Humanoid

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're hiring a Senior/Staff Autonomy Engineer focused on Spatial Intelligence to join our team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between classical spatial geometry and next-generation AI. You will lead the design and development of robust state estimation, long-term mapping, and localisation loops, with a specific focus on integrating modern machine learning techniques and foundation geometry models into our core navigation stack. Your work will ensure our robots possess rock-solid spatial awareness and execute highly reliable trajectories over extended deployments in complex, real-world environments.

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 integrating 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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
