Sonic Summary

info
  • Humanoid is seeking an Engineering Lab Partner to support their hardware lab operations in a fast-paced environment focused on humanoid robotics.
  • The role requires hands-on experience in an electronics or hardware lab, as well as demonstrated skills in managing physical inventory.
  • Candidates should be comfortable handling electronic components and have a strong attention to detail, with the ability to lift and carry up to 40 lbs.
  • The position offers a salary of $70,000 per year and is ideal for individuals with 2-3 years of relevant experience.
  • This is an exciting opportunity to grow within a robotics company at an early stage, contributing to the development of cutting-edge technology.

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

As our Engineering Lab Manager, you'll be the backbone of our hardware lab — keeping it organized, stocked, and running smoothly so our engineers can focus on building. This is a hands-on, highly visible role in a small, fast-moving office of around 30 engineers working on cutting-edge humanoid robotics.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a hands-on technical background who wants to grow inside a robotics company at an early and exciting stage.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Own lab organization — maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized lab environment. Keep workbenches, storage, and shared spaces in order so the team can work efficiently.

  • Engineering inventory management — track and restock components, consumables, tools, and lab equipment. Own the procurement process for day-to-day lab needs, working with vendors and internal stakeholders to keep things moving. Kit parts for engineering builds and repairs.

  • Support hardware and equipment — assist engineers with equipment setup, basic maintenance, and calibration of lab tools including oscilloscopes, power supplies, soldering stations, and test fixtures. Flag equipment issues and coordinate repairs or replacements.

  • Facilitate general lab operations — coordinate deliveries, manage lab access, support onboarding of new team members to lab tools and processes, and help enforce lab safety policies.

  • Support the team day-to-day — pitch in where needed across a small, busy engineering team. This might mean helping set up a demo, organizing a shipment, or sourcing a hard-to-find component quickly.

What We’re Looking For

  • Hands-on experience in an electronics, engineering, or hardware lab environment — through work or school.

  • Demonstrated experience managing physical inventory: receiving, tracking, reorder thresholds, vendor coordination in a lab, warehouse, makerspace, or production environment.

  • Familiarity with component and inventory management tools or systems

  • Comfort handling and organizing electronic components, PCBAs, cables, and lab equipment

  • Expertise with ESD handling protocols for sensitive electronic components and assemblies.

  • Strong attention to detail and a natural tendency to keep shared spaces organized and functional

  • Strong communication skills and comfort working closely with technical teams

  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-moving environment

  • This role requires the ability to lift and carry equipment and materials weighing up to 40 lbs as part of regular lab duties

Nice to Have

  • Experience with basic soldering, rework, or electronics assembly

  • Exposure to robotics, electromechanical systems, or a hardware startup environment

  • Comfort using tools like Notion, Jira, or similar for tracking and documentation.

  • Experience with PLM tools, such as TeamCenter or Arena.
