Your CharterLead the development of safety analytics infrastructure, operational metrics, and validation frameworks that measure and improve the real-world safety performance of 1X humanoid robots. This role is critical to enabling data-driven safety decisions across autonomy development, robot deployment, and operational incident analysis as 1X scales globally.
Key Outcomes- Design and scale safety analytics systems that provide actionable visibility into robot safety performance across development, testing, and production environments
- Establish measurable safety KPIs, operational risk metrics, and validation frameworks for autonomy and robot behavior evaluation
- Build scalable tooling and data pipelines to analyze incidents, near misses, behavioral anomalies, and operational safety trends
- Partner cross-functionally with Autonomy, Controls, Data Infrastructure, Product, and Safety teams to improve safety signal quality and operational decision-making
- Improve robot safety readiness through continuous monitoring, reporting, experimentation, and safety performance analysis at fleet scale
Key Competencies- Deep expertise in safety analytics, data systems, autonomy validation, or large-scale operational metrics infrastructure
- Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset with the ability to translate complex technical behaviors into measurable safety insights
- Experience building scalable data pipelines, experimentation frameworks, or operational analytics systems
- Strong programming and technical problem-solving skills across distributed systems or robotics environments
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills across engineering, operations, and leadership teams
Minimum Requirements- 10+ years of experience in safety analytics, robotics systems, autonomous systems, data engineering, or related technical domains
- Strong experience working with large-scale data infrastructure, analytics platforms, or operational telemetry systems
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, Spark, or similar analytics and systems programming tools
- Experience designing metrics, dashboards, experimentation systems, or operational performance frameworks
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Statistics, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related technical field
Preferred Skills- Experience working with autonomous systems, robotics, AVs, industrial automation, or safety-critical systems
- Familiarity with safety standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or operational risk frameworks
- Experience with telemetry systems, simulation environments, or fleet-scale robotics operations
- Background in machine learning, anomaly detection, or statistical modeling for operational systems
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Robotics, AI, Data Science, Statistics, or related field
What does a successful 1X Team Member look like:Team 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.
