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.

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Field Service Technician to support the deployment, integration, and maintenance of our humanoid robot solutions at customer facilities. As the on-site operations lead, you will coordinate site activities, collect operational data, and supervise a team of Field Operations Associates. This position requires problem-solving skills, sound judgement under pressure, and a customer-centric approach.

  • Act as the on-shift operational leader, ensuring that the appropriate tools, spare parts, and equipment are available.

  • Supervise standard operating procedures (SOPs) for customer sites and document learnings from field issues.

  • Test product releases and robot capabilities.

  • Diagnose hardware and software issues using logs, diagnostics, and field observations, performing maintenance where appropriate.

  • Collect, analyse, and interpret operational data to evaluate robot performance, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvements.

  • Track, document, and reproduce software and hardware issues, providing clear technical feedback to engineering and product teams.

  • Tackle production incidents and technical issues in cooperation with service and engineering teams.

  • Act as the primary on-shift liaison between the deployed location and Humanoid offices.

Requirements

  • 2-5 years of experience in industrial automation, robotics, or automotive integration, deployment, and development.

  • Strong technical understanding of mechanical, electrical, and networking systems, with hands-on experience in troubleshooting, assembly, and maintenance. Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and decision-making skills, particularly in high-pressure operational environments.

  • Strong communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work independently in dynamic customer environments.

  • Business-fluent English.

  • Flexibility to support future assignments at customer sites and occasional visits to company locations in the UK and Europe.

  • Unrestricted right to work and live in the European Union.

What We're Looking For

  • Prior experience in warehouse/logistics automation, industrial robotics, or humanoid robotics deployment.

  • Working knowledge of a relevant local language (e.g. German).

  • Valid Class B (or equivalent) driver's licence.

  • Familiarity with software integration and sensor-based automation.

  • Experience with commissioning, acceptance testing, or software validation.

  • Experience working in complex operational environments.
