Develops human-like androids for enterprise operations
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.
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.
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.
Our Manufacturing team is the engine behind every prototype, iteration, and production part that brings NEO closer to homes. We sit at the intersection of design and reality - turning engineering intent into physical hardware with the speed and precision the mission demands. Without us, the robot doesn’t get built.
Create an abundant supply of physical labor by ensuring every machined part that goes into NEO is precise, manufacturable, and delivered fast. You’ll own the path from CAD file to finished part, enabling our engineers to iterate at the pace required to put safe, intelligent humanoids into the real world.
Own end-to-end CNC programming and operation for prototype and small-scale production parts, holding tight tolerances across 5-axis milling and mill-turn work
Deliver daily or next-day turnaround on engineering prototype parts without compromising quality
Drive measurable improvements in design for manufacturability by partnering directly with engineering on every part you touch
Maintain in-process inspection and quality standards that result in first-article acceptance on the parts you produce
Keep the shop running safely, cleanly, and reliably as we scale machining throughput
Deep fluency with advanced 5-axis and mill-turn CNC programming - you can take a complex part from CAD to finished good without hand-holding
Strong CAM expertise paired with sharp judgment on tooling, fixturing, and process planning
Genuine craftsmanship and attention to detail - you care that the part is right, not just that it’s done
Collaborative builder mindset - you push back on designs that aren’t manufacturable and offer real solutions
Bias toward speed without cutting corners on quality or safety
Proven hands-on experience programming and operating 5-axis and mill-turn CNC machines
Proficiency in a professional CAM system
Strong working knowledge of machining tolerances and in-process inspection techniques
Able to work full-time on-site in Hayward alongside a focused team
Experience in high-precision industries such as robotics, aerospace, or medical devices
Background supporting rapid prototyping environments where turnaround time matters as much as tolerance
Comfort working directly with design engineers to influence part geometry and reduce machining complexity
Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.

1X is an engineering and robotics company that builds android robots to augment human labor in real-world work settings. The company’s flagship product, EVE, can move through spaces, turn corners, and open doors, using shared autonomy to operate with human guidance as needed. The product relies on specialized actuator systems paired with artificial intelligence to perform tasks that humans would normally do, enabling enterprises to boost productivity and address labor shortages. 1X differentiates itself by commercializing enterprise-ready androids and targeting the US market, leveraging its unique actuator design and AI stack to enable smooth, human-like movements that can navigate real environments. The company’s goal is to provide reliable, scalable robotic helpers that can carry out a range of tasks autonomously or with partial human control, increasing operational efficiency for enterprise customers.
