Engineering Lab Manager

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 lb 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
