Full job description

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.

What You’ll Do

Define and lead Humanoid’s end-to-end manufacturing strategy from low-volume prototyping to scalable global production.
Build and manage a high-performance manufacturing team, including production, quality, and operations personnel.
Lead the planning and execution of our first manufacturing facility, including site selection, layout design, and equipment procurement.
Develop capacity plans aligned with business objectives, NPI timelines, and long-term demand forecasts.
Establish world-class manufacturing processes and systems focused on automation, lean production, and precision assembly.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives targeting efficiency, quality, cost, and throughput.
Implement manufacturing KPIs and process control systems to track performance and maintain operational excellence.
Collaborate closely with R&D, hardware engineering, and product design teams to ensure manufacturability (DFM) and smooth NPI transitions.
Work with supply chain, procurement, and finance to ensure alignment across sourcing, cost control, and production readiness.
Act as a strategic voice in product development, providing input on design tradeoffs and factory feasibility.
Establish and oversee rigorous quality systems and regulatory compliance protocols across all manufacturing activities.
Lead root cause analysis and corrective action processes to resolve production issues swiftly and sustainably.
Ensure manufacturing meets relevant safety and certification standards (e.g., ISO, CE, UL).

We’re Looking For

10+ years of experience in manufacturing leadership roles within hardware-intensive industries such as robotics, automotive, aerospace, or advanced machinery.
Proven success in scaling production from prototype to high-volume manufacturing.
Deep knowledge of modern manufacturing methodologies, including lean, Six Sigma, and Industry 4.0 technologies.
Technical fluency across mechanical, electrical, and software-integrated systems.
Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and collaborate across product, engineering, and operations.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience in capacity planning, cost analysis, and factory operations.

Bonus Points

Experience setting up greenfield manufacturing facilities or scaling startup operations.
Familiarity with ERP/MES systems and digital manufacturing platforms.
Background in DFM, DFA, and automation of complex electro-mechanical assemblies.
Passion for robotics, AI, and building the future of human-machine collaboration.

What We Offer

Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
30+ days off, including 23 days annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).
Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.
Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
