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.

Our 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.

About the Role

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at Humanoid, you will own the design and development of key mechanical subsystems, including robotic joints, actuators, structural assemblies, and dynamic mechanisms that enable humanoid mobility and manipulation.

This role requires strong fundamentals in mechanical design, system integration, and GD&T; (ASME Y14.5), as well as a passion for building complex hardware systems.

You will collaborate closely with robotics, controls, electrical, and software teams to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy robotic hardware.

Your work will directly influence the performance, reliability, and scalability of our humanoid robots.

What You'll Do

- Design and develop mechanical systems for humanoid robots, including structural components, joints, actuators, and robotic linkages
- Create 3D CAD models and production drawings using Solid Works / NX, applying GD&T; (ASME Y14.5) to ensure precision and manufacturability
- Design robotic mechanisms and linkages optimized for strength, weight, efficiency, and durability




- Select materials and manufacturing methods that balance performance, weight, cost, and scalability
- Lead rapid prototyping and iteration, using tools such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and rapid fabrication
- Work closely with electrical, controls, and software engineers to integrate motors, sensors, and embedded systems into robotic platforms
- Conduct mechanical testing and validation to verify performance, durability, and system reliability
- Perform design reviews, risk assessments, and safety analysis to ensure robust robotic systems
- Generate and maintain technical documentation, including engineering drawings, specifications, and bill of materials (BOM)
- Own mechanical subsystems from concept through prototyping, testing, and deployment

We're Looking For

- 5+ years of skilled experience in mechanical design for robotics, electromechanical systems, or complex hardware products.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field
- Strong fundamentals in mechanics, statics, dynamics, and material science
- Proficiency with Solid Works or similar CAD tools
- Experience applying GD&T; based on ASME Y14.5




- Experience designing precision mechanical assemblies or mechanisms
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and injection molding
- Hands-on experience building, assembling, and testing mechanical prototypes
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering environment

Nice to Have:

- Experience developing robotic or mechatronic systems
- Experience designing robotic actuators, gear trains, or transmission systems
- Experience working on humanoid, legged, or mobile robots
- Experience performing FEA or structural simulations
- Experience designing lightweight structural systems
- Familiarity with robotic safety standards such as ISO 10218
- Experience in robotics, aerospace, automotive, or advanced hardware startups

What We Offer

- Comprehensive extended health benefits starting on your first day, including fully paid medical and dental, virtual care, employee and family assistance, and worldwide emergency medical support.
- Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.
- Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.
- Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in‑office.
- Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
- Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
