About the role

  • This is a hands-on, highly visible role in a small, fast-moving office of around 30 engineers working on cutting-edge humanoid robotics.
  • This is a great opportunity for someone with a hands-on technical background who wants to grow inside a robotics company at an early and exciting stage.

Responsibilities

  • Own lab organization - maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized lab environment. Keep workbenches, storage, and shared spaces in order so the team can work efficiently.
  • Own the procurement process for day-to-day lab needs, working with vendors and internal stakeholders to keep things moving.
  • Kit parts for engineering builds and repairs.
  • Support hardware and equipment - assist engineers with equipment setup, basic maintenance, and calibration of lab tools including oscilloscopes, power supplies, soldering stations, and test fixtures.
  • Facilitate general lab operations - coordinate deliveries, manage lab access, support onboarding of new team members to lab tools and processes, and help enforce lab safety policies.
  • Support the team day-to-day - pitch in where needed across a small, busy engineering team. This might mean helping set up a demo, organizing a shipment, or sourcing a hard-to-find component quickly.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-moving environment
  • Own lab organization - maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized lab environment.
  • That's why we've set out on a mission to build the world's most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience in an electronics, engineering, or hardware lab environment - through work or school.
  • Demonstrated experience managing physical inventory: receiving, tracking, reorder thresholds, vendor coordination in a lab, warehouse, makerspace, or production environment.
  • Familiarity with component and inventory management tools or systems
  • Comfort handling and organizing electronic components, PCBAs, cables, and lab equipment
  • Expertise with ESD handling protocols for sensitive electronic components and assemblies.

Nice to have

  • Experience with basic soldering, rework, or electronics assembly
  • Exposure to robotics, electromechanical systems, or a hardware startup environment
  • Comfort using tools like Notion, Jira, or similar for tracking and documentation.
  • Experience with PLM tools, such as TeamCenter or Arena.

Company info

  • Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential.
  • 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.
