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

You’ll be part of the robot diagnostics and service org, supporting electrical engineering requests to help fix robots and work with hardware and diagnostics teams to ensure issues are translated into design fixes. Specifically, you’ll be responsible for PCB re-work, assembly, and testing parts used in our humanoid robots. This is a hands-on, in-person role based in Palo Alto. High performers in this role have the opportunity to advance into electrical engineering positions.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Re-work PCBs

• Assemble custom PCBs

• Fine-pitch soldering

• Perform functional testing

• Wire harness re-work and assembly

• Create documentation on rework, assembly processes 

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in electrical engineering or related industries (i.e. electronics repair)

• Experience with fine pitch hand soldering

• Experience hand crimping

• Comfortable doing physical work - setup, assembly, post-processing

• Able to work on-site in Palo Alto

• Clear and timely communication with engineers

NICE TO HAVE

• Worked on robotics, mechatronics, or general hardware projects

• Create and edit CAD models for printing or milling

• Basic CAD skills (SolidWorks, Onshape, etc.)

If you know how to build and can figure things out quickly, that matters more to us than checking every box.
