Original job description

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.
