Create job alert

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-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.


Our Mission

At Humanoid we strive to create the world’s leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life and amplify human capacity.


What You'll Do:


  • Train policies via representation learning, behaviour cloning and RL; own the full loop from data to deployment.
  • Partner with teleoperations to drive data collection: specify what “good” looks like, ensure diversity/coverage, and close the gap between sim and real.
  • Run pre-/mid-/post-training on multimodal LLM/VLM/VLA stacks; plug in new modalities (vision, audio, proprioception, LiDAR/point clouds, …) without breaking existing ones.
  • Build and maintain continuous pipelines: ingest simulation + tele‑op logs, version them, apply weak‑supervision labelling, curate balanced datasets, and auto‑surface fresh failure cases into retraining.
  • Work with MLOps & Data Platform teams to scale distributed training and optimize models for real‑time edge inference.


We’re Looking For:


  • 3+ years building deep‑learning systems (industry or research) with shipped models or published artifacts to show for it.
  • Hands‑on with at least one of: LLMs, VLMs, or image/video generative models — architecture, training, and inference.
  • Experience with deep learning infrastructure: streaming datasets, checkpointing & state management, distributed training strategies.
  • Strong Python + PyTorch/JAX; you can profile, debug numerics, and write maintainable research code.
  • You document experiments clearly and communicate trade‑offs crisply.


Nice-to-Have:


  • Robotics or autonomous driving experience.
  • RL for LLMs or robotics (PPO, DPO, SAC, etc.).
  • Proven productization of deep nets (latency/throughput constraints, telemetry, on‑device optimization).
  • Publications at ICLR/ICML/NeurIPS or equivalent open‑source contributions.
  • Familiarity with OpenVLA, Physical Intelligence (π) models, or similar open VLA frameworks.


What We Offer:


  • Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan
  • UK Private Insurance
  • Paid vacation with adjustments based on your location to comply with local labor laws
  • Travel opportunities to our Vancouver and Boston offices
  • Office perks: free breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and regular team events
  • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives
  • Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics
  • Startup culture prioritising speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
