1X is bringing robots out of factories and into the human world. We have cracked the code and engineered a safe, capable, and affordable solution (named EVE) that will be deployed in the immediate future to security, retail, and the food-packaging markets. Backed by Type One Ventures.
About the role
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.
What they're looking for
- Deep experience in robotics safety and AI-enabled robotic systems
- Strong background in robot design, system architecture, controls, actuation, sensing, and complex electromechanical behavior
- Demonstrated track record of safety innovation - novel technical solutions to meaningful robot hazards
- Experience designing safety cases, safety validation strategies, and safety test plans for complex robotic or autonomous systems
- Experience applying functional safety methods in service of product-specific risk reduction, not compliance alone
- Experience with humanoid robots, mobile robots, or other systems operating in close proximity to people
More about this role
We’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.

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.
The Autonomy & Safety Engineering team is responsible for ensuring 1X robots operate safely, reliably, and predictably in real-world human environments. We work at the intersection of robotics,...
