Job description

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.

About the Role

We are looking for a Mechatronics Remote Support Engineer to be the troubleshooting core of our Remote Services team — the people who keep our humanoid robots running in the field. When a robot has a problem, you diagnose it remotely, resolve what can be resolved without a site visit, and — when hands are needed on the robot — produce a precise physical-intervention recommendation for the field or Repair Centre teams to execute. This is a hands-on, customer-facing technical role. You will work remote-first, diagnosing as deep into the robot as the tools allow, and you will occasionally travel as a “flying doctor” when local resources cannot resolve an issue themselves. What You’ll Do:

  • Diagnose robot faults remotely using telemetry and our Digital Shadow diagnostics (remote diagnostics, 3D BOM explosion, and fleet-pattern detection).
  • Resolve issues remotely wherever possible, driving each case to the deepest root cause you can before escalating.
  • Produce complete physical-intervention recommendations — what to do, why, how, the skill level, spare parts, expected time, and any special tooling.
  • Occasionally, act as a flying doctor on-site when local resources cannot fix the issue themselves.
  • Prioritise cases against SLAs and keep customers informed with clear, transparent updates.
  • Document diagnoses and resolutions so the team’s collective knowledge grows while the digital tools mature.
  • Escalate through the single point of entry to Engineering when a case genuinely needs R&D.

We’re Looking For:

  • Hands-on knowledge of robot hardware: 2D/3D LiDAR, RGB cameras, motors, and actuators.
  • Software troubleshooting on robots: ROS2, Bash, Ubuntu/Linux, and bootloader/firmware.
  • Strong remote-diagnosis instincts — you localise faults precisely before recommending any physical work.
  • Clear technical communication with customers and field teams, especially under SLA pressure.
  • A methodical, case-to-the-end mindset with disciplined documentation.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for on-site interventions.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors and IMUs.
  • Python and Git for building small diagnostic utilities.
  • Prior customer-facing field-service or technical-support experience.
  • Familiarity with SLA-driven support operations and lean, one-piece-flow ways of working.

What We Offer

  • Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
  • 30+ days off, including 23 days 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.

Why work at Humanoid

  • High-growth environment: Company grew headcount by 139% in a single year, indicating rapid scaling and opportunity for career advancement. 65+ open roles suggest strong hiring momentum.
  • Talent from top robotics firms: Team includes alumni from Boston Dynamics, Sanctuary AI, Dyson, Ocado Technology, Arrival, Wayve, and others — offering a deep learning and collaboration environment.
  • Technical focus: Engineering and technical roles represent 38% of the workforce, with senior-level hires at 23% of the team. The company emphasizes hardware, AI, machine learning, and control systems.
  • Mission-driven: Clear purpose to automate undesirable, unsafe, and repetitive work — appealing to candidates who want to make a tangible societal impact.
  • Global presence: Offices in London (HQ), Cambridge (USA), and Burnaby (Canada), plus operations in 16 countries — offering potential for international mobility and remote collaboration.
  • Innovation culture: Described as a place where engineers and researchers “move from demo to deployment” and “not just in the lab.” The CTO emphasizes building systems that perform in the real world from day one.
  • Office/Hybrid policy: Not explicitly stated, but the company has physical offices in three countries and a distributed team across 16 nations — likely supports hybrid/remote with in-office collaboration for engineering roles.
