Employer job description
From 1X's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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 Program
The AI Residency is a fixed-term position (3-6 months) for researchers and engineers who want to work on high-impact AI and robotics problems alongside full-time 1X team members. Residents work on real projects—simulation infrastructure, data management, model evaluation, and capability deployment—that ship to production robots in the field. This is not an internship where you build toy demos: you will contribute meaningfully to the systems that make NEO smarter, and your work will reach hardware in homes and warehouses.
