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.
The Autonomy & Safety Engineering team is responsible for ensuring 1X robots operate safely, reliably, and predictably in real-world human environments. We work at the intersection of robotics, autonomy, controls, perception, and systems safety to develop the frameworks, tooling, and validation methodologies that enable safe deployment of humanoid robots at scale. This team plays a critical role in defining how embodied AI systems safely interact with people, homes, and dynamic real-world environments.
Your Charter
We are seeking a deeply technical Principal Safety Engineer to help define what safety means for a new generation of humanoid robots. Humanoids present safety challenges that have never been fully solved: they are powerful, highly dynamic machines designed to operate autonomously, learn, and interact closely with people in complex, unstructured environments. There is no established playbook for solving many of these challenges and you will help write it.
This is not a compliance-first functional safety role; standards and established methods are tools, not the destination.
