About 1X
We’re 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 believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
We’re looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI. If this mission excites you, we’d be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.
Role Overview The AI Companion team creates the speech interface for NEO, as well as the physical awareness behaviors that evoke trust, warmth, and competence when NEO interacts with people.
As a Multimodal Speech Engineer on the AI Companion Team, you will lead the effort to create a conversational speech model, from design to data collection to deployment. You will develop real-time architectures that enable NEO to not only converse with users, but also incorporate other modalities like vision, spatial audio, and body language.
You will work closely with the design team to reflect NEO’s personality and 1X’s brand values in the way NEO speaks and responds to users, and the autonomy team to ensure that NEO’s speech models are aware of its own physical capabilities.
Responsibilities
Design and implement data pipelines for large-scale speech interactions from NEO data and external datasets
Train speech2speech models to be aware of NEO’s embodiment
Design appropriate responses for a variety of user queries
Synchronize speech with body language
Customize NEO with different personalities
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in speech and audio modeling domains
Experience in multi-modal conversational models (language, audio, vision) is a strong plus
Ability to take open-ended problems in conversation models, come up with creative solutions, implement proof-of-concepts, and translate those to production
Benefits & Compensation
Salary Range: $150,000 - $250,000
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and holidays
