Lead Robotics Software Engineer

Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the worlds 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. Our MissionAt Humanoid we strive to create the worlds leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life and amplify human capacity.

VisionIn 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.

SolutionAs the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the worlds 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.

About the RoleWere looking for a hands-on Application Lead to turn our robotics stack into a working product. This isnt a coordination-only role. Youll write code, integrate subsystems, debug real robots, and build the software layer that brings everything together for the end user.

Youll lead a small team focused on application-level logic. This is where everything meets: controls, navigation, perception, learning, and platform. Your goal is to ship a cohesive, usable system that runs reliably in the real world.

Youll work closely with engineers across the company, make practical decisions, build prototypes, and iterate fast. We want someone whos not afraid to plug in, test in hardware, and own the product experience from the software side. What
