## About Humanoid

Nos médias sont propulsés par une ambition : être leaders dans leur catégorie. Pour cela, nous donnons à nos rédactions toutes les armes pour faire du journalisme en ligne plébiscité, accessible gratuitement pour nos lectrices et nos lecteurs.

## About the role

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're hiring a Senior/Staff Autonomy Engineer focused on Spatial Intelligence to join our team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between classical spatial geometry and next-generation AI. You will lead the design and development of robust state estimation, long-term mapping, and localisation loops, with a specific focus on integrating modern machine learning techniques and foundation geometry models into our core navigation stack. Your work will ensure our robots possess rock-solid spatial awareness and execute highly reliable trajectories over extended deployments in complex, real-world environments.

### What You'll Do

- Architect the spatial intelligence layer that unifies 3D geometry with semantic scene understanding to ensure safe and efficient navigation and locomotion in complex environments

- Develop advanced 3D spatial reasoning capabilities that provide our robots with long-term persistent spatial memory and a deep contextual awareness of their surroundings.

- Own the entire perception lifecycle by training large-scale multimodal networks and deploying and integrating them for ultra-low latency performance on edge hardware

- Bridge the gap between conceptual research and physical reality by implementing state-of-the-art 3D representations that track and interpret the environment state

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bridge the gap between large-scale model training and reliable robot integration.

- Stay ahead of the field, rapidly evaluate new model architectures, benchmarks, and datasets to guide our embodied AI roadmap.

### What We're Looking For

- Exceptional software engineering skills with a proven track record of shipping complex ML systems into production.

- Strong background in 3D scene understanding and the design of efficient spatial data structures.

- Deep experience in machine learning for vision or embodied AI, ideally with large models (VLMs, transformers, or multi-modal architectures).

- Proficiency in PyTorch and hands-on experience building, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale ML systems.

- High-impact individual contributor capable of taking projects from conceptual research to high-performance robot code.

- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, research-driven environment with evolving models, data, and tools.

### What We Offer

- Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.

- 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of 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.
