Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Core Platform

Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Core Platform

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.

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.

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.

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.

We’re looking for Embedded Software Engineer on the Core Platform team located in Boston
. In this role, you will be at the heart of developing the core real‑time OS, data networks and protocols, and fundamental software subsystems for our next‑generation humanoid robots. You will help develop the foundational software architectures that allow high‑fidelity robotic controls development. You will be responsible for writing high‑integrity software that runs on our robots, creating a safety‑critical software stack, and integrating sensors and computing platforms to enable safe human‑robot collaboration.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to take full ownership of new systems and directly contribute to the development of our future products. If you are passionate about robotics, thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment, and want to make a real impact on the future of human‑robot interaction, we want you on our team!
