Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer

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.

We strive for excellence in all we do, solving some of the hardest problems in robotics with the world’s most talented individuals. Every part of our robots is designed and produced in-house—from motor coils to AI—reflecting our vertically integrated approach. At 1X, you’ll own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and rewarded based on merit.

We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.

Why this job is exciting!

  • Own and develop end-to-end testing solutions for the Neo humanoid assembly line
  • Collaborate across firmware, hardware, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust testing infrastructure
  • In time, your test software will support high-volume production of intelligent humanoids


Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement manufacturing test coverage for the Neo assembly line
  • Collaborate with firmware and hardware teams to define test coverage, metrics, and APIs
  • Design and develop manufacturing test software for connectivity, functionality, and system-level self-tests
  • Debug and root-cause issues related to manufacturing testing
  • Build scalable, reliable test software for high-volume production, leveraging cloud tools to reduce downtime and cost
  • Log, store, and analyze test data to inform design improvements
  • Drive Design-for-Test (DFT) requirements through early engagement with cross-functional teams
  • Work with internal and external partners on tester design and validation

Must-Haves:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Experience with high-volume manufacturing testing of actuators, sensors, electronics, or related electromechanical hardware
  • Proficiency with test frameworks such as OpenHTF, pytest, or Robot Framework
  • Fluency in Golang, Python, and JavaScript
  • Familiarity with Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS)
  • Experience working with Linux OS and Docker
  • Knowledge of communication protocols like CAN and EtherCAT
  • Experience with SQL (e.g., MySQL, Microsoft SQL), NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB, Elasticsearch), and column-store databases (e.g., ClickHouse)
  • Understanding of query optimization and data analysis
  • Familiarity with data pipeline and visualization tools such as Telegraf, Kafka, and Grafana
