Job Description

About 1X


We’re an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general‑purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.
We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
We’re looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI. If this mission excites you, we’d be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.

Role Overview


As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, Generalist, you’ll contribute across the embedded stack—motor control, sensor interfaces, bootloader/OTA firmware deployment, and integration with higher‑level software. You’ll help with hardware bring‑up, work across safety and security, and be pivotal in moving from R&D lab work toward full production deployment of humanoid robots. Your work will touch firmware architecture, systems integration, test automation, and real hardware in diverse operational environments.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and develop firmware for motor controllers, sensor interfaces, and battery management systems

  • Build robust OTA firmware update and bootloader deployment solutions

  • Participate in hardware‑software integration and system bring‑up projects across teams

  • Contribute to continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) infrastructure and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) test beds

  • Drive features in safety, security, and higher‑level robot software safety layers

  • Guide improvements in firmware standards, reliability, and development process

  • Hands‑on experience developing embedded firmware (motor control, MCU APIs, sensor interfacing, etc.)

  • Familiarity with OTA updates, bootloader design, and secure firmware deployment

  • Experience with hardware‑software integration, bringing up new hardware platforms

  • Knowledge of test automation, CI/CD, and HIL testing environments

  • Strong attitude toward “getting things done” and balancing long‑term planning with short‑term execution

  • Background in robotics, automotive, consumer electronics, or other products with embedded safety/security requirements
