Direct message the job poster from Humanoid

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.

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to join our team based in Vancouver, CA.

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 are on a mission to redefine humanoid robotics by creating hands that mimic human dexterity, precision, and flexibility. As a Robotics Hand Technician
, you will play a key role in assembling, testing, and validating cutting‑edge robotic hands and grippers for our humanoid robots. This position requires strong technical expertise in robotic assembly, sensor calibration, and the ability to collaborate closely with engineers to troubleshoot and optimize robotic hand systems. If you’re passionate about hands‑on work with high‑tech robotic systems and contributing to the next generation of humanoid robots, we’d love to hear from you.
