Humanoid robotics jobs

Working in Humanoid robotics

Humanoid robotics is more than locomotion

Compare the subsystem in the job description: actuation and power, embedded controls, perception, manipulation, learning and integration are distinct routes into a humanoid team. A hardware role at a humanoid company belongs in this market, but it should not be read as a machine-learning research position.

Make your project evidence specific

For a controls project, explain stability, limits and failure recovery. For manipulation, show planning around obstacles and handling unsuccessful grasps. For a hardware project, describe the design constraints and validation procedure. These are portfolio suggestions, not measured hiring requirements across the listings.

Check the working environment

Ask how much time is spent with physical robots, what safety review precedes experiments and whether the advertised location is tied to a lab. Confirm travel, on-site expectations and ownership of integration testing with the employer.

Practical reference: MoveIt tutorials: motion planning and pick-and-place. Guidance is editorial, not a frequency analysis of employer requirements.

How these jobs are selected

Includes admitted technical roles at employers tagged as humanoid companies, plus titles explicitly naming humanoids, bipedal systems or locomotion. Employer context is intentional here; not every listed role builds a walking controller.
