces: I2C, SPI, MIPI, UART, Ethernet, USB, CAN and EtherCAT.
Strong hardware debugging skills — oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG/SWD — and comfort bringing up new PCB/PCBA revisions.
Experience developing calibration routines and supporting hardware test/validation activities.
Comfortable working across firmware, electrical and mechanical boundaries in a high-paced environment.
Basic embedded firmware or scripting experience for tooling and diagnostics
Experience working with formally defined hardware interfaces/contracts shared across teams
Experience in a robotics or hardware startup environment
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 - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.
Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
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 can imagine millions of bipedal robots doing more work than all human labour does today freeing people from the servitude of some repetitive and boring tasks that nobody likes to perform.
We believe that we have enough abundance to take care of everyone who is displaced. Eventually, providing a universal basic income will lead to the true evolution of our civilization.
Labor shortages loom, as the demands on our built environment rise. 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.
