About 1X

We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not.

To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.

NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We're not demoing it - we're shipping it. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you.

If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

About the Team:

Our Infrastructure team builds and operates the environments that enable our robots, and the people creating them to perform at their best. From scaling manufacturing and lab spaces to ensuring safety, reliability, and operational excellence across every site, the team creates the physical foundation that powers innovation and production.

Infrastructure plays a critical role in accelerating execution by delivering world-class workplaces, infrastructure, and operational readiness that allow engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to move faster and scale smarter.

Your Charter:

The Infrastructure team is responsible for building and operating the physical foundation that enables 1X to scale humanoid robotics from development to production. This team ensures our manufacturing sites, labs, warehouses, and workplaces are safe, reliable, and operationally excellent environments where engineering, production, and business teams can move with speed and focus.

As 1X rapidly scales, Infrastructure sits directly on the company's critical path by enabling operational readiness, infrastructure scalability, and execution velocity across every site. The team plays a central role in removing physical and operational bottlenecks, supporting manufacturing growth, and ensuring the environments powering our robots evolve as quickly as the technology itself.

Key Outcomes:

• Build and lead a security program across our San Carlos and Hayward sites that keeps people safe, protects critical work, and supports fast-moving day-to-day operations without slowing teams down.

• Create a high-standard on-site security operation with strong coverage, clear escalation paths, and consistent real-time response across incidents, investigations, visitors, and workplace safety situations.

• Develop and lead a security team that is trusted, operationally sharp, calm under pressure, and capable of handling sensitive situations with professionalism and sound judgment.

• Partner closely with Facilities, Manufacturing, IT, Legal, and People teams to identify operational risks early, improve site readiness, and strengthen overall workplace safety and resilience.

• Build scalable security processes, reporting, and emergency response programs that improve visibility, decision-making, and operational readiness as 1X continues to grow.
