Compliance Associate Engineer

About the role

We’re building humanoid robots that work in homes, handling chores and tasks to give people more free time. Our mission is challenging, requiring expertise in robotics, AI, and manufacturing. We’re at a stage where we’re ready to ship our flagship product, NEO, which is a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate safely alongside families.

Responsibilities

• Execute electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing activities across 1X products during development and certification.
• Own internal EMC pre-compliance testing, laboratory operations, certification logistics, test reporting, and coordination with external compliance laboratories.
• Support EMC troubleshooting efforts by identifying failure modes, collecting diagnostic data, isolating potential interference sources, and documenting findings.
• Work closely with Electrical Engineering and the Staff EMC/EMI Lead Engineer to drive issues toward resolution.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
• 1–4 years of experience supporting EMC/EMI testing, electrical validation, certification testing, product compliance, or related laboratory environments.
• Hands-on experience with EMC and electronic test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, LISNs, current probes, near-field probes, antennas, and signal generators.
• Strong troubleshooting mindset with the ability to systematically investigate emissions and immunity failures.
• Excellent laboratory discipline with attention to detail in test execution, documentation, and repeatability.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple testing activities, certification schedules, and compliance deliverables simultaneously.
• Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams and external certification partners.
• Ability to interpret EMC test results and communicate technical findings in a clear and actionable manner.

Qualifications

• Familiarity with EMC fundamentals including conducted emissions, radiated emissions, immunity testing, grounding, shielding, and filtering concepts.
• Experience operating common electronic test equipment and collecting technical test data.
• Experience supporting FCC Part 15, CE Marking, UKCA, CISPR, IEC 61000, RED, or similar regulatory compliance programs.
• Experience coordinating certification efforts with external laboratories such as TÜV, UL, Intertek, SGS, or Nemko.
• Experience working with accredited compliance laboratories and reviewing certification test reports.
• Experience maintaining laboratory equipment, calibration systems, and compliance documentation.
• Familiarity with robotics, consumer electronics, industrial automation, automotive electronics, or battery-powered products.
• Experience supporting root-cause investigations and failure analysis activities.
• Familiarity with wireless, product safety, environmental, or reliability testing programs.
• Experience testing motor-driven systems, power electronics, battery-powered products, or robotic systems.
• Familiarity with switching regulators, servo drives, BLDC motor controllers, and wireless communication systems.
