Design Engineer (Mech. Engineer/ CAD Engineer)

Since its founding in 2015, 1X has been at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids.

We strive for excellence in all we do, solving some of the hardest problems in robotics with the world's most talented individuals. Every part of our robots is designed and produced in-house-from motor coils to AI-reflecting our vertically integrated approach. At 1X, you'll own real projects, be recognized for your achievements, and rewarded based on merit.

1X is building safe, helpful humanoid robots to create the most abundant society in human history. To deliver on that vision, we're designing beautiful, purposeful androids-inside and out.We're looking for a Design Engineer to help turn early design concepts into manufacturable realities. You'll be a core bridge between our industrial designers and hardware engineers, translating form into function with precision. You'll own CAD workflows that respect industrial design vision while getting the details right for real-world manufacturing in partnership with hardware design engineers. Your impact will extend well beyond CAD, you'll shape how our robots look, feel, and come to life in the world around us.

Responsibilities

• Own CAD development in industrial design, from early prototyping stages all the way to production-ready assemblies

• Create clean, parametric 3D models that support fast iteration and long-term scalability

• Work closely with hardware engineering to balance design intent and technical constraints

• Solve real-world issues like draft angles, fasteners, wall thicknesses, and tolerances

• Prepare STEP files, BOMs, and documentation that feed directly into our build pipeline

• Help prototype and test parts with our prototyping, fabrication and assembly teams
