Robot Assembly Technician, Body

About the role

The Manufacturing team is where NEO goes from CAD files to physical reality. Every robot that ships to a customer's home passes through our hands first, and the precision of our work directly determines whether NEO performs safely and reliably in the real world. This team is critical to 1X's mission - without us, there is no robot, no shipment, and no abundance to create.
