Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Overview

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.

Vision : 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.

Solution : 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.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize low-level embedded firmware for microcontrollers and processors (ARM Cortex, RISC-V, x86) in robotic systems.
• Port, configure, and maintain real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or QNX, as well as bare-metal environments.
• Implement and debug device drivers for peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet), DMA, interrupts, and timers.
• Optimize code for strict constraints (memory, latency, power consumption) in safety-critical applications.
• Integrate sensors (IMUs, LiDARs, encoders) and control algorithms (PID, sensor fusion).
• Debug and validate hardware-software interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG / SWD debuggers.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on PCB design, component selection, and bring-up.
• Contribute to system architecture, including security features (Secure Boot, TrustZone).
