Job Description:

About 1X: 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 through 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 will own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and be rewarded based on merit. Neo is already an incredible piece of engineering - a humanoid built to be around humans like no other. But this is not where we stop. The NEXT team at 1X pushes the boundaries of core technologies - actuation, drive train, structure, and sensing - building an incredibly capable body for embodied AGI. The team is led by the former creator of Kind Humanoid. The effort is backed up by state of the art materials and prototyping facilities run by top PhD scientists and engineers. Your role - Hardware Systems Prototyping, Research - will be: challenge the state of the art; ideate, create concepts, invent solutions; turn those into highly functional prototypes; relentlessly scrutinize, test, benchmark and falsify your builds; iterate fast on your prototypes; then do what it takes to integrate your development into product.

Job Responsibility:

  • research state of the art technologies and critically evaluate their application to humanoids
  • for technologies that look promising, rapidly get to first prototype using electronics and mechanics and coding prototyping methods
  • critically evaluate prototypes for performance and build a battery of experimental findings
  • collaborate with engineering, materials and manufacturing teams to develop strategies on how new technologies can be integrated into product

Requirements:

  • PhD or Masters in experimental physics, EE, ME or equivalent
  • 2 years of innovative work in industry or co-founded startup
  • a portfolio of side projects that goes way beyond slapping an arduino on a 3d printed part
  • If I give you 4 motors, a battery, an MCU and an IMU, an aluminum block and access to soldering iron and mill, you can get it to fly within a day
  • You are proficient at: design mid complex PCBs, CAD up parts for 3d printing, operate mill and lathe, debug electronics with scope, write driver software, solve differential equations, run rigorous test analysis against product requirements

Nice to have:

  • Bio mechanics and cognitive science
  • Your hacks are elegant
