About 1X
We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

Role Overview
Design, prototype, and deliver the electromechanical systems that let our Neo move, grasp, and last. From junior to staff, own subsystems end-to-end: concept → detail design → test → iterate →volume production.

• Design mechanical parts and electromechanical subsystems (frames, limbs, joints, power transmission systems, etc)

• Perform structural FEA to reach optimum stiffness to weight ratio and achieve our fatigue life criteria

• Select and integrate motors, sensors, PCBAs, cabling…

• DFx: manufacturability, assembly, cost, serviceability

• Build and break prototypes, iterate quickly

Must-Have

• BS/MS Mechanical Engineering

• CAD software fluency

• Strong fundamentals of structural mechanics

• Hands-on prototyping skills

• Structural FEA and G&T experience

• Extensive bearing selection experience

Nice-to-Have

• Robotics or consumer hardware volume production

• Ansys, injection molding, die casting, machining

Where You’ll Land

After a 30-min recruiter screen, we’ll match your skills to the best-fit opening across the different areas of the bot.

Benefits & Compensation

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company match

• Paid time off and holidays
