Lead Robotics Engineer; Humanoids

Humanoids, Mechatronics & Industrial Automation | USA

We’re supporting a technology consultancy delivering robotics and automation projects for industrial clients.

They’re looking for a hands‑on Lead Robotics Engineer with a strong background in humanoid robotics and mechatronics to guide development across mechanical, electrical and software systems.

• Lead the development and integration of robotic systems, with a focus on humanoids and complex electromechanical platforms.

• Work across actuators, sensors, embedded systems and control software to deliver reliable robot behaviour.

• Develop and refine motion control, kinematics and whole-body coordination.

• Guide prototyping, hardware bring‑up, testing and troubleshooting on physical robots.

• Work with multidisciplinary teams to move systems from simulation into real-world operation.

• Mentor engineers and act as a technical point of contact for clients.

• Strong hands‑on experience in humanoid robotics, mechatronics or complex articulated robotic systems.

• Experience leading engineering projects while remaining involved in technical delivery.

• Practical understanding of actuation, sensing, dynamics and feedback control.

• Strong C++ and/or Python skills, with experience using ROS or ROS 2.

• Experience integrating hardware and software, diagnosing system‑level issues and validating robot performance.

• Familiarity with simulation tools and transferring control approaches onto physical hardware.

• Comfortable working with clients and travelling to support project delivery.

• Lead technically challenging robotics projects across different client environments.

• Work at the intersection of humanoid development, mechatronics and industrial automation.

• Influence technical decisions and support the growth of a multidisciplinary robotics team.
