Job summary

1X is building humanoid robots for home use. The Hands Manufacturing group translates bold engineering into scalable, reliable hardware. You’ll help bring the NEO family to production with robust processes, fixtures, and test systems.

Your charter is to own electromechanical manufacturing from prototype through production ramp, improve yield, throughput, and cost, and influence design for manufacturability with cross‑functional teams on the floor.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on experience with PCBAs, wire harnesses, mechanical assembly, hardware bring-up, and functional/end-of-line testing.
• Proficiency with electrical debug tools, CAD/drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and statistical process qualification methods.

Responsibilities

• Own electromechanical manufacturing processes from prototype through production ramp, including PCBAs, harnesses, sensors, actuators, and integration.
• Develop and validate functional and end-of-line test systems, including test coverage, limits, instrumentation, and data capture.
• Design and qualify fixtures, tooling, assembly methods, and production stations for repeatable, ergonomic, mistake-proofed manufacturing.
• Improve first-pass yield, process capability, cycle time, OEE, and cost through data-driven root cause and corrective action.
• Influence product design through DFM, DFA, and DFT to eliminate manufacturing and test risk early.
