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.

Continuously improve interview processes, technical assessments, and decision-making frameworks
•
Develop proactive sourcing strategies for hard-to-find, niche talent in physical AI and robotics
•
Leverage your existing network across humanoid robotics / robotics ecosystem
•
Build and maintain long-term relationships with passive candidates and industry experts
•
Operate as a modern recruiter using AI tools, automation, and agents to increase efficiency and reach
•
Utilize ATS systems and LinkedIn Recruiter as core tools, while going beyond them with creative sourcing approaches
•
Experiment with new tools, workflows, and data-driven methods to improve hiring outcomes
•
Own and track hiring funnel metrics (time-to-hire, conversion rates, pipeline quality)
•
Identify bottlenecks in the hiring process and implement solutions quickly
•
Provide regular, data-backed updates to leadership and hiring teams
•
Conduct 1:1s with senior recruiters, mentoring and elevating hiring capabilities across the team
•
Help define and scale best practices for technical recruiting in a deep-tech environment
•
Contribute to building a high-performance talent function aligned with company growth
What We're Looking For
•
Proven experience leading technical recruiting for complex engineering roles (hardware + software)
•
Deep expertise and network within:
•
Humanoid robotics / robotics / physical AI ecosystem
•
Strong understanding of engineering domains:
•
Robotics systems, embedded systems, AI/ML, autonomy
•
Track record of closing high-impact roles in competitive markets

Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.
•
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.
