Manufacturing Electrical Engineer – Robotics Scale-Up

1X; San Carlos (CA); On-site; USD 148,000 - 181,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vis

Generous paid time off

Job summary

1X is hiring a hands-on engineer to scale humanoid robot manufacturing from prototype through full production. You’ll develop robust electromechanical processes, validate end-of-line tests, and design fixtures and stations for repeatable workflows on the production floor.

The role emphasizes reducing defects, improving yield and cycle time while collaborating across design, quality, test, automation, and production teams to ensure scalable, safe, and high-quality robotic systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years with a Bachelor’s or 3+ years with a Master’s degree.
• 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.
• Demonstrated structured problem solving and effective collaboration across design, quality, test, automation, and production teams.

Responsibilities

• Own electromechanical manufacturing processes from prototype through production ramp.
• 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.
