Business Analyst / Process Design Expert — Manufacturing

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 a Business Capability Analyst, you will define and strengthen core manufacturing capabilities processes, roles, controls, and digital enablement so manufacturing, assembly, and production workflows are clear, scalable, and interoperable across Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and IT. You’ll ensure these workflows are supported by PLM, ERP, and MES, building the capability foundation to scale from Alpha to Beta and beyond.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Define and mature manufacturing capabilities (planning, assembly execution, production readiness, configuration and change control).

• Establish clear roles, responsibilities, and ownership models within each capability.

• Build end-to-end capability maps linking engineering design to manufacturing execution.

• Map and analyse as-is and to-be processes to identify gaps and inefficiencies.

• Define and document inputs, outputs, quality gates, KPIs, and control mechanisms.

• Support process governance through checklists, audits, and maturity assessments.

• Translate capability requirements into PLM, ERP, MES, and Jira configuration needs.

• Ensure workflows are supported by appropriate digital tools and data structures.

• Define integrations across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain systems.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Test & Validation, IT, and Quality teams.

• Facilitate stakeholder reviews, incorporate feedback, and refine capability designs.

• Support change management to drive adoption of new workflows and controls.

• Identify execution bottlenecks and propose data-driven improvements.

• Contribute to the capability improvement roadmap for Beta and Production readiness.

• Ensure capabilities and processes scale and remain compliant as the organisation grows.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years in manufacturing operations, industrial engineering, or hardware production environments.

• Experience supporting early-stage hardware/robotics teams (Alpha/Beta builds).

• Strong understanding of manufacturing planning, assembly operations, and configuration management.

• Familiarity with PLM (Teamcenter/Windchill), ERP, MES, and workflow tools like Jira.

• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, APQP, or digital manufacturing methodologies is a strong plus.

• Ability to work with capability frameworks, process mapping, and governance structures.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.

• Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.

• Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.

• Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

• Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in‑office.

• Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.

• Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
