Your CharterCreate an abundant supply of physical labor by ensuring every machined part that goes into NEO is precise, manufacturable, and delivered fast. You'll own the path from CAD file to finished part, enabling our engineers to iterate at the pace required to put safe, intelligent humanoids into the real world.
Key Outcomes- Own end-to-end CNC programming and operation for prototype and small-scale production parts, holding tight tolerances across 5-axis milling and mill-turn work
- Deliver daily or next-day turnaround on engineering prototype parts without compromising quality
- Drive measurable improvements in design for manufacturability by partnering directly with engineering on every part you touch
- Maintain in-process inspection and quality standards that result in first-article acceptance on the parts you produce
- Keep the shop running safely, cleanly, and reliably as we scale machining throughput
Key Competencies- Deep fluency with advanced 5-axis and mill-turn CNC programming - you can take a complex part from CAD to finished good without hand-holding
- Strong CAM expertise paired with sharp judgment on tooling, fixturing, and process planning
- Genuine craftsmanship and attention to detail - you care that the part is right, not just that it's done
- Collaborative builder mindset - you push back on designs that aren't manufacturable and offer real solutions
- Bias toward speed without cutting corners on quality or safety
Minimum Requirements- Proven hands-on experience programming and operating 5-axis and mill-turn CNC machines
- Proficiency in a professional CAM system
- Strong working knowledge of machining tolerances and in-process inspection techniques
- Able to work full-time on-site in Hayward alongside a focused team
Preferred Skills- Experience in high-precision industries such as robotics, aerospace, or medical devices
- Background supporting rapid prototyping environments where turnaround time matters as much as tolerance
- Comfort working directly with design engineers to influence part geometry and reduce machining complexity
What does a successful 1X Team Member look likeTeam members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it's the one thing you can't get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
