Your CharterAs a Quality Engineer, Manufacturing, you will develop and improve manufacturing quality systems for humanoid robotic hardware - from subassemblies and PCBA validation through full-system end-of-line testing. This role is highly cross-functional and deeply technical, sitting at the intersection of hardware engineering, manufacturing operations, and product reliability.
Key Outcomes- Develop and implement manufacturing quality strategies that improve system reliability, production readiness, and test coverage
- Lead PFMEA and failure analysis activities that reduce manufacturing escapes and improve process robustness
- Analyze production and test station data to identify yield loss drivers, recurring failures, and opportunities for corrective action
- Partner with Test, Firmware, and Design Engineering teams to integrate scalable quality checks into manufacturing workflows
- Drive DOE and validation activities that improve test accuracy, pass/fail thresholds, and production consistency across manufacturing sites
Key Competencies- Strong understanding of manufacturing quality systems for electromechanical hardware products
- Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret production data and identify actionable trends
Minimum Requirements- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of experience supporting electromechanical hardware testing or manufacturing quality environments
- Experience with PFMEA, Gage R&R, DOE, and statistical analysis methodologies
- Familiarity with PCBA testing, sensor validation, actuator testing, calibration workflows, or end-of-line manufacturing test systems
Preferred Skills- Familiarity with scalable manufacturing test systems across multiple production sites
- Exposure to startup or fast-paced hardware development environments
- Strong technical documentation and process development capability
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.
