About 1XWe're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not.To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here.
We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We're not demoing it - we're shipping it. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you.If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment.
We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.Your CharterDesign and deliver the electrical systems that enable humanoid robots to move, sense, and operate reliably in the real world.You will own critical electrical subsystems from architecture through production, balancing performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Working across robotics hardware platforms, you will develop robust electrical designs that integrate seamlessly with firmware, controls, and mechanical systems while supporting rapid product iteration and long-term scalability.Your work will directly impact robot performance, reliability, and manufacturability across the product lifecycle.Key OutcomesDesign and release electrical subsystems that meet performance, reliability, safety, and manufacturing requirementsDevelop robust electrical architectures spanning power, sensing, control, and embedded electronicsDeliver validated hardware designs from concept through schematic capture, PCB development, bring-up, and production supportImprove product reliability through strong EMI/ESD design practices, validation testing, and root-cause analysisPartner effectively with firmware, controls, manufacturing, and test teams to resolve complex system-level challengesKey CompetenciesStrong electrical engineering fundamentals across analog, digital, and embedded electronics designAbility to balance system-level architecture decisions with detailed hardware implementationStrong hands-on debugging and validation skills using laboratory instrumentationExcellent problem-solving skills with the ability to independently drive complex technical issues to resolutionStrong communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary engineering teamsMinimum RequirementsBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience, with level determined based on experience and scope of ownershipStrong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit designExperience designing, reviewing, debugging, and validating hardware from schematic through PCB bring-upFamiliarity with power systems, sensors, and embedded electronicsHands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other laboratory equipmentUnderstanding of EMI/ESD considerations and robust hardware design practicesExperience collaborating closely with mechanical, firmware, controls, test, and manufacturing teamsPreferred SkillsExperience designing motor drive systems, power electronics, and actuator control hardwareFamiliarity with robotic actuators, electromechanical systems, and motion control architecturesUnderstanding of motor technologies, encoder systems, current sensing, and control requirementsExperience with high-power or high-current electronicsExperience supporting products through manufacturing ramp and volume productionFamiliarity with safety-critical, fault-tolerant, or high-reliability electronic systemsKnowledge of thermal design considerations and fault management architecturesBasic familiarity with mechanical CAD workflows and hardware integration processesCompensation Range$125,100 - $253,000 + EquityBenefitsComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverageGenerous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave401(k) plan with company match (100% on the first 3% of contributions, 50% on the next 2%)Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) optionsCommuter benefits (transit and parking)Short-term and long-term disability, and life insuranceEmployee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal supportOnsite snacks and catered lunchesEqual Opportunity Employer1X is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
