Engineering Platforms Manager

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.

Vision

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.

Solution

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.

As Digital Engineering Tools & Platform Manager
, you will own and evolve Humanoid’s engineering tooling ecosystem across mechanical, electrical, simulation, and robotics disciplines.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on defining standards, enabling engineering velocity, and ensuring reliable data flow from CAD through simulation, robotics, and manufacturing. You will act as the Siemens NX (NXX) subject-matter authority
, defining modelling best practices, methodologies, and automation patterns, while partnering closely with engineering leadership to scale effective ways of working.

• Mechanical, Electrical, Robotics, Simulation, and Controls Engineering teams
• The PLM Architect, who owns Teamcenter X configuration, data schema, and lifecycle governance
• IT and Platform teams, to ensure secure, performant, and scalable tooling environments
• The IT Director, to align engineering tooling strategy with company growth
• Own the installation, configuration, and optimisation of Siemens NX (NXX) and Altium Designer for mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
• Define and maintain NX modelling methodologies
  , templates, drafting standards, and reuse libraries.
• Act as the NX best-practice authority and escalation point for modelling, assemblies, WAVE linking, para metrics, and performance.
• Ensure tooling configuration supports consistent, scalable engineering practices rather than ad-hoc usage.
• Support and guide engineers in generating and maintaining URDF-compatible robot models from NX.
• Define workflows for geometry simplification, joint configuration, mesh preparation, and coordinate-system discipline.
• Maintain and improve integration pipelines for Isaac Sim / Omniverse
  , including USD conversion, asset libraries, and validation practices.
• Ensure consistency of kinematics, mass properties, and interfaces between CAD, simulation, and deployed robotic systems.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts and tooling using NXOpen, Python, or equivalent to remove repetitive manual work.
• Streamline engineering data flows from design through simulation and manufacturing.
• Proactively identify friction points in the engineering toolchain and implement pragmatic improvements.
• Enable engineers to move faster without sacrificing data quality or downstream reliability.
• MCAD / ECAD Data & Release Enablement
• Define standards for MCAD–ECAD alignment
  , including housings, PCBs, connectors, harnessing, and subsystem integration.
• Maintain governance over standard component libraries for both NX and Altium, in partnership with engineering leads.
• Support design reviews, BOM validation, configuration control, and release-to-build…
