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 Senior CMF Designer to own colour, materials, and finish across our robot programmes. As the Industrial robot moves from Beta into Gamma production, CMF definition becomes a dedicated, full-time responsibility. Your primary focus will be the Industrial wheeled robot, covering tooling-ready specification, supplier management, and production sample governance. You will also contribute early CMF thinking to our other robot platforms as they develop at the early stages. You will be the first dedicated CMF hire at Humanoid, working within a multi-discipline Design Team across multiple robot platforms. What You’ll Do - Own CMF direction across all robot programmes, from early concept through to production-ready specification. - Develop CMF strategy as an integrated part of the team's overall design direction; working with design leads to ensure material and finish decisions reflect and reinforce the product's broader design intent. - Develop and maintain material libraries, finish standards, and sample archives relevant to robotics manufacturing contexts. - Define and document CMF specifications with the precision required for engineering handoff, colour, texture, durability, finish codes specifications etc… - Work closely with Industrial Designers, Fashion Designers and UX Designers to ensure material decisions reinforce, not contradict, the product's form language and functional context. - Collaborate with manufacturing partners and suppliers to validate material feasibility within programme timelines and cost envelopes. - Lead CMF reviews, presenting direction clearly to design leads and senior stakeholders. - Contribute to garment/soft goods material decisions where CMF and wearable design intersect. - Build the CMF process from the ground up ; standards, workflows, review cadences & governance. We’re Looking For - A designer who treats material choice as a communication decision. - 7+ years of CMF experience, ideally with complex manufactured products: robotics, automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, or industrial equipment. - Deep knowledge of materials, surface finishes, coatings, and manufacturing processes relevant to high-spec electromechanical products. - Experience producing CMF specifications for engineering teams, not just mood boards for stakeholders. - The confidence to defend a material direction and the rigour to back it up with process, technical trade offs and physical evidence. - Comfort operating in ambiguity as you'll be defining the function as much as executing within it. - Familiarity with soft goods or wearable materials is a plus, not a prerequisite. - Based in London, 5 days a week. WHAT WE OFFER - Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale. - 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown). - Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care. - Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings. - Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office. - Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics. - Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
