Day Shift (7:00 AM – 3:30 PM) or Swing Shift (3:00 PM – 11:30 PM)
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 Hands team builds the most dexterous part of NEO – the hands that pick up cups, fold laundry, and turn doorknobs in real homes. Every subassembly we ship is built to micron-level precision because the difference between a robot that helps and a robot that frustrates comes down to how well its hands work. Without this team, NEO can't do its job – and 1X can't deliver on the mission.
Your Charter
Build the precision electromechanical subassemblies that give NEO the dexterity to work alongside people. Every motor, encoder, PCB, and harness you assemble is a direct contribution to 1X's mission of creating an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids. The quality of your work decides whether the robots we ship can be trusted in someone's home.
Key Outcomes
3+ years in precision electromechanical assembly, micro assembly, or similar fine-component manufacturing (humanoid robotics, medical devices, aerospace actuators, consumer electronics internals, optical assemblies)
Hands-on experience assembling miniature components – small motors, gearboxes, encoders, PCBs, and fine-pitch connectors
Proficiency with precision hand tools, calibrated torque instruments at low values (~1 Nm), and dimensional inspection tools (micrometers, pin gauges, dial indicators, calipers, or similar)
Compensation
$30.00/hr – $40.00/hr + Equity
