    Description

    Mechanical Design Engineer – Robotic Hand


    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.

    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.

    Solution


    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.

    About the Role


    We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and develop advanced humanoid robots. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanical design, system integration, and GD&T based on ASME Y14.5, along with experience in optimizing robotic systems for performance and manufacturability.

    What You'll Do

    • Develop components for humanoid robots (e.g., frames, actuators, joints) using CAD software, applying GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5) to ensure precision and manufacturability.
    • Design robotic linkages and mechanisms with a focus on efficient motion and performance optimization.
    • Choose materials and manufacturing methods that balance strength, weight, and cost, ensuring feasibility and reliability.
    • Lead the prototyping phase, utilizing tools like 3D printing and CNC machining to validate designs.
    • Work with electrical engineers and software developers to integrate mechanical components into robotic systems.
    • Ensure designs meet safety standards, conducting risk assessments and applying necessary safety features.
    • Perform mechanical testing to verify design performance and durability.
    • Produce detailed technical documentation, including drawings, specifications, and BOMs, adhering to GD&T principles.
    • Work closely with cross‑functional teams to achieve project goals.

    We're Looking For

    • Strong background in mechanical design, statics, dynamics, and material science.
    • Skilled in CAD tools (SolidWorks), with the ability to apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to designs.
    • Familiarity with manufacturing methods like CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding.
    • Hands‑on experience building and testing prototypes.
    • Understanding of safety standards (e.g., ISO and risk assessment.
    • Strong analytical skills to tackle complex engineering challenges.
    • Clear verbal and written communication for effective teamwork.

    What We Offer

    • Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan.
    • Paid vacation with adjustments based on your location to comply with local labour laws.
    • Private Health Insurance.
    • Travel opportunities to our London and Boston offices.
    • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
    • Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
    • Startup culture prioritising speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy.
