Job summary

1X is seeking a deeply technical Principal Safety Engineer to define safety for a new generation of humanoid robots.

Qualifications

• Deep experience in robotics safety and AI-enabled robotic systems.
• Experience designing safety cases, safety validation strategies, and safety test plans for complex robotic or autonomous systems.
