CNC Programmer
About The Position
1X is building humanoid robots for use in homes. The Manufacturing team turns engineering designs into physical hardware, supporting prototypes, iterations, and production parts for NEO. The CNC Programmer will own the path from CAD file to finished part, ensuring machined components are precise, manufacturable, and delivered quickly. The role covers end-to-end CNC programming and operation for prototype and small-scale production parts, including 5-axis milling and mill-turn work. The successful candidate will deliver rapid engineering prototypes while maintaining tight tolerances, quality, and shop safety. This is a full-time, on-site role in Hayward.
Requirements
- Proven hands-on experience programming and operating 5-axis and mill-turn CNC machines.
- Proficiency in a professional CAM system.
- Strong working knowledge of machining tolerances and in-process inspection techniques.
- Ability to work full-time on-site in Hayward.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in high-precision industries such as robotics, aerospace, or medical devices.
- Experience supporting rapid prototyping environments where turnaround time matters as much as tolerance.
- Comfort working directly with design engineers to influence part geometry and reduce machining complexity.
Responsibilities
- Program and operate CNC machines end to end for prototype and small-scale production parts.
- Produce parts using 5-axis milling and mill-turn processes while holding tight tolerances.
- Deliver engineering prototype parts on a daily or next-day turnaround without compromising quality.
- Partner directly with engineering to improve design for manufacturability and influence part geometry.
- Perform in-process inspection and maintain quality standards that support first-article acceptance.
- Maintain a safe, clean, and reliable shop as machining throughput scales.
