Job summary

1X is hiring a Hands Manufacturing Engineer to own processes turning prototype robotic hands into repeatable, high-yield production. You will develop, qualify, and sustain assembly and test methods, define critical parameters, and prove capability with data.

You will prototype on the floor, run experiments, root cause issues, and convert successful approaches into documented production systems. The role focuses on improving yield, cycle time, OEE, and cost while reducing variation, scrap, and

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/GR&R, 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 the processes that turn 1X robotic hands from prototypes into repeatable, high-yield production.
• Develop, qualify, and sustain the assembly and test processes behind the planet's most complex robotic hands, defining critical process parameters and proving capability with data.
• Prototype methods on the floor, run the experiments, find the real root cause when things fail, and convert what works into documented, controlled, transferable production systems.
• 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.
