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 Team
The Quality & Reliability team spans Quality, Reliability, Compliance, Failure Analysis, and Test & Validation. Together, we own ensuring 1X products are safe, reliable, compliant, and ready for customers — embedding quality systems, reliability engineering, and regulatory compliance throughout the entire product development lifecycle. Our work touches every phase of how NEO gets built and how it performs in the real world, and we hold the bar that lets the rest of the company ship with confidence.
Your Charter
Own quality on the polymer production line — catching issues early through rigorous process and product audits, containing problems before they escape, and leading the Material Review Board process to ensure nonconforming material is properly investigated, dispositioned, and resolved. You feed production data back into the team so we continuously raise the bar on what leaves the floor.
Key Outcomes
Production line issues contained rapidly, with documented investigation records, clear escalation paths, and corrective actions that prevent recurrence
MRB process led end-to-end — nonconforming material segregated, investigated, and dispositioned with thorough documentation and cross-functional alignment
Process audit compliance tracked across all polymer assembly operations, with non-conformances driven to verified closure
Emerging trends identified through continuous production data analysis before they result in escapes or customer impact
Product audit data — destructive pull tests, hardness measurements — consistently collected, reported against acceptance criteria, and used to drive measurable quality improvements
Key Competencies
Polymer and adhesives expertise: deep hands-on knowledge of adhesive dispensing processes, failure modes, and material behavior in a production context
Root cause investigator: leads structured investigations into production and process issues, drives containment, and gets to permanent corrective action
Data analyst: pulls insights from production data using Excel, JMP, or Minitab — finds the trend before it becomes an escape
Quality practitioner: applies PFMEA, Control Plans, and MRB processes as working tools, not checkbox exercises
Clear communicator: writes investigation reports and dispositions that others can act on, and escalates decisively when issues exceed scope

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 Team
The Materials & Logistics team is the heartbeat of our San Carlos operation — the people who keep components flowing, production lines stocked, and shipments moving on time. Without us, NEO doesn’t get built. Every robot that walks out of our facility starts with the work this team does, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Your Charter
As a Materials Handler, you are directly responsible for ensuring the physical flow of materials that keeps NEO production on schedule. Manufacturing and engineering depend on you to have the right parts in the right place at the right time — every shift, without exception. This role sits on the critical path between supply and build, and the precision of your work translates directly into our ability to ship robots that change how people live.

","title":"Material Handler","highlight":null,"sharing_image":null,"requirements":"Key Outcomes
Maintain inventory accuracy at or above 99% through disciplined scanning, labeling, and system updates.
Keep production lines continuously supplied — zero stoppages caused by material delays on your shift.
Process inbound, outbound, and internal transfers with complete, accurate documentation, every time.
Own the safety and organization of your work area — every shift ends cleaner and safer than it started.
Respond to shifting production priorities quickly, escalating risks early so the team can adjust.
Key Competencies
Bias for action — you see what needs to be done and move on it without waiting to be asked.
Detail-obsessed — you treat inventory accuracy and documentation as non-negotiable, because downstream teams depend on it.
Calm in a fast-paced environment — priorities shift, equipment moves, and you stay focused and safe through it.
Team-first communication — you flag issues early, share context generously, and never let a teammate get blindsided.
Safety mindset — you understand that one shortcut can hurt someone, and you refuse to take it.
Minimum Requirements
Prior experience in warehouse, logistics, or materials handling.
Hands-on experience operating forklifts and pallet jacks — certification is ideal but not a deal breaker if you can pass training quickly.
Comfortable using scanners, labels, and shipping documentation in a daily workflow.
Able to perform physical work, including lifting and moving materials throughout a full shift.
Reliable and punctual — your team is counting on you to be there, on time, every shift.
Preferred Skills
Experience working in a manufacturing or production environment (electronics, automotive, or robotics a plus).
Familiarity with WMS or ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar).
Current forklift certification.
Experience supporting a fast-scaling operation where processes are still being built.

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 Team
The Manufacturing & Production team turns precision engineering into reality at scale - we’re the people who make NEO buildable, repeatable, and real. The Hands are among the most demanding parts of the robot to manufacture, and the work we do here directly determines whether NEO can do meaningful work in people’s homes. If you want your craft to show up in every robot we ship, this is where it happens.
Your Charter
Our mission is to create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids that work alongside people. The Hands are how NEO actually does that work - and you own the manufacturing of them. As Senior Manufacturing Engineer for Hands, you take precision mechanical assemblies, electromechanical actuators, sensitive electronics, and final precision builds from prototype through volume production. You are the technical anchor for the Hands ME function, and the processes you design are what let us produce hands that are precise, repeatable, and reliable.

","title":"Senior Manufacturing Engineer","highlight":null,"sharing_image":"https://recruitee-main.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/offers/2614529/normal_sharing_folmwehasccm.png","requirements":"Key Outcomes
Own first-pass yield, cycle time, and reliability for Hands assemblies, with clear accountability for part-family quality metrics as the line scales in headcount and operating hours.
Take Hands components and subassemblies through NPI from EVT to stable volume production, partnering with design engineering on DFM/DFA and managing the ramp end-to-end.
Build and validate the fixtures, tooling, and end-of-line test stations that drive repeatability across operators and shifts.
Stand up SPC and in-process quality monitoring, and resolve tolerance stack-ups, mechanism variability, and electromechanical integration issues before they reach the floor.
Set the technical bar for the Hands ME function - building the standard work, documentation, and training that hold up as the team grows, and raising the engineers and technicians around you.
Key Competencies
Deep ownership of precision mechanical and electromechanical assembly - you understand fine motion mechanisms, actuator integration, and sensitive electronics, and you sweat the details that make them repeatable.

Minimum Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience with a strong record in precision mechanical or electromechanical assemblies.
Demonstrated experience designing fixtures, tooling, and test stations for repeatable assembly, including ESD handling, in-process electrical test, and end-of-line functional test.
Strong DFM/DFA background with experience leading NPI from prototype through volume production.
Proficiency with GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, CAD, PLM, and ERP/MES systems, and a high standard for manufacturing documentation.
Preferred Skills
Experience with fine motion mechanisms, miniature mechanical systems, or other compact precision assemblies.
Background in humanoid robotics, prosthetics, surgical robotics, or other dexterous end-effector systems.
Familiarity with CAM programming and precision machining for fixture and prototype work.
Exposure to high-mix, low-volume environments with frequent design iteration.
Experience with Odoo or a comparable ERP/MES platform, and scaling a production area across multiple shifts.

A lifelong tinkerer: you’ve been building, modifying, and breaking physical systems long before it was your job.

A portfolio of side projects that goes far beyond basic prototyping and shows deep technical ownership.
You are the kind of person where:
If given four motors, a battery, an MCU, an IMU, an aluminum block, and access to a mill and soldering iron, you can make something meaningful move within a day—and explain exactly what limits its performance.

You’re comfortable on a manual mill and know your way around CAM and CNC job setup. You understand how to get the most out of additive manufacturing—while respecting its limits.
You can quickly design and spin simple PCBs, and you’re fluent in using tools like Claude Code to bring up new boards efficiently.
You take ownership across the full stack: mechanical design, electronics, and test software. Most importantly, you close the loop—running tests, evaluating results, and rapidly iterating. You either drive improvements independently or act quickly on feedback to refine the system.
Your ability to move fast and iterate continuously is what enables us to build the future in a deeply inspiring way.

Exposure to biomechanics or cognitive science.
Bias toward action over argument.
Comfort executing on ideas that didn’t originate with you.
Respect for evidence over opinion.
Persistence: you keep pushing until the system either approaches human-level performance or yields a clear explanation of why it cannot.
We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor through safe, intelligent humanoids.
Your role is to challenge the current state of the art by building real systems—quickly, rigorously, and in constant contact with reality.
You ideate new mechanisms, architectures, and system concepts; turn them into working hardware; and subject them to relentless scrutiny. Prototypes are not presentations—they exist to answer concrete questions. You build to test ideas, invalidate assumptions, expose hidden constraints, and push performance as far as it will go. You don’t stop when something works—you stop when it approaches human-level behavior, or when you understand precisely why it doesn’t.
You move fluidly between mechanics, electronics, and software. You iterate fast, but with intent: each build is measured, benchmarked, and compared against biological or system-level reference targets. When something holds up, you push it harder. When it breaks, you learn from it and move on.
This role is fundamentally about execution. You will both originate ideas and bring others’ concepts to life—including ideas that are not yours. You don’t get stuck in theoretical debates or optimization-before-evidence; you prefer to build, test, and let the system speak.
Crucially, you don’t stop at clever prototypes. You do what it takes to translate successful concepts into something that can survive integration with real products, real constraints, and real manufacturing processes.
Research and critically evaluate state-of-the-art technologies across hardware, actuation, sensing, and system design, with a focus on what can realistically move humanoid performance forward.
Rapidly prototype promising concepts—your own and others’—using electronics, mechanics, and software to get to first hardware as quickly as possible.
Design experiments and test setups to rigorously evaluate performance, characterize limits, and generate trustworthy data.
Relentlessly benchmark and falsify prototypes against explicit performance targets.
Work closely with engineering, materials, and manufacturing teams to turn successful prototypes into credible paths toward product integration.

Role Overview
We are looking for a cross-functional Firmware or Embedded Engineer to develop and maintain
low-level firmware that supports and enables system-level hardware architecture. In this role,
you will focus on robust, maintainable, and well-structured embedded software that spans
multiple hardware domains and directly informs architectural decisions.
You will work closely with hardware architects, electrical engineers, systems engineers, and test
engineers to ensure firmware reliably bridges hardware capabilities and higher-level system
requirements across prototype and production platforms.
The system is a humanoid robot with 20+ distributed embedded nodes that must communicate
deterministically, fail safely, and operate continuously in uncontrolled environments. This is a
new product category. Established playbooks from adjacent industries are useful starting points,
but many of the problems you will encounter do not have known solutions. The ideal candidate
reasons from first principles, works comfortably at the boundary between firmware and
hardware, and is energized rather than frustrated by problems that require novel approaches.
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain firmware for the deterministic communication bus connecting 20+
embedded nodes to a central controller, including cyclic data exchange, distributed clock
synchronization, and protocol state management
Design real-time data interfaces and acyclic communication channels for device
configuration, parameterization, and runtime diagnostics
Architect safety communication firmware that delivers safe shutdown commands within
deterministic time bounds, using black channel principles (independent CRC, watchdog,
sequence validation) over untrusted transport
Responsible for the testing, validation, and verification of initial firmware releases to
ensure functionality, reliability, and performance requirements are met
Integrate network-based safety functions with hardware mechanisms including external
watchdogs, gate driver enables, and hardwired safe-state paths
Collaborate with hardware architects to define interfaces, requirements, and trade-offs;
support bring-up, integration, and debugging of new platforms
Implement drivers and hardware abstraction layers for embedded bus interface
(CAN,CANopen, SPI, I²C, UART) used for communication with battery management, sensors,
and peripheral ICs.
Design secure bootloader architecture with cryptographic signing and validated rollback
for firmware updates delivered over the communication bus
Develop diagnostic and telemetry infrastructure: logging, error counters, communication
statistics, and DFT hooks for production end-of-line validation
Evaluate network topology and redundancy strategies for production, considering failure
domain isolation and physical routing constraints within a mobile form factor
Document firmware architecture, interfaces, and assumptions; improve code structure,
readability, and maintainability

ideal candidate understands power conversion from magnetics and control loop fundamentals,
writes firmware that is robust under component variation and fault conditions, and can reason
about the interactions between charger behavior, battery chemistry, and EMC performance.
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain charger firmware controlling AC-DC power conversion stages,
including power factor correction and isolated DC-DC conversion topologies
Implement charge profile management for multi-series lithium-ion packs: constant-
current, constant-voltage, and taper phases with cell-chemistry-appropriate voltage and
current limits
Architect the charger-to-BMS communication interface over CAN or similar embedded
bus, coordinating charge current requests, pack voltage feedback, temperature limits,
and fault signaling between the two subsystems
Responsible for the testing, validation, and verification of initial firmware releases to
ensure functionality, reliability, and performance requirements are met
Implement power converter control loops in firmware: voltage regulation, current
regulation, and soft-start sequencing with stability under varying line and load conditions
Develop fault detection and protection firmware: input overvoltage/undervoltage, output
overcurrent, overtemperature, ground fault, and loss-of-communication with the BMS,
each with defined safe-state transitions
Support EMC compliance by understanding how firmware-controlled switching
frequencies, gate drive timing, and measurement sampling interact with conducted and
radiated emissions performance
Collaborate with hardware architects to define charger hardware requirements, converter
topology trade-offs, and the boundary between hardware protection and firmware
protection
Implement production test modes and end-of-line validation routines for charger
acceptance, including efficiency measurement, regulation accuracy, and protection trip-
point verification
Develop diagnostic logging and telemetry for charge cycle data, fault history, and
component health trending
Document firmware architecture, interfaces, and assumptions; improve code structure,

developed or substantially modified firmware controlling an AC-DC or DC-DC power
converter in a shipped product. Experience should include closed-loop regulation,
protection logic, and charge profile implementation, not solely integration of a digital
power controller evaluation board.
Power conversion fundamentals working understanding of switched-mode power
supply operation: common AC-DC topologies (flyback, LLC, phase-shifted full bridge),
power factor correction stages, transformer isolation, and how firmware-controlled
parameters (switching frequency, duty cycle, phase shift) affect converter behavior
Battery charging knowledge — understanding of lithium-ion charge protocols (CC-CV,
multi-stage), the relationship between charge rate and cell degradation, and how
temperature and cell age affect charge termination criteria
Embedded bus fluency hands-on CAN implementation for charger-to-BMS
coordination, plus additional embedded interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART) for communication
with power controller ICs, monitoring devices, and auxiliary circuits
Hardware debug at the firmware boundary experience using oscilloscopes, current
probes, and power analyzers to diagnose problems that span firmware control behavior,
converter waveform quality, and thermal performance
Schematic literacy — ability to read power stage schematics (switching FETs, gate
drivers, magnetics, snubbers, feedback networks) and understand how firmware
interacts with the physical circuit
Comfortable debugging firmware on real hardware using standard lab tools
Ability to collaborate closely across hardware, systems, and software teams
Preferred Qualifications
First-principles problem solving a track record of approaching power conversion
and charging problems from circuit and control theory fundamentals rather than relying
solely on vendor reference designs or digital power controller auto-tuning tools
EMC and regulatory compliance direct experience with charger or power supply
products that required FCC Class B, CE, or equivalent emissions certification.
Understanding of how firmware decisions (switching frequency selection, spread-
spectrum modulation, burst mode behavior) affect compliance test results.
EV charging or high-power battery chargers experience at automotive charger
suppliers, EVSE manufacturers, or industrial battery charger companies where charge
power exceeds 500W and regulatory, thermal, and reliability requirements are
demanding
Consumer electronics power systems experience with UL/IEC 62368-1, IEC 61000
series, or similar consumer safety and EMC standards, where the charger must operate
safely in a household environment with untrained users
Power factor correction firmware implementation of active PFC control loops
(boost, bridgeless, totem-pole) in firmware, including transient response tuning and THD
optimization
Digital power control experience implementing compensator algorithms (PID, type-
II/III) in firmware for voltage and current mode control of switched-mode converters,
including discrete-time loop design and stability analysis
Thermal management firmware experience with firmware-controlled thermal
derating, fan speed management, or power limiting based on real-time temperature
monitoring of power stage components
Experience contributing to hardware architecture or system-level design decisions
Familiarity with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, or similar)
Experience supporting hardware through prototype and production phases

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 Team:
The Manufacturing Engineering team is the bridge between design and reality - turning robots that work in the lab into robots that ship at scale. Every NEO that leaves our floor passes through the processes, fixtures, and standards this team builds. Without us, there's no product in customers' homes.
Your Charter:
To create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids, we need to manufacture them reliably, repeatably, and at volume. As a Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you are on the production floor making that happen - dialing in mechanical and electrical assembly processes, validating wire harnesses, troubleshooting the issues that would otherwise stop the line, and turning engineering intent into builds that hold up in the real world. The cleaner and more capable our manufacturing process, the faster NEO gets into homes.

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor through safe, intelligent humanoids.
We strive for excellence in all we do, solving some of the hardest problems in robotics with the world’s most talented individuals. Every part of our robots is designed and produced in house, from motor coils to AI, reflecting our vertically integrated approach. At 1X, you will own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and be rewarded based on merit.
Our mission at 1X Labs is to provide the science and technology that enables human-level, general-purpose humanoids.
We are rigorous about identifying the gap between where humanoid performance is today and what human-level capability actually demands. From there, we go deep on fundamentals, take long but efficient and often non-obvious paths, develop new technologies, and carry those advances all the way into the product. We are uniquely positioned to make research outcomes into products with our focus and tight integration in materials, component design, systems engineering and manufacturing.
A humanoid is an unusually integrated system. Meaningful progress only emerges when sensing, actuation, materials, control, and intelligence advance together—each pushed close to its real limits. 1X Labs is built around people who have gone far enough in their own field to reason confidently at those limits, and who can engage seriously with neighboring domains because they understand which constraints truly matter.
You are deeply capable in your domain—enough that your intuition is shaped by years of work on hard, concrete problems. You don’t adopt interdisciplinarity as an identity; it’s a consequence of mastery and working on systems where no single discipline is sufficient.
You’re drawn to environments where technical depth is assumed, ideas are tested against reality, and research only counts if it ultimately ships.
1X Labs exists to close the gap between today’s humanoids and human-level capability.
Some of the most important advances won’t fit into a predefined role.
This is an open call for exceptionally technical people who have a concrete path—an idea, a prototype, or a body of research—that could materially push humanoid performance closer to human level.
You might have started building something and realized it needs additional resources, real teams, and real integration to matter.
You might be sitting on years of deep technical work that never made it past a paper, a lab, or a prototype.
You might be at a larger organization where system-level bets don’t survive.
We are looking for people who can ideate, build, test, and prove a path forward.
Our intent is to provide the environment where that path can be taken all the way to reality: interdisciplinary teams, serious hardware, rapid iteration, and a direct line into product.
This call is intentionally selective. You should have at least one of the following:
A first-author or equivalent high-impact scientific publication in a relevant technical field.
A prototype or system that demonstrably advanced the state of the art.
Prior experience founding or co-founding a technical venture, including having raised meaningful external capital (e.g. >$3M) or taken a deep-technology product to deployment.
A comparable, concrete technical track record that shows you can carry an idea through to reality.

As a Tactile Sensing Researcher / Engineer on the 1X Labs team, your role is:
Your role is to push tactile sensing toward human-level performance by developing sensing systems that capture the structure and dynamics of physical contact, not just detecting touch.
You will take a promising tactile sensing technology and drive it forward through repeated cycles of design, fabrication, and testing. This is not a sensor-integration role. You are expected to extend the underlying technology itself—by understanding its physical limits, removing bottlenecks, and systematically improving performance.
Biological touch serves as the reference system. You study it to extract concrete performance targets—spatial and temporal resolution, dynamic range, compliance coupling, robustness—and use those targets to guide engineering decisions. The goal is not biological imitation, but convergence at the level of functional performance.
You operate end-to-end: from materials and structures at the contact interface, through transduction mechanisms and electronics, to full sensor prototypes tested under realistic contact conditions. Progress is measured in what the system can now sense, resolve, and withstand compared to before
Design, fabricate, and iterate tactile sensing hardware across multiple generations.
Develop and refine sensor structures, materials interfaces, and transduction mechanisms.
Build experimental setups to characterize tactile sensors under realistic loading, motion, and contact conditions.
Quantitatively evaluate performance limits and identify dominant failure modes.
Drive sustained performance improvements toward human-level tactile capability.
Work closely with actuation, materials, and control teams to ensure tactile sensing meaningfully supports dexterous manipulation and interaction.

San Carlos, CA (on-site)
The Role
NEO is a humanoid robot that walks into homes, learns from video, and works alongside people. We need engineers who can make its brain and nervous system faster, more reliable, and more capable.
You'll own the core C++ infrastructure that everything else runs on: sensor pipelines, motor control loops, inter-process communication, and the foundational libraries that ship on every robot. Your code executes thousands of times per second on hardware moving through the real world.
In This Role You Will:
Design and implement low-latency, high-throughput systems in modern C++ that run reliably on resource-constrained hardware
Own critical real-time infrastructure: sensor fusion pipelines, motor control interfaces, deterministic scheduling, and the foundational libraries shipping on every robot
Build the IPC and serialization layers connecting perception, planning, and actuation—lock-free queues, memory pools, shared-memory buffers, and high-rate logging that keeps data flowing without surprises
Establish performance as source of truth through microbenchmarks, flamegraphs, perf counters, regression tracking, and tooling that catches drift under load
Debug difficult issues across layers: toolchain/ABI problems, linking issues, kernel interfaces, cross-compilation, on-target performance
Make the system reliably boring: deterministic behavior where needed, clean failure modes, sharp interfaces other teams can build on
Ship code that runs on thousands of robots in homes and warehouses, not just prototypes in the lab
You Might Thrive In This Role If You:
Have 5+ years shipping production C++ in performance-critical systems (robotics, autonomous vehicles, HFT, game engines, OS/runtime, compilers, HPC)
Think in cycles, cache lines, and budgets—latency, memory, bandwidth, startup time—and design systems that stay within them under load
Be at home in a Unix/Linux environment, e.g. shells, GNU tools, Unix philosophy
Have shipped real-time systems where failure has physical consequences
Debug at the systems level with benchmarking, profiling, tracing, inspecting assembly code, and heavy use of linux kernel interfaces
Write code other engineers want to build on: clear interfaces, minimal dependencies, obvious correctness

Embedded Linux Engineer, Foundations
San Carlos, CA (on-site)
About the Role
NEO is a humanoid robot that walks into homes, learns from video, and works alongside people. You'll own the Linux foundation that makes this possible.
This is the layer between silicon and intelligence, where the system boots fast, stays stable, debugs cleanly, and updates confidently. You'll ship the production-grade embedded Linux stack end-to-end, from bring-up to fleet: BSP, kernel, drivers, distribution. The operating system is a product, not an afterthought.
In This Role, You Will:
Build and maintain a custom embedded Linux distribution (Yocto) for 1X hardware: BSP, rootfs, and toolchain with reproducible builds and release artifacts
Own kernel and driver development: device tree, board bring-up, peripheral enablement, performance tuning, upstream/downstream Linux patch strategy
Deliver production-quality system software: boot chain, init, services, logging, crash capture, and fast deterministic startup
Create tooling for provisioning, flashing, and over-the-air updates across a growing fleet, along with automated tests and hardware bring-up workflows
Take platform ownership from prototype to high-volume production, making reliability and optimization tradeoffs as hardware evolves
Build and improve CI/CD for embedded images, kernel builds, and validation
You Might Thrive In This Role If You:
Have 5+ years shipping embedded Linux systems in production
Have written production device drivers for common buses (I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, Ethernet, PCIe) and can read schematics to reason about hardware behavior from software symptoms
Have built with Yocto or Buildroot and hold strong opinions about build systems, release engineering, and test automation
Debug at the kernel level with confidence and trace software root causes
Are comfortable in high-ownership environments where you define the standard rather than inherit it
Benefits & Compensation
Salary Range: $155,000 – $250,000 + Equity
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and holidays

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor through safe, intelligent humanoids.
Your role is to challenge the current state of the art by building real systems—quickly, rigorously, and in constant contact with reality.
You ideate new mechanisms, architectures, and system concepts; turn them into working hardware; and subject them to relentless scrutiny. Prototypes are not presentations—they exist to answer concrete questions. You build to test ideas, invalidate assumptions, expose hidden constraints, and push performance as far as it will go. You don’t stop when something works—you stop when it approaches human-level behavior, or when you understand precisely why it doesn’t.
You move fluidly between mechanics, electronics, and software. You iterate fast, but with intent: each build is measured, benchmarked, and compared against biological or system-level reference targets. When something holds up, you push it harder. When it breaks, you learn from it and move on.
This role is fundamentally about execution. You will both originate ideas and bring others’ concepts to life—including ideas that are not yours. You don’t get stuck in theoretical debates or optimization-before-evidence; you prefer to build, test, and let the system speak.
Crucially, you don’t stop at clever prototypes. You do what it takes to translate successful concepts into something that can survive integration with real products, real constraints, and real manufacturing processes.
Research and critically evaluate state-of-the-art technologies across hardware, actuation, sensing, and system design, with a focus on what can realistically move humanoid performance forward.
Rapidly prototype promising concepts—your own and others’—using electronics, mechanics, and software to get to first hardware as quickly as possible.
Design experiments and test setups to rigorously evaluate performance, characterize limits, and generate trustworthy data.
Relentlessly benchmark and falsify prototypes against explicit performance targets.
Work closely with engineering, materials, and manufacturing teams to turn successful prototypes into credible paths toward product integration.

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor through safe, intelligent humanoids.
We strive for excellence in all we do, solving some of the hardest problems in robotics with the world’s most talented individuals. Every part of our robots is designed and produced in house, from motor coils to AI, reflecting our vertically integrated approach. At 1X, you will own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and be rewarded based on merit.
Our mission at 1X Labs is to provide the science and technology that enables human-level, general-purpose humanoids.
We are rigorous about identifying the gap between where humanoid performance is today and what human-level capability actually demands. From there, we go deep on fundamentals, take long but efficient and often non-obvious paths, develop new technologies, and carry those advances all the way into the product. We are uniquely positioned to make research outcomes into products with our focus and tight integration in materials, component design, systems engineering and manufacturing.
A humanoid is an unusually integrated system. Meaningful progress only emerges when sensing, actuation, materials, control, and intelligence advance together—each pushed close to its real limits. 1X Labs is built around people who have gone far enough in their own field to reason confidently at those limits, and who can engage seriously with neighboring domains because they understand which constraints truly matter.
You are deeply capable in your domain—enough that your intuition is shaped by years of work on hard, concrete problems. You don’t adopt interdisciplinarity as an identity; it’s a consequence of mastery and working on systems where no single discipline is sufficient.
You’re drawn to environments where technical depth is assumed, ideas are tested against reality, and research only counts if it ultimately ships.
Your responsibility is to help drive humanoid performance toward biological performance not by imitation, but by grounding engineering decisions in biological reference systems.
You define what human-level means in quantitative, engineering-relevant terms. This often requires moving beyond the metrics conventional robotics relies on today and introducing measures that better capture how biological systems generate force, absorb energy, sense contact, and adapt through interaction.
Your work focuses on distilling biological function into actionable specifications: limits, scaling laws, and performance envelopes that guide the design of materials, mechanisms, sensors, actuators, and control systems. In some cases this may inspire bionic solutions; more often, it means shaping technical systems so that despite different implementations their behavior converges toward biological performance.
For example, while we may not build actuators that function like biological muscle, we can define muscle-relevant performance targets—force density, bandwidth, compliance, efficiency, transient response—and drive motors, transmissions, and control systems toward those specs so the system behaves biologically at the task level. The same principle applies across domains: to soft tissue and artificial skin; to tactile sensing, where perception emerges from spatiotemporal structure rather than raw resolution; and to interaction and locomotion, where efficiency, stability, and grace are coupled properties rather than isolated objectives.
In practice, you will:
Go deep on biological systems: study them, model them, and experiment on them to understand what drives their performance.
Design and build experimental setups to characterize biological and bio-inspired systems under realistic conditions.
Translate biological behavior into quantitative specs that can be acted on by engineers.
Use those specs to influence the design of materials, mechanisms, sensors, actuators, and control architectures.
Work closely with teams across hardware, materials, and intelligence to ensure these insights survive contact with real systems and real constraints.
This role sits at the boundary between biology and engineering—and requires being fluent on both sides.

San Carlos, CA (on-site, remote)
About the Lab
The 1X World Model Lab is an embodied AI research organization focused on pretraining the foundation models to accelerate the emergence of embodied intelligence. As the lab grows, researchers contribute where they have the most leverage, and the problems worth solving span every layer of the stack.
The lab is founded on a simple thesis: robotics is not a fine-tuning problem. To build truly general humanoids, we need to pretrain on the most important data from the very beginning.
Your Charter
Advance NEO's intelligence by building the AI systems, infrastructure, and data engines that enable the robot to learn from experience and become increasingly capable in real-world environments.
The key pillars of AI are:
Model and Data
Build large multi-modal generative world models that learn from robot experience, spanning model architecture, tokenization, and large-scale training and data processing. Advance the robot's ability to predict, plan, and act in unstructured environments. Simply: good tokens in = good tokens out!
Data Infrastructure and Tooling
Design and operate the data engine that enables training on all visual and robot data. From web-scale media, to egocentric and synthetic data, and most importantly, on-policy NEO data, building large-scale data infrastructure that enables annotation and curation at scale, are crucial to scale up World Model training. Simply: more tokens in = more tokens out!
ML Infrastructure
Own the distributed training and inference systems that keep GPUs fully utilized. Increase the throughput during training, and speed of inference, to supercharge the model’s ability in the lab and in the world. Simply: more tokens seen = better tokens out!
Evaluations
Build the evaluation infrastructure that connects pre-training metrics to real-world robot performance: benchmarks, evals frameworks, model ranking systems, and the tooling that lets the team iterate on architectures with confidence that lab results predict what happens in the the real physical world. Simply: more tokens evaluated = better model performance!
Key Outcomes
Advance robot capabilities through research, scaling data pipelines, optimizing training and inference throughput, or building evaluations that make lab results predictive of field performance
Build infrastructure that multiplies team research velocity: pipelines that are faster, evaluations that are more predictive, training systems that are more efficient, or tooling that eliminates manual work across the lab
Ship research to production: own the path from experimental result to deploy capability on robot hardware, and measure impact by what NEO can do, not just what the model achieves on benchmarks
Contribute to a learning flywheel where more robot experience leads to better models, better models enable more capable robots, and more capable robots generate richer experience
Key Competencies
0 → 1 mentality excited to build systems from scratch that can efficiently ingest hundreds of millions of hours of videos, and excited to work through the tough and gritty aspects of engineering
Full-stack ML thinker understanding the path from raw robot data to trained model to deployed policy, and can identify and address bottlenecks at any layer of that stack: data quality, training efficiency, model architecture, or inference performance
Research depth plus engineering rigor conducting frontier research and builds systems others depend on; doesn't treat production engineering as someone else's job, and pushes work past promising training curves to deployed capabilities
Scale-first mindset believing scale is foundational to capable humanoid robotics; designs systems with 10x and 100x growth in mind, and actively pushes to remove whatever is currently the binding constraint on model improvement
Fast and high-agency contributor picking up new domains and codebases quickly, identifies the highest-leverage contribution, and makes meaningful progress without waiting for a detailed spec

Build the evaluation infrastructure that connects pre-training metrics to real-world robot performance: benchmarks, evals frameworks, model ranking systems, and the tooling that lets the team iterate on architectures with confidence that lab results predict what happens in the the real physical world. Simply: more tokens evaluated = better model performance!
Key Outcomes
Advance robot capabilities through research, scaling data pipelines, optimizing training and inference throughput, or building evaluations that make lab results predictive of field performance
Build infrastructure that multiplies team research velocity: pipelines that are faster, evaluations that are more predictive, training systems that are more efficient, or tooling that eliminates manual work across the lab
Ship research to production: own the path from experimental result to deploy capability on robot hardware, and measure impact by what NEO can do, not just what the model achieves on benchmarks
Contribute to a learning flywheel where more robot experience leads to better models, better models enable more capable robots, and more capable robots generate richer experience
Key Competencies
0 → 1 mentality excited to build systems from scratch that can efficiently ingest hundreds of millions of hours of videos, and excited to work through the tough and gritty aspects of engineering
Full-stack ML thinker understanding the path from raw robot data to trained model to deployed policy, and can identify and address bottlenecks at any layer of that stack: data quality, training efficiency, model architecture, or inference performance
Research depth plus engineering rigor conducting frontier research and builds systems others depend on; doesn't treat production engineering as someone else's job, and pushes work past promising training curves to deployed capabilities
Scale-first mindset believing scale is foundational to capable humanoid robotics; designs systems with 10x and 100x growth in mind, and actively pushes to remove whatever is currently the binding constraint on model improvement
Fast and high-agency contributor picking up new domains and codebases quickly, identifies the highest-leverage contribution, and makes meaningful progress without waiting for a detailed spec
Minimum Requirements
Strong Python and PyTorch (or equivalent deep learning framework), with experience in large-scale codebases and data tooling and visualization
Demonstrated experience in at least one area of the four pillars of AI: model and data, data infrastructure, ML infrastructure, or evaluation protocols
Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; graduate-level education or equivalent research experience strongly preferred
Track record of impact: published research, deployed production in modern AI systems, or infrastructure that measurably accelerated a team's work
Preferred Skills
Experience with distributed training frameworks (TorchTitan, DeepSpeed, FSDP/ZeRO) and/or large-scale data processing pipeline and ETL systems spanning on-device, on-premise, and cloud infrastructure
Experience with multi-modal generative models, world models, diffusion models, or autoregressive architectures
Experience with inference optimization techniques: quantization (PTQ, QAT, INT8/FP8), CUDA/Triton kernel development, or serving systems (TensorRT or equivalent)
