Prototyping Technicians, Electronics

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 Prototyping Specialist to join our R&D team and provide Prototype as a Service for the entire R&D organization. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to build and test prototypes, accelerating innovation and reducing development cycles. You will leverage your expertise in electronics prototyping to bring ideas to life and help turn concepts into functional hardware systems.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Serve as the go-to resource for electronics prototyping within the R&D team, providing Prototype as a Service to accelerate development and testing.

• Design, assemble, and troubleshoot custom electronic prototypes, including PCB assemblies, wiring harnesses, sensors, actuators, and power systems.

• Collaborate with engineers across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines to ensure seamless integration of prototypes into robotic systems.

• Manage the electronics lab, maintaining tools, equipment, and inventory to ensure efficient operations.

• Perform rapid prototyping using tools like 3D printers, CNC machines, and soldering stations to create custom components and assemblies.

• Develop test setups and fixtures to validate prototypes under real-world conditions.

• Document the prototyping process, including schematics, assembly guides, and test procedures, to support future development and scalability.

• Identify opportunities to streamline prototyping workflows and introduce new tools or processes to enhance efficiency.

• Ensure that prototypes meet safety and reliability standards, particularly for electrical systems.
