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 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About the Role

As a Senior Warehouse Operative Specialist, you will take hands-on ownership of day-to-day warehouse and inventory operations at our Vancouver site.

You will be responsible for receiving, storage, inventory accuracy, cycle counting, material movement, and kitting, ensuring components are available and ready to support fast-moving prototype robot builds.

As a key warehouse specialist in Vancouver, you will have the opportunity to establish and continuously improve site warehouse processes, working closely with Supply Chain, Procurement, Engineering, Production, and our global Warehouse, Inventory, Logistics & Planning (WILP) team.

This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, organized, self-directed, and comfortable taking ownership in a fast-paced hardware environment.

What Makes This Role Exciting

• Take ownership of warehouse and inventory operations for Humanoid's growing Vancouver robotics site

• Directly support the development and build of next-generation humanoid robots

• Help establish and improve warehouse, inventory, and material-flow processes

• Work closely with Engineering, Production, Procurement, Supply Chain, and global operations teams

• Operate in an environment where inventory accuracy and material availability directly impact robot builds

What You'll Do

• Own day-to-day receiving, storage, inventory control, cycle counting, kitting, and material movement for the Vancouver site

• Establish and maintain an organized stores area, location structure, labelling system, and material flow

• Receive incoming deliveries, verify materials against purchase orders, inspect for damage, shortages, or non-conformance, and accurately record receipts

• Maintain accurate, real-time inventory records in JIRA and inventory tracking systems

• Handle ESD-sensitive, high-value, serialized, and lot-controlled components, maintaining appropriate traceability

• Run regular cycle counts, investigate discrepancies, identify root causes, and maintain inventory accuracy

• Monitor inventory levels and help maintain appropriate minimum, maximum, and safety-stock levels for critical and high-usage materials

• Pick, stage, and deliver complete kits against BOMs and build schedules for prototype robot builds

• Work closely with Engineering, Production, Procurement, and Planning to identify material shortages and build risks early

• Manage material issues, unused material returns, transfers, scrap, quarantined stock, and supplier returns with accurate traceability

• Prepare outbound shipments and inter-site transfers between Vancouver, London, and Boston, supporting accurate shipping and customs documentation

• Track critical inbound and outbound shipments and escalate delays before they impact builds

• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized warehouse environment, applying 5S principles and applicable health and safety requirements

• Support asset tracking for tools, fixtures, and equipment held within the stores area

• Use Excel or Google Sheets to maintain inventory reports, count plans, and variance analysis

• Identify and implement practical improvements to receiving, storage, inventory, kitting, and material-flow processes

• Act as a trusted point of contact for warehouse and inventory processes and support colleagues in following established procedures

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on warehouse, stores, inventory control, or material operations experience within a technical industry, such as robotics, electronics, aerospace, automotive, advanced manufacturing, industrial automation, or complex hardware development

• Demonstrated experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, production, or prototype/R&D environments, with a strong understanding of the material-control requirements associated with complex technical products

• Experience supporting prototype builds, engineering builds, NPI, or low-volume/high-complexity production

• Strong experience with inventory control, cycle counting, stock reconciliation, and variance investigation

• Experience with kitting and issuing materials to engineering or production against BOMs and build schedules

• Ability to confidently work with BOMs, part numbers, technical documentation, and engineering drawings

• Experience handling technical components and assemblies, including appropriate storage, identification, and traceability practices

• Practical experience with Excel or Google Sheets, including formulas, lookups, pivot tables, and inventory reporting

• Strong understanding of receiving, storage, stock movement, traceability, and inventory accuracy

• Ability to work independently, prioritize competing requirements, and take ownership of day-to-day warehouse operations

• Strong organizational skills with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail

• Clear, proactive communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with Engineering, Production, Procurement, and Supply Chain teams

• Ability to adapt and maintain accuracy in a fast-paced technical environment with changing build priorities

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience working with 3PL providers, carriers, and import/export documentation

• Familiarity with WHMIS and Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) requirements

• Occupational First Aid (OFA Level 1) certification

• Experience applying Lean or 5S practices

• Supply chain, logistics, warehouse, or inventory certification such as APICS CPIM or equivalent

Working Conditions

• On-site role in Vancouver involving regular warehouse activity and material handling.

• Ability to handle items up to 23 kg / 50 lb, with appropriate equipment and reasonable accommodation provided in accordance with applicable law.

• Some schedule flexibility may be required to support critical robot builds and time-sensitive deliveries.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive extended health benefits starting on your first day, including fully paid medical and dental, virtual care, employee and family assistance.

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

• Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.

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

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