Internship - Manufacturing Engineering (Fall)

1X•San Carlos, CA

19h•Onsite

About The Position

1X is building humanoid robots designed to perform household chores and tasks, aiming to give people back their time. This endeavor requires solving complex challenges in robotics, AI, and manufacturing simultaneously, at scale, and in a safe form factor for home environments. The company has been developing these robots since 2014 and is now focused on shipping its flagship product, NEO, a home robot designed for real-world operation alongside people. The company is scaling and hiring intentionally, seeking individuals inspired by the mission to change how humans spend their time by creating abundance safely for all.

Requirements

Hands-on experience in manufacturing or mechanical engineering.
Basic CAD skills (SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar).
Comfortable doing physical work, including setup, assembly, and post-processing.
Currently studying engineering or a related field.

Nice To Haves

Prior work on manufacturing processes, fixturing, robotics, mechatronics, or general hardware projects.
Exposure to design for manufacturability, process validation, or production scale-up.

Responsibilities

Develop and document repeatable manufacturing and assembly processes for prototype and pre-production parts that others can run reliably.
Build and improve fixtures, jigs, and workflows that reduce build time, scrap, and rework on the line.
Own process validation and durability testing for the parts and assemblies supported, surfacing failure modes early and driving fixes.
Produce and maintain accurate CAD and process documentation so parts and methods can be reproduced reliably across the team.
Partner with design and engineering on the next robot revision to drive design-for-manufacturability improvements before parts hit the floor.
