About the job

About 1X

Founded in 2015, 1X is a pioneering company dedicated to innovating advanced humanoid robots for home use. Our vision is to revolutionize labor availability with safe and intelligent humanoids that enhance everyday living.

Position Overview

As a Hardware Systems Prototyping / Research Engineer within the 1X Labs team, your primary responsibility is to redefine the limits of technology by rapidly creating and refining tangible systems that operate under real-world constraints.

You will conceptualize and develop new mechanical systems and architectures, transforming ideas into functional hardware and rigorously testing them. Your prototypes will serve as tools to validate hypotheses, identify constraints, and maximize performance. The goal is not merely to achieve functionality but to approach human-level behavior or fully understand the limitations.

Your expertise spans mechanics, electronics, and software. You will iterate swiftly, with each prototype being meticulously measured, evaluated, and benchmarked against biological or system-level standards. Success means pushing the limits of what works, and failure is an opportunity to learn and advance.

This role is execution-driven; you will generate original ideas and develop concepts from others, favoring practical implementation over theoretical discussions. Prototyping is a means to let the system inform you, not a final destination.

Importantly, you will ensure the transition of successful prototypes into robust designs that can be seamlessly integrated with existing products, accommodating real-world constraints and production processes.

About 1X

1X is at the cutting edge of robotics, focusing on the development of humanoid robots that enhance household efficiency and provide intelligent solutions for everyday tasks. Join us in our mission to transform the way we think about labor and technology.
