Assembly Engineer

Location: Falmouth, United Kingdom

Department: Production

Role Outline

Help us turn bolts, bearings, and brilliant ideas into humanoid robots.

We’re assembling the next generation of humanoid robots, and we’re looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Assembly Engineer to help bring them to life. If you love turning complex designs into physical reality and aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty, this is your chance to build the future - literally.

Whether you’re early in your career or deeply experienced, what matters most is a great attitude, clever problem-solving, and a willingness to learn fast.

Main Responsibilities

• Assemble humanoid robot subsystems from the ground up, including mechanical and electrical sub-assemblies and components
• Identify assembly issues early and give real, practical feedback that improves future designs and manufacturability
• Turn CAD into reality by building first-of-their-kind prototypes and iterating fast when designs change (which they will)
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to debug, refine, and improve robot designs and functionality 

Challenges

• Balancing speed with precision in a fast-moving environment
• Working through occasional ambiguity and making smart decisions with incomplete information
• Keeping builds clean, safe, and reliable, even under tight timelines
• Iterating quickly as designs evolve, components change, and priorities shift

Qualifications, Knowledge, Key Skills, and Experience

Essential

• Strong hands-on mechanical assembly skills
• Extensive experience using hand tools and power tools
• Familiarity with interpreting CAD models, engineering drawings, and assembly documentation
• Attention to detail and pride in clean, well-built assemblies
• Clear communication skills for giving practical feedback to engineers across disciplines
• Willingness to learn quickly and adapt as designs, tools, and processes evolve
• Strong work ethic, positive attitude, and a clever, hands-on approach to solving problems

Desirable

• Experience assembling complex electromechanical systems (robots, drones, or similar)
• Experience using small-scale automated test equipment
• Basic understanding of electrical wiring, sensors, and cable management in electromechanical assemblies or industrial environments
• Hands-on experience with 3D printing, rapid prototyping, or CNC-machined parts
• Knowledge of materials, tolerances, and mechanical and electrical testing methods
