Senior Electrical Design 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‑generation labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer on the Core Platform team, you’ll design and develop the electrical systems that bring advanced humanoid robots to life. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll work across the full spectrum of robotics electrical engineering—from electrical system designs and electromechanical integrations to PCB layouts, firmware and device programming, and hands‑on debugging in the lab. Your work will span from small test systems to fully integrated prototype robots, giving you a unique opportunity to make a big impact.

• Design Electrical Systems for Robotics:
  Develop electrical systems that power and control Humanoid’s advanced robots, with a focus on sensors, compute architecture, and power systems.
• Conduct Circuit Analysis and Debugging:
  Use strong circuit analysis fundamentals to review electrical designs, conduct failure analysis, and troubleshoot complex electrical systems.
• PCB Design and Schematic Capture:
  Create detailed schematics and PCB layouts using Altium, ensuring the designs meet the performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards required for robotics.
• Develop Embedded Firmware:
  Write firmware in C and HDL to program microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs, testing and refining embedded designs to ensure optimal performance.
• Leverage Linux for Robotics:
  Utilize your knowledge of command‑line Linux to configure networks, run software, and interface with robots for testing and validation.
• Hands‑On Lab Work:
  Use a variety of lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers, to validate designs and solve complex electrical engineering challenges.
