Senior Robotics Software Engineer
Targeted start date: Immediately.
1X designs androids built to benefit society. Since 2014, we’ve been building androids with the product design mindset of safety first, balanced performance, and smart behavior. Our mission is to build androids that work alongside people to meet the world’s labor demand and build an abundant society. Our wheeled model, EVE, is engineered to work with you, from guarding to logistics, and our bipedal model, NEO, is designed to become a general-purpose android, with a broad deployment in various applications, and, eventually, assisted living.
Founded in Moss, Norway, 1X has grown into an international team with offices around the globe. 1X envisions a bright new future: humans and androids, working and learning, Side by Side.
Safe, robust and efficient locomotion lies at the core of enabling humanoid robots to interact with the world. As a Robotics Software Engineer at 1X Technologies, you will develop real-time software systems that enable efficient, robust, and safe robot locomotion for a wide range of behaviors and environments. Every day, you will work with other software and controls engineers to conceptualize, implement and test the algorithms and tools needed to reach this goal. We believe that if it doesn’t work on a robot, it doesn’t work - so get ready to be hands-on with our state of the art hardware. To thrive in this role, you must have strong analytical skills, a burning desire for action and progress, and be motivated to make a positive impact in the world of robotics.
