What are the responsibilities and job description for the Finance Intern position at 1X?
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.
We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.
As we scale from research and development to full-scale manufacturing, we’re building the foundation for long-term financial excellence and we’re looking for future leaders to help make that happen. As a Finance Intern at 1X, you’ll support key financial operations and strategic analysis as part of a fast-moving team. You’ll get hands-on experience across budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and business planning and work directly with leaders across the company, from engineering to operations. Whether you’re crunching numbers or building dashboards, you’ll contribute directly to the systems that help 1X scale.
