Sr. Manufacturing Technician
Target start date: Immediately. Relocation provided.
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.
As a Sr. Manufacturing Technician on the 1X team, you will build robots, improve processes, and provide feedback to cross-functional engineering teams. You will support and coordinate daily technical activities in our prototyping and pilot manufacturing environments. You will help validate new designs for manufacturability, support new product launches, and ensure operational continuity in prototype work cells. This role plays a key part in optimizing manufacturing efficiency from early-stage builds through initial production ramp.
