Internship - Manufacturing Engineering

What you'd do

• Develop and document repeatable manufacturing and assembly processes for prototype and pre-production parts that others can run reliably.
• Build and improve fixtures, jigs, and workflows that reduce build time, scrap, and rework on the line.
• Own process validation and durability testing for the parts and assemblies you support, surfacing failure modes early and driving fixes.
• Produce and maintain accurate CAD and process documentation so parts and methods can be reproduced reliably across the team.
• Partner with design and engineering on the next robot revision to drive design-for-manufacturability improvements before parts hit the floor.
• Builder’s instinct, you reach for the tools and make the process work rather than waiting for perfect information.
• Hands-on manufacturing aptitude across machining, 3D printing, assembly, and post-processing.
• Comfort in CAD, translating design intent into clean, manufacturable parts and fixtures.
• Process mindset, you think in terms of repeatability, throughput, and yield, not one-off builds.
• Clear communicator who documents work so the line and the design team can build on it.

What they want

• Hands-on experience in manufacturing or mechanical engineering.
• Basic CAD skills (SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar).
• Comfortable doing physical work, including setup, assembly, and post-processing.
• Currently studying engineering or a related field.

What you get

• $2,500 Monthly Housing Stipend for relocation
• Generous paid time off and company holidays
• Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
• Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
• Onsite snacks and catered lunches

About 1X · Manufacturing Operations

We’re building humanoid robots that work in home, doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it’s not. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, and manufacturing at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you’re inspired by this, you’ll thrive here.
