Job Description:

As a Manufacturing Engineer at 1X, you will be a hands‑on technical leader responsible for taking components and assemblies for humanoid robots from prototype stage through volume production. You will design, optimize, and steward manufacturing processes to make them precise, repeatable, cost‑effective, and reliable under real‑world use.

Job Responsibility:

Develop and refine manufacturing processes for robotic mobility and control components such as actuators, drive units, precision components, motor housings, and skeletal structures
Oversee full manufacturing workflows including fixture design, CAM programming, selection of cutting tools, and inspection/validation methods
Deploy automation and lights‑out machining strategies to enable continuous production with minimal human intervention
Drive process improvements to reduce cycle time, increase first‑pass yield, and improve reliability of robot hardware
Collaborate with design engineering on part geometry, materials, and design changes to ensure manufacturability at every stage
Manage change releases and product design revisions into production, focusing on scalability and consistency
Act as technical liaison between design, machining, assembly, and quality teams for owned components
Support build technicians and operators, maintain work instructions and operating procedures in up‑to‑date state
Implement statistical process control (SPC) and quality monitoring practices, take ownership of part or part family quality metrics
Troubleshoot production issues such as tolerance stack‑ups, tool wear, misalignment, and assembly variability
Design efficient factory layouts, workflows, and test or subassembly stations optimized for speed and flexibility
Participate in new product introduction (NPI), managing prototype, validation units, and ramp‑up phases of production

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
Minimum of 2 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, especially involving precision mechanical or electromechanical assemblies
Experience with CAM programming, fixture/tooling design, precision machining of metals or composites
Strong understanding of design for manufacturability (DFM) and experience integrating electromechanical systems
Familiarity with measurement techniques and standards such as GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, CMM or other high‑precision inspection methods
Solid collaboration skills across engineering disciplines, supply chain, QA, and production teams
Experience producing robotic actuators, joints, or other motion control systems
Exposure to high‑mix, low‑volume environments with frequent design iteration
Knowledge or experience with lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, continuous improvement strategies
Proficiency with CAD tools, PLM/ERP systems, and manufacturing documentation

What we offer:

Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and holidays
