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 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we're growing the team to take it even further. About the Role As a Senior Platform Software Engineer at Humanoid, you will be at the heart of developing the core OS, data networks and protocols, and fundamental software subsystems for our next-generation humanoid robots. You will help develop the foundational software architectures that allow high fidelity robotic controls and AI development. You will be responsible for writing high-integrity software that runs on our robots, integrating sensors, safety systems, and computing platforms to enable safe human-robot collaboration. In this role, you will have the opportunity to take full ownership of new systems and directly contribute to the development of our future products. If you are interested in complex embedded software projects, thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, and want to make a real impact on the future of human-robot interaction, we want you on our team! What You'll Do Design & Create Embedded Software: Develop and validate embedded software that ensures our robots can operate at scale in the real world. Hardware & Software Integration: Work at the intersection of hardware and software to integrate various robotic components (e.g., sensors, actuators, computing platforms) into a cohesive, fault-tolerant system. Lead Cross-Functional Projects: Lead interdisciplinary projects that involve robotic perception, computing subsystems, and software integration, collaborating with engineers across multiple domains. Test & Evaluate Systems: Integrate new systems with our robots to test, validate, and ensure that they meet safety requirements and perform reliably in real-world conditions. Build Infrastructure for Innovation: Contribute to the development of tools, infrastructure, and operational practices within a small, agile R&D team focused on unlocking new capabilities for Humanoid robots. Drive Safety in Robotics: Be part of a team working at the cutting edge of technology to improve the safety and performance of robots operating in real-world, human-centric environments. Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with electrical engineers, software developers, robotics control experts, physical AI developers, and other team members to integrate software systems with robotics hardware, ensuring seamless operation and performance. What We're Looking For 5+ years of experience developing and deploying production software in embedded systems running Linux (C++, C, Rust, Python, Go). Experience developing time-sensitive, performance critical applications. Thorough understanding of Ethernet and IP networking and higher-level protocols like HTTP or gRPC. Experience with Linux build environments like Yocto or Buildroot. Experience in building Linux kernels and modifying or writing device drivers. Experience with Nvidia's Jetson platform is a plus. Experience working with sensor data, including cameras, lidars, radars, and IMUs is a plus. Strong communication skills, with the ability to write clear technical documentation and deliver presentations on complex topics. Proven history of leading cross-functional technical projects, including developing technical requirements and driving collaboration across teams. Experience working in small, agile teams with fast iteration cycles and interdisciplinary collaboration. What We Offer Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid bank holidays and company holidays. Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support. Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings. Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in office. Collaboration with top tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics. Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.

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 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we're growing the team to take it even further. About The Role We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help transform our advanced robotics stack into a dependable product ready for the real world. This is a deeply technical and hands on role. You will write production code, integrate subsystems, and work directly with robots in both simulation and real hardware environments. You will be part of a focused team responsible for the application level software that connects control, navigation, perception, learning, and platform systems. Your work will ensure that these components operate as a coherent and reliable system that users can interact with seamlessly. This role involves close collaboration with engineers across multiple domains. You will contribute to architectural decisions, build prototypes, and iterate quickly. It is well suited to someone who enjoys working close to hardware and solving practical, cross disciplinary challenges. What You'll Do You will develop and maintain application level software for humanoid robots. You will integrate software components from controls, navigation, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and platform teams. You will contribute to the structure and evolution of the application architecture and its interfaces. You will work closely with the product and engineering teams to define priorities and deliver robust features. You will debug complex robotic systems in both simulated and physical environments. You will support on site validation efforts when needed and contribute to field testing. What We're Looking For You have at least five years of experience in robotics or a closely related field. You are highly proficient in C++ and have experience delivering production grade software. You have a solid understanding of robotic subsystems including control, perception, navigation, and learning. You are familiar with ROS or ROS2 or equivalent middleware platforms. You are comfortable reading, understanding, and integrating code from a range of other engineering teams. You have experience debugging systems on hardware and enjoy hands on problem solving. You are a strong communicator and collaborative team member, able to work effectively across disciplines. What We Offer Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays. Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support. Equity included-we believe builders should share in what they build. Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings. Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in office. Collaboration with top tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics. Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
