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.
Comprehensively plan a robot new product introduction program, accountable for scope, schedule, cost, and process. Although the emphasis of your program scope is the Hardware platform, your program is HIGHLY cross-functional, incorporating: Systems, Safety, Mechanical, Electrical, Firmware, Software, AI/ML, DFX, Regulatory, Integration, Test, Supply Chain, Design, Product, Marketing, Logistics, and more.
Track and motivate program and project progress end-to-end, coordinating many teams and sites to predictably execute the plan
Proactively anticipate risks, put handling plans in place, and manage them actively
Empathize with, partner with, negotiate with, and manage stakeholders. Use tactful and effective approaches to achieve alignments and secure commitments
Urgently identify, prioritize, and clear blockers
Establish efficient, effective, clear, timely program communication optimised for the very real challenges of collaboration across distances, cultures, and timezones. Your communication is tailored to the audience.
Based on situational judgment, manage at various levels between strategic and detailed
Using systems thinking, perspective, and technical judgment: bring clarity, prioritization, and guidance to teams
Roll up your sleeves and enthusiastically chip in wherever it may be needed for success of the program. At Humanoid, we’re all in this together.
