1X
Manufacturing Electrical Engineer, Hands
About this role
Manufacturing Electrical Engineer focused on scaling production of advanced robotic hands for 1X's humanoid robots. You'll own electromechanical manufacturing processes from prototype through production, developing robust assembly, test, and validation methods while solving novel manufacturing challenges at scale.
What you'll do
- Own electromechanical manufacturing processes for PCBAs, harnesses, sensors, actuators, and integration from prototype through production ramp
- Develop and validate functional and end-of-line test systems with appropriate coverage, limits, instrumentation, and data capture
- Design fixtures, tooling, assembly methods, and production stations that are repeatable, ergonomic, and mistake-proofed
- Drive continuous improvement in first-pass yield, process capability, cycle time, OEE, and cost through data-driven analysis
- Influence product design through DFM, DFA, and DFT assessments to eliminate manufacturing and test risks early
- Debug electrical hardware and develop production methods directly on the manufacturing floor
What they're looking for
- PCBA manufacturing processes (SMT, reflow, conformal coating, potting, rework)
- Wire harness manufacturing and testing (crimping, soldering, overmolding, continuity, hipot)
- Electrical schematic review and hardware debugging
- CAD, GD&T, and tolerance analysis
- Statistical process control, DOE, capability analysis, and yield metrics
- Test system design and instrumentation
- Cross-functional collaboration and problem-solving
- Production system design and process qualification
