Staff Robotics Control Engineer - Whole-Body Control (Wheeled Platform)
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 Staff Robotics Control Engineer to join our Control Team in London and lead the evolution of whole-body control for our Wheeled Alpha platform - a humanoid whose whole body spans a wheeled base, torso and two arms, controlled as one coordinated system.
We need genuine depth in classical whole-body control. You should know hierarchical and weighted QP formulations from the inside - not as a library you have called, but as something you have derived, implemented, tuned, profiled and debugged on real hardware under demo pressure. You should have opinions about strict hierarchies versus soft-weighted stacks, regularisation and nullspace behaviour, what to do when a task set becomes infeasible, and how to keep a redundant system clear of singularities without it feeling sluggish. Alongside that depth, you will set technical direction and mentor a st
