Mechanical Engineer - Prototyping
1X, San Carlos, CA
The team
The Prototyping team helps turn ideas into physical reality across some of the most varied hardware projects at 1X. While other engineering teams may focus deeply on a specific subsystem of NEO, this team works across accessories, shop products, internal ecosystem projects, and the hardware needed to support the broader NEO experience.
You may be designing a mechanical prototype one week, coordinating fabrication the next, and testing or iterating on a completely different product shortly after. If you enjoy variety, ownership, and building things from the ground up, this is a team where you will have a direct impact.
Your Charter: Own the end-to-end development of physical products and prototypes that support the NEO ecosystem beyond the core robot. You will take projects from unclear requirements through design, prototyping, fabrication, testing, and iteration, working directly with stakeholders and internal and external resources to deliver practical, high-quality solutions.
