Engineering Recruitment Lead (Physical AI / Humanoid Robotics)

Team: Recruitment Location: UK, London Employment type: FullTime

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 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring an Engineering Recruitment Lead to join our Recruitment team based in London. This is not a traditional recruiting role. You will act as a strategic hiring leader embedded within engineering, responsible for delivering critical hires across robotics, AI, and hardware — at speed and quality.

You will own the end-to-end hiring strategy, build high-performance pipelines in niche domains, and continuously optimize how we attract and close top-tier talent in one of the most competitive markets globally.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead end-to-end recruitment for highly specialized roles across:
  • Humanoid robotics (controls, perception, deep learning, reinforcement learning and others)
  • Embedded systems, electronics, and mechanical engineering
  • AI/ML, autonomy, and robotics software
• Ensure roles are closed on time with strong candidate quality and high acceptance rates
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define requirements, calibrate profiles, and drive decisions
• Work on-site daily with engineering teams to deeply understand technical needs and culture
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, ensuring alignment on expectations and hiring bar
• Continuously improve interview processes, technical assessments, and decision-making frameworks
