About the role
- The Hands Manufacturing group transforms visionary engineering into scalable, highly reliable hardware.
- We are architecting the foundational processes and complex systems for the planet's most sophisticated humanoid hands and authoring the production playbook as we go.
- Our team operates with extreme velocity, a relentless focus on detail, and zero ego.
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
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years with a Bachelor's or 3+ years with a Master's degree.
- Hands-on experience with PCBAs, wire harnesses, mechanical assembly, hardware bring-up, and functional/end-of-line testing.
- Proficiency with electrical debug tools, CAD/drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and statistical process qualification methods.
- Experience scaling a low volume, high mix process into repeatable higher volume production using lean manufacturing, line balancing, and automation.
Nice to have
- Preferred Skills:
Skills
- Experience with PCBA manufacturing processes such as SMT, reflow, conformal coating, potting, and rework.
- Experience with wire harness manufacturing, including crimping, soldering, overmolding, and continuity or hipot test.
- What does a successful 1X Team Member look like:
- They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask.
Compensation
- $148,000 - $181,000

- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
Company info
- By partnering deeply with cross-functional peers, we dismantle ambiguity to make the impossible a tangible reality.
- Your Charter:
- Build the manufacturing systems that bring 1X robots to scale.
- You will own critical processes from prototype through production, developing robust machining, assembly, inspection, and validation methods that improve quality, throughput, and repeatability.
- Many of these problems have not been solved before.
- You will question convention, test ideas quickly, learn from the floor, and turn what works into dependable production systems.
- The standard is high, the feedback is physical, and no one is above picking up a tool.
- Your work will directly shape the production readiness, hardware quality, and long-term scalability of 1X robotic systems.
- Key Outcomes:
- Own electromechanical manufacturing processes from prototype through production ramp, including PCBAs, harnesses, sensors, actuators, and integration.
- Develop and validate functional and end-of-line test systems, including test coverage, limits, instrumentation, and data capture.
