Full Stack Automation Engineer

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.

Our Mission
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.

Vision
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.

Solution
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.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement a centralized web-based platform for controlling robots, managing lab operations, monitoring system health, and visualizing KPIs using modern front-end frameworks like React.
• Develop robust backend services to support the platform, including APIs for communication, data management, and integrations with robotic systems.
• Build lightweight software services that run on the robots, enabling remote control, data collection, diagnostics, and state management.
• Integrate Human Interface Devices (HID) such as game controllers or joysticks to provide intuitive, low-latency remote control over robot movements and actions.
• Streamline and automate workflows, including software deployment, performance monitoring, and diagnostics, to enhance reliability and efficiency.
• Implement testing pipelines to validate the functionality of the UI, backend, robot-side services, and HID-driven control flows.
• Ensure smooth communication and functionality between the platform, backend services, robot-side services, hardware systems, and HID controllers.
• Maintain clear and detailed documentation of tools, processes, and best practices to support team knowledge and future development.

Expertise

• Proficiency in Python and at least one low-level language (e.g., C++, C, Bash) for developing robot-side services.
• Strong experience with React (or similar frameworks) for creating user-friendly and scalable web applications.
• Expertise in API development, data handling, and creating scalable service architectures.
• Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and workflow automation.
• Understanding of network protocols and secure data exchange between services.
• Familiarity with frameworks like ROS is a plus.
• Experience integrating HID devices (e.g., game controllers, joysticks, motion controllers) into robotics or hardware control pipelines.
• Excellent skills in diagnosing and resolving technical challenges across integrated systems.
• Experience with real-time system monitoring and diagnostics.
• Knowledge of distributed systems and scalable application design.
• Familiarity with designing platforms for managing interconnected devices or hardware.
• Aware of latency considerations and best practices when implementing HID-based control over networked systems.

Benefits

• High competitive salary.
• 23 calendar days of vacation per year.
• Flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI/ML, Robotics and others.
• Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.
