ABOUT 1X

We’re building humanoid robots that work in homes - 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 want to work 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 TEAM

Our Manufacturing | Hardware team turns engineering concepts into physical prototypes for NEO, our humanoid robot. Working closely with mechanical and manufacturing engineers, we use rapid prototyping to evaluate designs, resolve assembly issues, and improve how parts are made. Your work will help the team move from CAD to tested hardware quickly and reliably.

YOUR CHARTER

Own the day-to-day preparation, fabrication, and inspection of 3D-printed prototypes for NEO. …
