Overview
Senior Mechanical Engineer role at 1X. 1X is an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general-purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously. We’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life. Role Overview
We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the design and development of critical systems for our humanoid robot, NEO. In this role, you’ll design and validate high-performance robotic joints, transmissions, and sensor-integrated assemblies, ensuring that they are optimized for both performance and manufacturability. Your work will directly impact the scalability of humanoid robots from R&D into full-scale production and deployment across homes and industries worldwide. Responsibilities
Design, prototype, and validate electromechanical systems for humanoid robots Integrate electronics, sensors, and cabling into compact, multi-DoF joint packages Optimize assemblies for weight, reliability, manufacturability, and cost efficiency Perform structural FEA simulations to validate robust designs Produce high-quality CAD models, drawings, and specifications for manufacturing partners Author design documentation including requirements, specifications, and test plans Requirements
Bachelor’s or higher degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred) Experience performing structural FEA simulations Strong understanding of manufacturing methods for mid- to high-volume production Proven experience taking complex mechanical systems from concept through production Bonus: Experience with DFM for casting or forging processes Bonus: Background in robotics system design, kinematics, or dynamics Bonus: Familiarity with FMEA for design validation Bonus: Experience developing multi-DoF mechatronic systems Bonus: Exposure to PCB design workflows Benefits & Compensation
