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 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About the Role
You’ll design user experiences across integrated hardware and software, considering how people interact with a product across multiple touchpoints. The role spans B2B and B2C products, including complex, data-heavy systems where the product is a specialised tool not just a set of screens.
You’ll turn complex data and workflows into intuitive visuals, help establish clear design system guidelines, and work with external agencies and internal teams to apply them. You’ll also partner closely with engineers to understand technical constraints and feasibility, helping define and solve problems with business impact and operational efficiency in mind.
The work may extend beyond established systems such as traditional AMRs and autonomous robotics. You’ll be expected to learn the underlying technical details and bring a thoughtful design approach to new challenges.
What You'll Do
- Design high-quality user experiences across integrated hardware and software, considering interactions across multiple touchpoints.
- Work across B2B and B2C environments, designing for complex products and specialised tools.
- Translate data-heavy experiences into clear, intuitive visuals.
- Establish clear design system guidelines and communicate them effectively to external agencies.
- Lead collaborative workflows with external partners and internal teams.
- Work closely with engineers to understand technical constraints and assess feasibility.
- Proactively define and solve problems, balancing business impact with operational efficiency.
- Learn the technical details behind complex solutions, including systems beyond traditional AMR and autonomous robotics.
What We're Looking For
- A proven track record in UX/UI design across B2B and B2C products.
- Experience designing hardware-integrated products or data-heavy systems.
- A deep structural understanding of design systems, with hands-on experience organising and communicating them to external teams or agencies.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to distinguish business impact from aesthetics and avoid design fixation.
- High-level UI visual execution, UX research skills, and the ability to clearly explain design rationale.
- Strong communication skills for working across disciplines, especially with engineers.
- Curiosity about software architecture and the drive to understand technical systems in depth.
- 7+ years of experience, ideally across both startups and established companies.
Preferred Qualification
- Robotics, AMR, or integrated hardware and software solutions.
- Complex B2B SaaS or applications designed for professional use.
- Co-building design systems with engineers or handing design systems off to engineering teams.
What We Offer
- 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.
