Job summary

1X is seeking a seasoned Manufacturing Engineer to turn prototypes into repeatable, high-yield production for robotic hands. You will prototype methods, run experiments, identify root causes, and translate solutions into controlled, transferable production systems with high standards and practical feedback.

You’ll own end-to-end manufacturing processes, drive capability improvements, and influence design through DFM, DFA, DFT, and tolerance analysis, ensuring scalable, low-variance production

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years with a Bachelor’s or 3+ years with a Master’s in manufacturing engineering for mechanical or electromechanical products.
• Hands-on experience developing and sustaining complex assembly processes from prototype through production.
• Proficiency with DOE, SPC, MSA/GRR, process capability, statistical quality tools, and manufacturing data analysis.
• Demonstrated experience with structured root cause analysis, DFM/DFA/DFT, tolerance analysis, and measurable process improvement.

Responsibilities

• Own assembly process development and sustaining from prototype builds through production ramp.
• Develop and qualify processes, fixtures, and test methods using DOE, MSA/GRR, and capability studies.
• Improve first-pass yield, process capability, cycle time, OEE, and cost while reducing variation, scrap, and rework.
• Drive defects and process excursions to root cause, implement durable corrective actions, and manage production transfer and process changes.
• Influence product and process design through DFM, DFA, DFT, tolerance analysis, and mistake-proofing.
