About 1X

We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not.

To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.

NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We're not demoing it - we're shipping it. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you.

If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

About the Team

Our Operations and Logistics team is the engine behind 1X's ability to build and ship NEO at scale. We make sure every component, subassembly, and shipment moves through our facility with precision and speed - because every robot we deliver depends on the work we do behind the scenes. Without us, manufacturing stops; with us, 1X moves forward.

Your Charter

To create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids, we have to first move materials safely, accurately, and on time. As a Materials Handler, you're the link between our supply chain and our production floor - ensuring engineering and manufacturing teams have exactly what they need, exactly when they need it, so NEO can be built and shipped without delay.

Key Outcomes

• Maintain inventory accuracy at or above target thresholds across all assigned material zones.

• Ensure on-time delivery of materials to production lines, preventing stoppages or delays.

• Process inbound and outbound shipments with complete, accurate documentation and zero compliance issues.

• Uphold a safe, clean, and organized warehouse environment, contributing to zero preventable safety incidents.

• Adapt priorities in real time to support shifting production demands and team needs.

Key Competencies

• Strong attention to detail and a bias toward accuracy in inventory and documentation.

• Calm under pressure - able to re-prioritize quickly when production needs shift.

• Safety-first mindset in every task, from forklift operation to material staging.

• Team-oriented and proactive communicator - flags issues early and keeps the floor informed.

• Hands‑on, reliable, and takes ownership of the work without needing follow‑up.

Minimum Requirements

• Prior experience in warehouse, logistics, or materials handling.

• Proficient operating forklifts, pallet jacks, and related material handling equipment.

• Comfortable using warehouse or inventory management systems and scanning tools.

• Able to perform physical work, including lifting and moving materials throughout the shift.

• Reliable, punctual, and able to thrive in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.

Preferred Skills

• Forklift certification (or willingness to certify on day one).

• Experience supporting a manufacturing or production environment (not just distribution).

• Familiarity with ERP or MRP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle).

• Experience with shipping carriers and outbound logistics documentation.

What does a successful 1X Team Member look like

Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it's the one thing you can't get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
