humanoid - Business Capability Lead – Engineering & Manufacturing
Requirements
• 10+ years of experience in business analysis, process engineering, or transformation roles in a technical environment. • Strong understanding of engineering and manufacturing product lifecycle processes. • Experience with systems such as PLM, ERP, and Requirements Management tools. • Hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence. • Experience in process modeling (BPMN, flow diagrams). • Strong analytical, structured thinking, and problem-solving skills. • Proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive initiatives end-to-end. • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills. • Experience with Teamcenter, SAP, or similar platforms. • Experience in hardware, robotics, or manufacturing environments. • Familiarity with CMMI, ASPICE, APQP or similar frameworks. • Experience with automation or AI-driven tools. • Startup or fast-scaling environment experience.
Responsibilities
• Drive day-to-day execution of capability development across Engineering & Manufacturing. • Support to develop end-to-end capabilities across the product lifecycle (requirements, design, configuration/change management, verification & validation, manufacturing planning, release). • Partner with key stakeholders across Engineering and Manufacturing to drive alignment, adoption, and successful implementation of business capabilities. • Conduct capability mapping of current engineering and manufacturing capabilities (skills, tools, processes, infrastructure). • Define and drive the capability development strategy aligned with business goals, product roadmap, and technology trends. • Perform capability gap analysis and develop actionable plans to close identified gaps. • Create and maintain a capability roadmap aligned with product maturity growth (e.g., Alpha → Beta → Production), including clear milestones, timelines, and resource needs. • Lead capability maturity assessments against industry best practices. • Define and execute improvement plans across design management, configuration management, verification & validation, and manufacturing planning. • Ensure alignment with product milestones (e.g., Alpha/Beta), scalability needs, and regulatory standards (ISO, functional safety, etc.). • Drive implementation of capability-building initiatives (e.g., process improvements, training, knowledge sharing, tool adoption). • Identify opportunities for technology integration to improve engineering efficiency and scalability. • Translate business needs into system and tooling requirements and support implementation (PLM, ERP, Requirements Management, etc.). • Define, model, and optimize engineering and manufacturing processes (as-is and to-be). • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies and drive data-driven improvements. • Establish performance metrics (KPIs) to measure capability effectiveness and track progress. • Identify risks related to capability development and define mitigation strategies. • Establish governance mechanisms, including process controls and audits. • Maintain documentation (Confluence) • Track progress, risks, and outcomes; report to the Capability Owner with clear recommendations. • Foster a culture of continuous improvement across Engineering and Manufacturing.
Benefits
• Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale. • 30+ days time off, including 23 days 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.
