Full company description
In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge, inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose what they want to do. We can imagine millions of bipedal robots doing more work than all human labour does today freeing people from the servitude of some repetitive and boring tasks that nobody likes to perform. We believe that we have enough abundance to take care of everyone who is displaced. Eventually, providing a universal basic income will lead to the true evolution of our civilization. Labor shortages loom, as the demands on our built environment rise. With the world’s workforce increasingly moving away from undesirable tasks, the manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries critical to our daily lives are left exposed. By deploying our general-purpose humanoid robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human well-being is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

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 are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and develop advanced humanoid robots. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanical design, system integration, and GD&T based on ASME Y14.5, along with experience in optimizing robotic systems for performance and manufacturability.
What You’ll Do
Develop components for humanoid robots (e.g., frames, actuators, joints) using CAD software, applying GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5) to ensure precision and manufacturability.
Design robotic linkages and mechanisms with a focus on efficient motion and performance optimization.
Choose materials and manufacturing methods that balance strength, weight, and cost, ensuring feasibility and reliability.
Lead the prototyping phase, utilizing tools like 3D printing and CNC machining to validate designs.
Work with electrical engineers and software developers to integrate mechanical components into robotic systems.
Ensure designs meet safety standards, conducting risk assessments and applying necessary safety features.
Perform mechanical testing to verify design performance and durability.
Produce detailed technical documentation, including drawings, specifications, and BOMs, adhering to GD&T principles.
Work closely with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals.
We’re Looking For
Strong background in mechanical design, statics, dynamics, and material science.
Skilled in CAD tools (SolidWorks), with the ability to apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to designs.
Familiarity with manufacturing methods like CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding.
Hands-on experience building and testing prototypes.
Understanding of safety standards (e.g., ISO 10218) and risk assessment.
Strong analytical skills to tackle complex engineering challenges.
Clear verbal and written communication for effective teamwork.
What We Offer
Comprehensive extended health benefits starting on your first day, including fully paid medical and dental, virtual care, employee and family assistance, and worldwide emergency medical support.
Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.
Paid end-of-year shutdown: annual company-wide holiday closure spanning Christmas through New Year’s Day.
Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in‑office.
Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
For this role in Vancouver, the expected base salary range is $110,000 – $150,000 CAD per year; your placement in that range depends on how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
