About the role

Target start date: immediately. 

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids. At 1X, you’ll own critical roles and have agency to innovate and improve in any and all talent processes and be rewarded based on merit and achievement.

We are looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter, specialised in Manufacturing, Production and Supply Chain teams. In this role, you will do full cycle recruitment, working closely with the VP of Manufacturing and Supply Chain leaders, on finding and attracting the most exceptional candidates to join a category defining team.

Please only submit your application for one job posting at a time on the Talent  team. We will consider your application for all roles.

  • Supply chain, operations or manufacturing background or education.

  • Experience with employer branding or talent marketing in deep tech spaces.

Location Policy
