About the role

  • Infrastructure plays a critical role in accelerating execution by delivering world-class workplaces, infrastructure, and operational readiness that allow engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to move faster and scale smarter.
  • This team ensures our manufacturing sites, labs, warehouses, and workplaces are safe, reliable, and operationally excellent environments where engineering, production, and business teams can move with speed and focus.
  • As 1X rapidly scales, Facilities sits directly on the company's critical path by enabling operational readiness, infrastructure scalability, and execution velocity across every site.

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.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in physical security, including experience leading security operations across multiple sites or complex environments.
  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • Strong communication, judgment, and de-escalation skills with the ability to operate effectively in highly dynamic environments.

Skills

  • Experience in robotics, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, defense, or other high-consequence industries.
  • Experience supporting environments with sensitive R&D, prototypes, or intellectual property protection requirements.
  • Familiarity with crisis management, business continuity, executive protection, or emergency response planning.
  • CPP, PSP, or similar security certifications.

Compensation

  • $220,000 - $275,000

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

  • Build and lead a security program across our San Carlos and Hayward sites that keeps people safe, protects critical work, and supports fast-moving day-to-day operations without slowing teams down.
  • Create a high-standard on-site security operation with strong coverage, clear escalation paths, and consistent real-time response across incidents, investigations, visitors, and workplace safety situations.
  • Develop and lead a security team that is trusted, operationally sharp, calm under pressure, and capable of handling sensitive situations with professionalism and sound judgment.
  • Partner closely with Facilities, Manufacturing, IT, Legal, and People teams to identify operational risks early, improve site readiness, and strengthen overall workplace safety and resilience.
  • Build scalable security processes, reporting, and emergency response programs that improve visibility, decision-making, and operational readiness as 1X continues to grow.
  • Strong operator with experience leading physical security in manufacturing, hardware, robotics, industrial, or other high-risk operational environments.
  • Calm, credible leader who can make fast decisions during active incidents, workplace escalations, emergencies, or other high-pressure situations.
  • Proven ability to build security programs, improve operational rigor, and raise standards across people, processes, systems, and site readiness.
  • Strong cross-functional partner who can work effectively with Facilities, Manufacturing, IT, Legal, People, and executive leadership teams.
  • Hands-on leader who is comfortable being deeply involved in day-to-day site operations while also building long-term strategy and scalable infrastructure.
