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

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 believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true evolution of our civilization.


As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. 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.


We are seeking a strongPerception Engineer.

The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in machine learning, computer vision, and sensor technologies, with a strong background in object detection, semantic segmentation, and sensor fusion. This person will work closely with the Navigation, Reasoning, and Locomotion leads to ensure the robot’s perception capabilities are seamlessly integrated into the overall system architecture


Responsibilities


  • Build robust perception systems for real-time scene understanding, including object detection, classification, pose estimation, and human detection
  • Build a system to track objects & people across the scene
  • Develop and optimize pipelines for offline auto-labeling and real-time perception tasks to support dataset generation and model training
  • Design and implement manipulation policies using imitation learning, diffusion policies, and other ML techniques
  • Create and maintain datasets for manipulation tasks, including cleaning and augmentation pipelines
  • Collaborate with reasoning and control teams to ensure perception aligns with spatial understanding and robotic actions


Expertise


  • Proficiency in scene understanding technologies, including object and human detection, classification, and pose estimation
  • Experience in building pipelines for offline auto-labeling and real-time processing
  • Expertise in ML techniques for manipulation (e.g., imitation learning, diffusion policies)
  • Strong understanding of dataset creation, cleaning, and augmentation
  • Strong software engineering skills for real-world deployment, particularly on model optimisation for embedded systems
  • Familiarity with the latest machine learning and robotics research



Benefits


- High competitive salary.

- 23 calendar days of vacation per year.

- Flexible working hours.

- Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI/ML, Robotics and others.

- Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
