Business Capability Analyst — 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

• 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.
