Warehouse Operative Specialist

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.

As a Warehouse Operative Specialist, you will take hands-on ownership of day-to-day warehouse and inventory operations at our Vancouver site.

You will be responsible for receiving, storage, inventory accuracy, cycle counting, material movement, and kitting, ensuring components are available and ready to support fast-moving prototype robot builds.

As a key warehouse specialist in Vancouver, you will have the opportunity to establish and continuously improve site warehouse processes, working closely with Supply Chain, Procurement, Engineering, Production, and our global Warehouse, Inventory, Logistics & Planning (WILP) team.

This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, organized, self-directed, and comfortable taking ownership in a fast-paced hardware environment.
