Production Supervisor, Hands

1X Technologies ASSan Carlos, CA
$90,000 - $120,000Onsite

About The Position

We’re building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. This role sits squarely on 1X’s critical path: without a production floor that runs with discipline and care, we don’t ship. The Manufacturing team is where NEO becomes real. Every robot that ships to a home passes through our floor, and the standard we set here — in safety, quality, and pace — is the standard our customers feel when NEO walks into their living room. We are the bridge between an engineering breakthrough and a product that earns trust in the real world.

Requirements

  • 3+ years directly supervising production or manufacturing teams in a hands-on, on-floor capacity.
  • Demonstrated track record of hitting production targets while maintaining quality and safety standards.
  • Working fluency in production planning, quality systems, and safety practices (e.g., standard work, defect tracking, lockout/tagout, PPE compliance).
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment where the process you ran last quarter may not be the process you run next quarter.
  • Available to work on-site in Hayward or San Carlos, on a day or swing shift.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience in low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing — robotics, aerospace, medical devices, EVs, or advanced electromechanical assembly.
  • Hands-on experience with lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or other structured continuous-improvement methodologies.
  • Experience launching a new product line or ramping a new process from pilot to production.
  • Familiarity with MES, ERP, or production tracking systems.
  • Experience training and developing technicians, including building cross-training and skills matrices.

Responsibilities

  • Hit daily and weekly NEO build targets without compromising on safety or quality, and own the metrics that prove it (throughput, yield, first-pass quality, on-time completion).
  • Build and lead a production team that is trained, accountable, and engaged — measured by retention, cross-training coverage, and team-level performance against plan.
  • Drive defect rates and rework down quarter over quarter through root-cause problem solving, process control, and tight feedback loops with Quality and Engineering.
  • Own floor safety as a non-negotiable — zero preventable incidents, full compliance with safety protocols, and a culture where the team raises issues early.
  • Surface and lead at least one meaningful process improvement per quarter — something that measurably improves cycle time, ergonomics, quality, or cost.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
  • 401(k) plan with company match (100% on the first 3% of contributions, 50% on the next 2%)
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
  • Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
  • Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support
  • Onsite snacks and catered lunches
