What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead CAD Modeler 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.
At 1X, we believe robots are for everyone. That’s why we put care into every detail—how a robot looks, feels, moves, and interacts with the world. Bringing that vision to life requires people who build fast, test often, and prototype effectively along the way.
We're looking for a Lead CAD Modeler to join our industrial design team and help define our products at every stage—from early design visions to detailed prototypes and final designs. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves bringing designs to reality. You’ll work alongside creatives, industrial designers and engineers.
Responsibilities
We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.
We're excited to get to know you and the prospects of having you on board!
