The posting

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 looking for a Validation Engineer to sit at the centre of our test and validation operation — someone who can both define what needs to be tested and get on the floor to do it.

This is not a pure execution role. You will work with Test and Validation Engineers and systems owners to understand what a subsystem must demonstrate, then translate that into structured test procedures, acceptance criteria, and measurement plans. When the rig is ready, you run the tests yourself: hooking up sensors, operating DAQ systems, acquiring clean data, and writing the reports that engineering teams sign off on.

Fabrication skills are a bonus — if you can also turn a bracket or jig to support a test setup, that is valuable, but the defining output of this role is structured, repeatable test procedures and the data they produce.

.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

TEST DEFINITION & PLANNING

- Test Procedures: Author clear, structured test procedures from engineering requirements or verbal briefs — covering setup, instrumentation, execution steps, pass/fail criteria, and data capture format.

- Acceptance Criteria: Work with systems owners and senior engineers to define measurable acceptance criteria for hardware under test.

- Test Plans: Translate validation scope into test plans that sequence activities, flag dependencies, and align with the project schedule.

- Method Development: Identify gaps in existing test coverage and propose new methods or measurement approaches to close them.

2. MEASUREMENT & DATA ACQUISITION

- Electromechanical Measurement: Set up and operate measurement equipment for electromechanical testing — sensors, actuators, harnesses, and mechatronic assemblies.

- Mechanical Measurements: Perform mechanical measurements including speed, displacement, force, stress, and strain using appropriate instrumentation (load cells, accelerometers, strain gauges, encoders).

- DAQ Systems: Configure, operate, and maintain Data Acquisition systems. Connect sensors, set up logging sessions, verify signal integrity, and export structured datasets for engineer review.

3. TEST EXECUTION & REPORTING

- Test Execution: Execute test procedures to the letter — operating rigs, maintaining conditions, logging deviations, and flagging anomalies in real time.

- Engineering Reports: Author clear engineering test reports — data tables, plots, test conditions, pass/fail outcomes, and observations that engineering teams can act on directly.

- Root Cause Analysis: Participate in fault investigation, applying systematic thinking to identify failure modes in hardware under test.

- External Test Houses: Prepare samples and documentation for external test house engagements; liaise on logistics and scheduling.

4. LAB OPERATIONS & ORGANISATION

- Tooling & Consumables: Coordinate ordering of tooling, PPE, and consumables — tracking stock levels and ensuring the lab is always equipped to work.

- 5S Management: Contribute to and sustain the 5S regime on the test floor.

- Equipment Health: Perform routine maintenance and calibration checks on lab equipment; flag items requiring service before they become blockers.

5. COMPONENT FAMILIARISATION & SUPPLIER INTERACTION

- Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with components used in robotics, aerospace, or automotive systems — understanding what a part is, how it moves, and what it can tolerate.

- Supplier Liaison: Interact with external suppliers for parts, materials, and services — communicating requirements clearly and following up on lead times.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Background: Hands-on experience in a test and validation environment in robotics, aerospace, or automotive — you understand how these systems are qualified, not just how they are built.

- Test Definition: Demonstrable experience writing test procedures, test plans, or acceptance criteria from engineering requirements. You have authored methods, not just followed them.

- CAD: Working CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) — able to read and edit models, design simple fixtures and jigs, and produce drawings for fabrication.

- Measurement & DAQ: Experience with electromechanical test and measurement equipment and at least one DAQ platform (National Instruments, Dewesoft, HBK, or similar) — hardware setup, software configuration, and data export.

- Problem Solving: Methodical approach to troubleshooting — able to isolate a problem, propose a fix, and verify the result.

Nice-to-Have:

- Fabrication: Competency with machine tools (lathe, mill, pillar drill) and hand tools for light fabrication of fixtures and jigs.

- Scripting: Python or MATLAB for test data processing or basic automation.

- Root Cause Analysis: Familiarity with structured RCA techniques (5-Why, Fishbone, FMEA).

- 5S / Lean: Experience running or auditing a 5S programme in a lab or production environment.

- External Test Houses: Prior experience coordinating sample preparation and logistics with accredited test facilities.

THE EQUIPMENT YOU WILL WORK WITH

- Mechanical Measurement: Callipers, Micrometers, CMM (basic), Dial Gauges

- Sensors: Load Cells, Strain Gauges, Accelerometers, Encoders, Thermocouples

- DAQ Systems (NI, Dewesoft, HBK, or equivalent)

- Hand Tool Sets — metrology, fitting, finishing

- Lathe, Milling Machine, Pillar Drill (where applicable)

WHAT WE OFFER

- Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid 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.

- Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.

- 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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
