Job summary

1X is seeking an Electrical Engineer to develop and validate electrical prototypes for NEO, turning designs into buildable hardware and working with technicians to resolve issues before designs move forward.

You will bridge electrical design and physical builds, leveraging prototype data to inform the next iteration while ensuring manufacturability and reliability in home robotics applications.

Qualifications

• 3–7 years of experience in electrical engineering or a related hands‑on hardware development role.
• Experience developing and debugging electrical prototypes, harnesses, or cable assemblies.
• Ability to read and create electrical schematics and wiring documentation.
• Experience using measurement tools to test continuity and diagnose electrical faults.
• Experience working with technicians or fabrication partners to build, test, and iterate on hardware.

Responsibilities

• Develop electrical prototypes, wire harnesses, and cable designs that support testing and iteration on NEO.
• Translate schematics and wiring diagrams into clear build documentation, and work with technicians to resolve issues found during assembly.
• Plan and run continuity and fault-isolation testing, identifying opens, shorts, and connection issues before hardware moves downstream.
• Debug issues on prototypes and on the robot, then make practical design or documentation changes based on what you find.
• Improve recurring builds through better documentation, fixturing, and design-for-manufacturability work with the wider team.
• Partner across engineering and fabrication to move from early prototypes toward reliable, repeatable assemblies.
