Staff Mechanical Engineer

About 1X We're an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general-purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.

We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us.

That's why we're focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.

We're looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI.

If this mission excites you, we'd be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.

Role Overview We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design, development, and scaling of critical hardware systems for our humanoid robot, NEO.

In this role, you will own mechanical components and assemblies throughout their lifecycle-from concept and prototyping to validation and mass production.

You will apply advanced engineering analysis, collaborate across disciplines, and ensure our designs are manufacturable at scale.

Your work will directly influence the reliability, safety, and scalability of humanoid robots deployed worldwide.
