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.
We are looking for the Senior Perception Engineer - Spatial Intelligence to join our team based in London, UK.
What You'll Do
* Architect the spatial intelligence layer that unifies 3D geometry with semantic scene understanding to ensure safe and efficient navigation and locomotion in complex environments
* Develop advanced 3D spatial reasoning capabilities that provide our robots with long-term persistent spatial memory and a deep contextual awareness of their surroundings.
* Own the entire perception lifecycle by training large-scale multimodal networks and deploying and integerating them for ultra-low latency performance on edge hardware
* Bridge the gap between conceptual research and physical reality by implementing state-of-the-art 3D representations that track and interpret the environment state
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bridge the gap between large-scale model training and reliable robot integration.
* Stay ahead of the field, rapidly evaluate new model architectures, benchmarks, and datasets to guide our embodied AI roadmap
What We're Looking For
* Exceptional software engineering skills with a proven track record of shipping complex ML systems into production.
* Strong background in 3D scene understanding and the design of efficient spatial data structures.
* Deep experience in machine learning for vision or embodied AI, ideally with large models (VLMs, transformers, or multi-modal architectures).
* Proficiency in PyTorch and hands-on experience building, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale ML systems.
* High-impact individual contributor capable of taking projects from conceptual research to high-performance robot code.
* Comfortable working in a fast-moving, research-driven environment with evolving models, data, and tools.
What We Offer
* Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid bank holidays and company holidays.
* Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.
* Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
* Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in‑office.
* Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
* Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
