Mechanical Design Engineer - Robotic Hand

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.

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.

• 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.

• Strong background in mechanical design, statics, dynamics, and material science.
• Skilled in CAD tools (Solid Works), 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 10218) and risk assessment.
• Strong analytical skills to tackle complex engineering challenges.
• Clear verbal and written communication for effective teamwork.

• 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.
• Paid end-of-year shutdown: annual company‑wide holiday closure spanning Christmas through New Year’s Day.
• Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
• 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.

For this role in Vancouver, the expected base salary range is $110,000 – $150,000 CAD per year; your placement in that range depends on how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
