Prototype Engineer

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 on a mission to redefine robotics by creating humanoids that mimic human dexterity, precision, and flexibility.

As a Robotics Prototype Engineer, you will play a key role in assembling, testing, and validating cutting‑edge 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 humanoid 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.
