DeepRec.ai partners with leading teams to deliver end-to-end recruitment services across robotics and embodied AI. From humanoid systems to autonomous drones, quadrupeds, and self-driving platforms, we help the innovators pushing embodied intelligence out of simulation and into real-world deployment.
Talent is scarce and highly specialised. When project success hinges on critical hires in complex environments, teams need a recruitment partner who lives and breathes the deep tech market.
DeepRec.ai's specialised consultants understand the technical nuance, delivery risk, and market dynamics that make hiring in robotics and embodied AI uniquely challenging.
Whether you're scaling your team or looking for your next career move, our team helps clients and candidates thrive across the full lifecycle of intelligent physical systems:

Why Choose DeepRec.ai as a Talent Partner?
A Dedicated Robotics & Embodied AI Division
DeepRec.ai operates through specialist divisions, each focused on a specific area of deep tech. This structure enables us to build deeper relationships with candidates and a strong technical fluency that generalist agencies can't replicate.
Credibility Through Delivery
We work closely with teams developing and deploying today's most complex systems. Our proximity to the bleeding-edge of real-world robotics gives us a strong understanding of evolving role requirements in a technically constrained market. This is underscored by our client net promoter score (NPS) of +100.
Responsible Recruitment
As part of Trinnovo Group, DeepRec.ai is B Corp certified, a member of a global community of organisations committed to putting people and the planet before profit. For our clients, this translates into ethical and responsible recruitment practices built on trust, accountability, and long-term impact.
Community-Driven Recruitment
Much of the most in-demand robotics and autonomy talent is not active on traditional hiring channels. Through sustained engagement with the deep tech ecosystem - including events, collaboration, and industry-led initiatives - DeepRec.ai maintains access to engineers and researchers working on cutting-edge embodied systems.

A Long-Term Talent Partner
We don’t take a transactional approach to hiring. Instead, we work as a long-term talent partner, supporting teams as technologies mature, projects evolve, and organisational needs change.
Our delivery model flexes to match the challenge. From executive search for critical leadership hires, to embedded and retained recruitment for high-volume hiring projects or time-sensitive buildouts, through to permanent and contract hiring across highly specialised roles. This allows us to provide continuity, context, and consistency across multiple hiring cycles, rather than resetting the process each time a new role opens.

Core Technical Domains
DeepRec.ai works with teams operating across the full embodied stack. Our consultants have the means to help you navigate shifting hiring requirements, whether that's system maturity, deployment context, or risk profile.
Our core technical domains (areas we specialise in recruiting for) include:
Robotics Platforms & Embodiment
We work with organisations developing physical systems that operate in dynamic environments. This includes research-driven humanoid programmes and logistics platforms designed and deployed at scale:
-
Humanoid robots
-
Service robots
-
Soft robotics
-
Quadrupeds and bipedal robots
-
Mobile manipulation systems
Learning & Control for Robotics
Hiring in this area requires an understanding of how learned behaviours transfer beyond controlled settings. We recruit specialists working on learning-based control for applications such as autonomous navigation, manipulation, and adaptive behaviour, including:
-
Reinforcement Learning (RL)
-
Imitation & Demonstration Learning
-
Sim-to-Real Transfer
-
End-to-end learning
-
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for control
-
Policy learning from foundation models
Perception, Vision & Sensor Fusion
Reliable autonomy depends on perception systems that perform under uncertainty. We work with teams hiring for:
-
Object recognition and tracking
-
SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping)
-
3D vision & depth sensing
-
Tactile and proprioceptive sensing
-
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for robotic perception
Foundation Models & Generative AI for Physical Systems
As foundation models move into physical domains, hiring demands shift accordingly. We recruit across:
-
Vision-Language Models (VLMs)
-
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models
-
Diffusion models for motion, grasping & trajectory generation
-
Large-scale robot foundation models
-
World models & predictive simulation
Simulation, Data & Digital Twins
For many robotics programmes, simulation is the primary environment for training, testing, and validation. We work with teams building and relying on:
-
Physics-based simulators
-
Synthetic data generation
-
Digital twins
-
Simulation environments for large-scale robot learning
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) & Collaboration
Systems operating alongside people introduce additional complexity around safety, usability, and trust. We recruit for teams focused on applications such as collaborative manufacturing, assistive robotics, and service environments, including:
-
Collaborative robots (cobots)
-
Gesture, intent & emotion recognition
-
Natural language and multimodal interaction
-
Safety-critical human-in-the-loop systems
Autonomous Systems
We also partner with organisations deploying autonomy at scale, from advanced mobility programmes to industrial automation. This includes teams working on:
-
Self-driving cars
-
Autonomous drones
-
Mobile robots in logistics & industry
