About the role
- Your work will directly impact production readiness, hardware quality, manufacturing efficiency, and the long-term scalability of 1X robotic systems.
- Improve cycle time, first-pass yield, and process reliability through structured continuous improvement initiatives
- Strong manufacturing engineering fundamentals across machining, assembly, tooling, inspection, and process development
Responsibilities
- We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back.
- NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.
- 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.
- Build the manufacturing systems that enable humanoid robots to scale.
- You will own manufacturing processes for critical robotic components and assemblies, taking products from prototype through production.
- Develop and release manufacturing processes that consistently deliver high-quality robotic components and assemblies at scale
- Design and deploy fixtures, tooling, CAM programs, inspection methods, and automation solutions that increase manufacturing efficiency
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience supporting precision mechanical or electromechanical products
- Experience with CAM programming, fixture design, tooling development, and precision machining processes
- Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and production process development
- Experience integrating electromechanical assemblies into production environments
- Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, CMM inspection, and precision measurement techniques
- Proficiency with CAD tools, PLM systems, ERP systems, and manufacturing documentation workflows
Skills
- Experience manufacturing robotic actuators, joints, motion-control systems, or other precision electromechanical products
- Familiarity with automation, lights-out machining, or advanced manufacturing technologies
- Experience applying Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or structured continuous improvement methodologies
- Strong analytical skills with experience applying SPC, quality systems, and root-cause methodologies
- Strong collaboration and communication skills across engineering, quality, operations, and supply chain teams
Compensation
- $105,000 - $220,000 + Equity
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
- Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
- Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support
Company info
- Successfully support NPI programs from prototype builds through production ramp while maintaining manufacturing readiness
- Establish and maintain process controls, quality metrics, and documentation that ensure repeatable production performance
- Deep understanding of DFM, production scaling, and manufacturing problem-solving
- Hands-on engineering mindset with the ability to move effectively between the factory floor and technical design discussions
- 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.
