San Carlos Shift:

Day Shift (6:00 AM

• 2:30 PM) or Swing Shift (3:00 PM
• 11:30 PM) About 1X We're building humanoid robots that work in home
• doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not. 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. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us. 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. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you. If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world
• this is that moment. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time
• safely creating abundance for all. About the Team The Manufacturing Engineering team is the bridge between design and reality
• turning robots that work in the lab into robots that ship at scale.

Every NEO that leaves our floor passes through the processes, fixtures, and standards this team builds. Without us, there's no product in customers' homes. Your Charter To create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids, we need to manufacture them reliably, repeatably, and at volume. As a Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you are on the production floor making that happen

• dialing in mechanical and electrical assembly processes, validating wire harnesses, troubleshooting the issues that would otherwise stop the line, and turning engineering intent into builds that hold up in the real world.

The cleaner and more capable our manufacturing process, the faster NEO gets into homes. Key Outcomes Stand up and sustain manufacturing processes for mechanical assemblies, machined components, and wire harnesses that meet quality, yield, and cycle time targets Drive measurable improvements in scrap, rework, first-pass yield, and throughput through hands-on troubleshooting and SPC-driven analysis Validate engineering changes through first article inspections and pilot builds, ensuring revisions reach production without disrupting flow Maintain fixtures, harness boards, automated cells, and test stations so production never stops for preventable equipment issues Own root cause investigations on production failures and close them out with corrective actions that stick Key Competencies Hands-on operator who is equally comfortable on the floor with a torque wrench, a crimper, and a multimeter as you are pulling production data into a spreadsheet Sharp diagnostic instinct

• you can look at a failed harness, a misaligned assembly, or a flagged test result and quickly narrow down where the problem actually lives Bias toward documentation and repeatability
• you don't just fix things, you make sure they stay fixed Cross-functional communicator who can translate between operators, design engineers, and quality without friction High personal standards for build quality, safety, and workmanship
• you notice the things others walk past Minimum Requirements Hands-on experience in manufacturing, assembly, machining, or wire harness production Experience troubleshooting mechanical and/or electrical production issues Comfort interpreting work instructions, technical drawings, and build documentation Working knowledge of crimping, connector assembly, harness routing, or precision mechanical assembly Experience performing inspections, in-process verification, or production testing (continuity, isolation, hipot, or functional testing ideal but not a deal breaker) Preferred Skills Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) or production ramp environments Familiarity with SPC, yield tracking, and basic data analysis tools Exposure to robotics, automation cells, or automotive/aerospace harness manufacturing Experience supporting ECO implementation and first article inspections Background working alongside design and quality engineering on root cause investigations What does a successful 1X Team Member look like Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders.

They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it's the one thing you can't get back

• because it is.

They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
