Location: San Carlos / Hayward CA (on-site)

About 1X

We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance. Our NEO humanoid is moving from prototype to scaled production — and the transition requires hands-on builders who think like engineers, move like operators, and debug like owners.

The Role

As an NPI Engineering Technician, you are not just assembling parts — you are accelerating the path from prototype to production.

You are a high-judgment, high-ownership, hands-on contributor who:

•     Feels when a system is "off"

•     Spots tolerance stack issues before they compound

•     Diagnoses electrical gremlins from experience

•     Moves fast without cutting corners

You will work side-by-side with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to build, test, iterate, and validate hardware as designs evolve. Your pattern recognition, practical intuition, and bias toward safe experimentation directly shape product quality and build velocity.

This role is ideal for a strong electromechanical builder — someone who may not hold an engineering degree but operates with engineering-level system awareness.
