Senior Production Automation Engineer

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 Senior Production Automation Engineer. This role involves full ownership of software-driven production tooling, requiring a proactive approach to address production needs effectively. You will develop tools to streamline and automate Android production processes, focusing on scalable infrastructure for robotic testing and configuration. Ideal candidates are adaptable and solution-focused, with additional experience in backend development, front-end testing interfaces, and remote monitoring.

Why this job is exciting

• Directly observe the impact of your work as robots are produced and tested at scale, with your tools driving efficiency and precision in real-time production environments.

• Drive impactful projects in a dynamic environment, where you can focus on hands-on problem-solving and innovation.

• See the results of your work deployed globally, where humanoid robots perform real-world tasks in diverse environments, making a tangible impact.

• Collaborate with a team of world-class roboticists, engineers and production team to push the boundaries of robotics and technology.
  

Responsibilities

• Design and develop tools to streamline, semi-automate, and fully automate manual processes in Android production, enhancing efficiency and consistency.

• Build scalable tools and infrastructure to support large-scale robotic testing and configuration, including intuitive front-end interfaces for monitoring and control.

• Lead the software aspects of production tooling, taking full ownership of development, deployment, and maintenance.

• Embrace diverse responsibilities and tackle varied tasks as needed, bringing a proactive, can-do attitude to high-demand situations.
