Senior Robotics Software Engineer

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 worlds most talented individuals. Every part of our robots is designed and produced in-housefrom motor coils to AIreflecting our vertically integrated approach. At 1X, youll 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 are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer. In this role, youll collaborate with teams working across software, hardware, firmware, AI, and production on a cutting edge humanoid robot. As part of the real time software team, your software will eventually run on thousands of robots worldwide. Youll focus on real-time C development, efficient state estimation, and creating tools for system identification, hardware bring-up, and health monitoring. Candidates should have 3 years in robotics, strong C expertise, Linux experience, and a passion for hands-on robotics.

Why this job is exciting

• You'll be on a team with a large set of responsibilities, requiring interaction with hardware, firmware, AI, platforms and production teams, all working towards building the worlds safest and most capable humanoid robot.
• The controls team is the first user of the hardware so you will play a key role in hardware design and sensor evaluation.
• In time, your software will run on 1000's of humanoids performing tasks in diverse environments, globally.
• Youll be working with a 50 DoF biped, with hands, all driven by motors we design and manufacture in-house. If this doesnt excite you then ??
• You'll be on a team with a large set of responsibilities, requiring interaction with hardware, firmware, AI, platforms and production teams, all working towards building the worlds safest and most capable humanoid robot.
