RL Engineer | Humanoid

Role: Reinforcement Learning Engineer – Manipulation Company: Humanoid Location: London, UK (King’s Cross) – on-site, five days a week Job Type: Full-time About Humanoid Humanoid is building the world’s most capable, commercially scalable and safe humanoid robots. Its platform, HMND-01, is already deployed in real industrial environments, which makes Humanoid the most serious humanoid robotics company in Europe. • 300+ people, 34+ nationalities, flat structure: your decisions ship directly into real robots. • Offices in London (HQ, King’s Cross), Boston, Vancouver and San Diego. • Values: Speed, Ambition, Passion, Trust. About the role The VLA Core team builds the base vision-language-action model the whole company runs on, covering pre-training, world models and RL. In this role you use reinforcement learning, in simulation and on real hardware, to turn that model into high-performing, robust manipulation policies. This is a senior individual contributor role with no management track. Robotics experience is not required: very few people have done RL on real robots, so strong RL in any domain is what matters. The team is research-adjacent, but the output is policies that work on the robot. Results are shared as blog posts, not papers. What you are expected to do • Train language- and vision-conditioned manipulation policies with RL, in simulation and in the real world. • Build challenging and diverse suites of manipulation tasks in simulation. • Work with Teleoperations to…
