Senior Perception Engineer – Spatial Understanding & Navigation at Humanoid in London Area, United Kingdom | Kablio

Role

Description

scene understanding

3d reconstruction

vision‑language

auto‑labeling

data pipelines

spatial reasoning

Develop and implement scene understanding and 3D reconstruction methods that give robots persistent spatial memory and geometric awareness.
Work on open-ended navigation powered by Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models — enabling robots to understand context, predict intent, and act in complex, dynamic environments.
Collaborate with cross-functional research and engineering teams to bring large vision-language models into real-world robotic systems.
Design and scale auto-labeling and large-scale data pipelines to train and evaluate multimodal models for navigation and interaction.
Stay ahead of the field — rapidly evaluate new model architectures, benchmarks, and datasets to guide our embodied AI roadmap
Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics
Develop next-generation spatial understanding systems for robot locomotion and manipulation, integrating perception and high-level reasoning.

Requirements

research

fast-paced

vision ml

large models

3d reconstruction

pytorch

Strong experimental and research skills — capable of taking projects from concept to model training, evaluation, and robot integration.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, research-driven environment with evolving models, data, and tools.
Deep experience in machine learning for vision or embodied AI, ideally with large models (VLMs, VLAs, transformers, diffusion, or multi-modal architectures).
Strong background in scene understanding, spatial reasoning, or 3D reconstruction from visual data.
Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives
Proficiency in PyTorch and hands-on experience building, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale ML systems.

Company

Overview

Since 2024

Year Founded

The company was established by Artem Sokolov to address real-world automation challenges with next-gen robots.

130+ Engineers

Experienced Team

The company has assembled a team of world-class engineers and researchers across multiple locations.

2025 Launch

Prototype Release

Planned to release the HMND 01 prototype for market testing and deployment.

15 kg Capacity

Load-bearing Ability

The robot can carry up to 15 kg, walk at 1.5 m/s, and operate for 4 hours on a single charge. It stands at 175 cm tall with both wheeled and bipedal configurations.

Blends advanced AI, multimodal vision reasoning, and modular hardware into a robust platform targeting logistics, manufacturing, and retail.
The company pivots on commercial impact—solving repetitive physical tasks in real settings, not just lab experiments.
A cinematic teaser video set the tone for its vision: human-robot coexistence in everyday environments.
A standout is its modular design allowing interchangeable platforms—wheeled or legged—aimed at rapid and affordable deployment.

Culture + Values

We foster a collaborative environment where we build, learn, and grow together.
We believe in developing technology that benefits humanity.
Our team is empowered to innovate, create, and execute with a shared passion for progress.
We encourage open communication and transparency in all our efforts.
We are driven by curiosity and a desire to solve the world's toughest problems.

Environment + Sustainability

2030

Net Zero Target

Aiming to reach net zero carbon emissions by the year 2030.

Strive to minimize our carbon footprint through energy-efficient technology and sustainable practices.
Prioritize eco-friendly materials and processes in our product development.
Support renewable energy initiatives and actively reducing waste in our operations.
Goal is to be a leader in sustainability within the tech industry by fostering innovation with minimal environmental impact.

Inclusion & Diversity

Promotes a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.
Committed to equal opportunity and creating a space where all employees can thrive.
Strives to reflect diversity in hiring practices and encourage diverse perspectives in teams.
