Robot Operators Lead
Targeted start date: Immediately.
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 via 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’ll own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and rewarded based on merit.
We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.
As we scale from research and development to full-scale manufacturing, we are looking for a Robot Operators Lead to guide and support the team of Robot Operators during each shift, ensuring efficient workflows and constant data collection. The Robot Operators Lead plays a critical role in the success of each shift, acting as the go-to person for Robot Operators and ensuring smooth operations.

Support operational goals by identifying and suggesting process improvements to the Robot Operators Supervisor.
Adhere to and enforce safety and operational standards to ensure a secure work environment for all team members.
Flexibility to work various shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays, as required.
