Materials Lab 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 be rewarded based on merit.

We are seeking a Materials Lab Engineer with a passion for polymers, textiles, chemistry, or chemical engineering to join our team. This role is ideal for an inventive, hands-on researcher eager to take innovative material concepts from the lab bench to real-world applications in humanoid robots. 

You will help pioneer new material formulations from identifying cutting-edge raw materials to creating processes that yield unique performance characteristics. You will collaborate closely with senior researchers in materials science, physics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and industrial design to develop materials that enable safe, dexterous humanoid robots manufactured at high volumes.
