WHO THRIVES ON THE PROTOTYPING TEAM
The prototyping team moves fast, builds constantly, and figures things out without a playbook. People who do well here usually show these traits:
Own It – You take responsibility. If it’s broken or missing, fix it.
Move Fast – You make smart calls and iterate quickly instead of overanalyzing.
Be Resourceful – You figure things out when tools, time, or info are limited.
Learn & Improve – You absorb feedback, learn fast, and get better every week.
Build trust – You do what you say, communicate clearly, and follow through
If you know how to build and can figure things out quickly, that matters more to us than checking every box.

Develop and maintain production documentation including harness routing guides, tie-off specifications, assembly instructions, and test procedures
Define, implement, and enforce harness routing standards, tie-off locations, and termination requirements on every robot coming off the line
Own the process controls and inspection criteria that ensure every harness is assembled, routed, and secured to spec — every time
Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and process engineering teams to validate harness fit, routing paths, and mechanical clearances on the production floor
Work closely with supply chain and contract manufacturers to qualify suppliers, improve yield, reduce cost, and scale production
Support prototype builds, first article inspections, and manufacturing line bring-up through hands-on involvement
Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for harness-related defects found during assembly, integration, or field operation
Drive DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFS (Design for Serviceability) improvements across the harness portfolio

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
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a
related field
7+ years of industry experience with embedded systems and real-time firmware
development
Proficiency in C and C++ for embedded targets
Deterministic communication experience production-level work implementing,
debugging, or substantially modifying a real-time communication stack on embedded
hardware. The candidate should understand at a fundamental level how cyclic data
exchange, clock synchronization, and protocol state machines work, regardless of which
specific protocol was used.
Real-time embedded firmware in bare-metal or minimal-RTOS environments, with
direct management of interrupt priorities, DMA transfers, shared-memory coherency,
and timing-critical ISR execution
Embedded bus fluency hands-on experience with CAN/CANopen plus additional
embedded interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485), demonstrating breadth across
communication domains
Hardware debug at the firmware boundary experience using oscilloscopes, logic
analyzers, and packet capture tools to diagnose problems that span firmware behavior
and electrical signaling
Schematic literacy ability to read transceiver circuits, PHY interfaces, signal-level
translation, and power sequencing without requiring hardware engineering interpretation
Firmware update bootloader experience — design or maintenance of a production
firmware update mechanism with integrity verification and rollback capability
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 unfamiliar problems
by building understanding from fundamentals rather than relying solely on vendor
documentation or established patterns. Many problems in this role do not have reference
implementations.
Safety-critical or fault-tolerant firmware experience developing firmware where
failure has physical consequences, in automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, or
defense applications. Familiarity with safety integrity concepts (SIL, ASIL, DAL) and
standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or DO-178C.
Safety-over-network protocols — implementation of any protocol that carries safety
commands over a communication bus using black channel principles
Autonomous or mobile robotic systems communication architectures in systems
that move, where cabling is subject to mechanical stress and network topology must
account for physical constraints

Role Overview
We are looking for a cross-functional Firmware or Embedded Engineer to develop and maintain
the battery management firmware for a production humanoid robot. In this role, you will own the

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 battery system in a humanoid robot operates unlike most conventional applications. Load
transients are severe and unpredictable peak currents can cause significant bus voltage sag
within milliseconds as actuators respond to real-time control policies. The pack must sustain
continuous cycling in uncontrolled thermal environments while maintaining cell-level safety and
accurate state estimation. There are no established BMS reference designs for this load profile.
The ideal candidate reasons from electrochemistry and circuit fundamentals, builds reliable
firmware for safety-critical systems, and is comfortable developing novel solutions where
existing vendor toolchains and application notes fall short.
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain BMS firmware including cell voltage monitoring, current
measurement, temperature sensing, and protection enforcement across a multi-series
lithium-ion pack
Implement state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimation algorithms that
remain accurate under high-rate transient loads, temperature variation, and cell aging
Architect cell balancing firmware (passive and/or active) that manages cell-to-cell
divergence during both operation and charging, accounting for the wide SOC excursions
typical of this application
Responsible for the testing, validation, and verification of initial firmware releases to
ensure functionality, reliability, and performance requirements are met
Implement pack-level protection logic: overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage,
overtemperature, and short-circuit detection with deterministic response times and safe-
state transitions
Design brownout prediction and mitigation firmware characterize and manage bus
voltage sag under peak actuator loading to prevent cascading subsystem failures
Develop CAN/CANopen interface firmware for real-time reporting of pack state to the
central controller, supporting both cyclic status data and diagnostic/configuration
messaging
Collaborate with hardware architects to define BMS hardware requirements, sense
circuit topology, and protection coordination between firmware and hardware safety
mechanisms
Implement pre-charge sequencing, power-on/power-off state machines, and
coordination with the system-level power distribution architecture
Develop production test hooks and end-of-line validation routines for battery pack
acceptance, including cell matching verification and impedance measurement
Document firmware architecture, interfaces, and assumptions; improve code structure,
readability, and maintainability

We’re an AI and robotics company based in San Carlos, California, on a mission to build a truly
abundant society through general‑purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work
autonomously.
We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live
and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to
integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
We’re looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of
robotics and AI. If this mission excites you, we’d be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you
might contribute to our journey.
Role Overview
We are looking for a cross-functional Firmware or Embedded Engineer to develop and maintain
the firmware for the battery charging system of a production humanoid robot. In this role, you
will own the embedded software that controls AC-DC power conversion, charge profile
management, and the interface between the charger and the battery management system.
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 charger is a consumer-facing subsystem that must meet regulatory emissions
requirements, operate safely in household environments, and manage the charge cycle for a
high-energy lithium-ion pack that experiences demanding discharge profiles between charges.
Charging behavior directly affects battery longevity, system availability, and user safety. The
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,
readability, and maintainability
Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a
related field
7+ years of industry experience with embedded systems and real-time firmware
development
Proficiency in C and C++ for embedded targets
Production charger or power converter firmware experience the candidate has
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)

We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance. Our NEO humanoid is moving from prototype to scaled production — and the transition requires hands-on builders who think like engineers, move like operators, and debug like owners.
The Role
As an NPI Engineering Technician, you are not just assembling parts — you are accelerating the path from prototype to production.
You are a high-judgment, high-ownership, hands-on contributor who:
• Feels when a system is \"off\"
• Spots tolerance stack issues before they compound
• Diagnoses electrical gremlins from experience
• Moves fast without cutting corners
You will work side-by-side with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to build, test, iterate, and validate hardware as designs evolve. Your pattern recognition, practical intuition, and bias toward safe experimentation directly shape product quality and build velocity.
This role is ideal for a strong electromechanical builder — someone who may not hold an engineering degree but operates with engineering-level system awareness.

We’re an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general-purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.
We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
We’re looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI. If this mission excites you, we’d be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.
Role Overview
As a Mechanical Engineer – Foot Sensing, you will push the boundaries of force and tactile sensing in humanoid robotics by designing the next generation of robotic feet. You’ll lead the mechanical design and integration of force-sensing systems that operate at the edge of performance, reliability, and manufacturability—ensuring robust transduction across real-world environments and long lifecycles.
Responsibilities
Build a strong working understanding of common force-sensing approaches (resistive, strain-gauge, capacitive, inductive, Hall, optical, etc.) and package and implement them for reliable transduction.
Translate mechanical design choices into sensor performance outcomes, including dynamic range, resolution, crosstalk, robustness, spatial/temporal response, and long-term stability.
Partner closely with electrical, materials, structures, AI, software, soft goods, and industrial design teams to define mechanical stack-ups and integration details (e.g., foot stack-up, interfaces, sealing, assembly, and communications).
Characterize, tune, and validate sensor sensitivity across environments and use cases; document limitations, drift mechanisms, and common failure modes.
Design, execute, and analyze reliability and lifecycle test plans (e.g., fatigue, wear, environmental exposure, ingress, abuse) to validate sensor and system performance over time and inform design improvements.
Design sensor and housing features for precision, repeatability, durability, and manufacturability from early prototypes through production builds.
Understand contact mechanics and load paths through interfaces; use analysis and simulation when helpful to guide design decisions and de-risk unknowns.
Select materials and finishes that meet performance, reliability, and production constraints from proof-of-concept through vendor handoff.
Rapidly prototype and iterate—build parts, fixtures, and jigs, and develop practical test methods using hands-on fabrication (machining, casting, etc.) to validate designs.
You Will
Plan, release, and maintain production schedules to meet manufacturing targets and deadlines
Monitor production workflows and material flow on the production floor to ensure alignment with plans
Coordinate with manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, and quality teams to resolve scheduling or material constraints
Track production progress and identify risks or bottlenecks impacting output
Use ERP/MRP systems to manage work orders, inventory status, and production data
Communicate schedule changes, priorities, and issues clearly to stakeholders
Support continuous improvement initiatives related to planning, scheduling, and workflow efficiency
Must Have
Experience in production planning, scheduling, or production control within a manufacturing environment
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Excellent communication skills and the ability to coordinate across departments
Proven problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to resolving production issues
Fluency in ERP/MRP systems for production scheduling and material management
Ability to work on-site in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

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.
No company, no research institute has ever managed to build a robot hand that comes anywhere close to human level dexterity. We invite you to be part of making this breakthrough happen.

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.
No company, no research institute has ever managed to build a robot hand that comes anywhere close to human level dexterity. We invite you to be part of making this breakthrough happen.

Strong hands-on background in hardware systems, demonstrated through work experience, projects, or prior roles.
A lifelong tinkerer: you’ve been building, modifying, and breaking physical systems long before it was your job.
Several years of experience doing innovative, hands-on work in industry, a startup, or a research lab.
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 are proficient at:
Designing and assembling PCBs appropriate for rapid prototyping.
CADing and fabricating mechanical parts for fast iteration.
Operating mills and lathes.
Debugging electronics with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
Writing low-level driver, control, and test software.
Modeling system behavior well enough to guide design decisions.
Designing experiments and analyzing results against concrete requirements.
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.
About 1X
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.
No humanoid built to date comes anywhere close to human level elegance, efficiency, dexterity, or general task performance. We invite you to being part of making this breakthrough happen.

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.
