Full Description

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

As a Humanoid Robot AI Data Collector, you will teleoperate humanoid robots and follow well-defined procedures to generate high-quality datasets used for training advanced AI models. You will work hands-on with physical robots using on-site tools and interfaces—such as the Universal Manipulator Interface (UMI)—to execute structured tasks and capture precise data. A significant part of the role involves annotation and labeling, requiring strong focus, accuracy, and pride in craftsmanship.

This role is for individuals who thrive in a fast-moving, team-oriented environment; who take ownership, communicate openly, and embrace continuous learning. No technical background or formal education is required; full training is provided. This is a fully on-site role, working hands-on with robots and on-site systems such as UMI, and may involve periods of standing, regular movement, and interaction with physical hardware.

The position is shift-based on a weekly rota (06:30 am – 2:30 pm and 2:30 pm –10:30 pm), and includes travel requirements in line with business needs.

What You'll Do

• Teleoperate humanoid robots with consistency, precision, and a strong sense of ownership over data quality.

• Perform on-site data collection using tools such as the Universal Manipulator Interface (UMI).

• Capture and organise multimodal data (e.g., video, motion trajectories, task logs) with high accuracy and attention to detail.

• Annotate and label data following strict guidelines, treating the work as a high-skill technical discipline.

• Identify anomalies or issues proactively and escalate or solve them at the lowest responsible level.

• Suggest improvements to workflows, processes, or tools—everyone contributes to process design.

• Maintain clear, transparent documentation of progress and dataset quality.

• Move with urgency and focus, ensuring timelines and daily goals are met.

• Communicate openly with team members, sharing feedback and observations across functions.

• Collaborate respectfully and positively with teammates, helping create a supportive and high-performing culture.

We're Looking For:

• No formal technical education required — full training will be provided.

• Comfortable using computers and digital interfaces.

• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to follow precise instructions.

• Strong time management, urgency, and reliability in meeting daily/weekly targets.

• Ability to maintain focus and high-quality output during repetitive tasks.

• Proactive mindset — willingness to take initiative without waiting for direction.

• Clear, transparent communication skills for reporting findings and collaborating with the team.

• Commitment to iterative learning, continuous feedback, and constant improvement.

• Interest in robotics, AI, or emerging technologies is welcome but not required.

What We Offer:

• 30+ days time off, including 23 days annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).

• Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.

• Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

• Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.

• Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.

• Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
