System Engineer, Hands

1X builds safe humanoid robots that work alongside people at home and in factories. We ship fast, test hard, iterate until it works. About the Role System Engineer role at 1X Technologies focused on designing, integrating, and maintaining complex robotic/automation systems with an emphasis on tactile sensing and perception. The engineer will collaborate across hardware, embedded, controls, and software teams to deliver reliable end-to-end system performance from prototype to production. Responsibilities Define system architecture, interfaces, and requirements across mechanical, electrical, embedded, and software subsystems. Integrate tactile sensors and related perception pipelines into robotic platforms and validate performance. Develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and verification/validation (V&V) strategies for system-level readiness. Own system bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis across hardware/firmware/software boundaries. Collaborate with controls and SW/AI teams to tune system behavior and improve robustness. Create and maintain system documentation: ICDs, requirements, schematics references, test reports, and release notes. Partner with product and program teams to scope milestones, estimate effort, and manage technical risks.
