Robot Operations Engineer - Engineered Arts

About Engineered Arts

Engineered Arts is the leading manufacturer of full-size humanoid robots used for entertainment, education and communication. With 20 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Meta and many more.

Our Ameca robot is well known as 'the face of AI' and a social media viral success, taking advantage of the generative AI craze. Along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures, our robots continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows, as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research.

Our robots are poised to break into the future mega-expansion service robot segment, with applications such as front of house, receptions, check-in desks, information points and PoS.

We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. Our internal motto is 'Be Wow' - everything we do is fun, entertaining or surprising to encounter.

You’re a hands-on technical generalist who gets just as excited diagnosing a fault deep inside a robot chassis as you do ensuring a customer delivers a flawless demo at a trade show in Dubai. You’ve worked in customer-facing technical roles - field service, technical support, AV, or something close - and you know that diagnosing the root cause of an issue matters far more than patching the symptom.

You communicate clearly under pressure, take ownership instinctively, and genuinely take pride in making complex technology look effortless in front of an audience.

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be on planes, inside robot chassis, on-site at customer premises, and standing in a trade show booth - sometimes all in the same week. You’re energised by variety, comfortable with ambiguity, and the kind of person who finds a way through technical problems without needing someone to hand you a script.

Our robots are a wow experience. You’ll be the person who makes sure that wow happens every single time.
