About 1X We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.
The Role Our Manufacturing Data Platform is the backbone of robot traceability - capturing every component, calibration, and telemetry reading from factory birth through the entire product lifecycle. We need a versatile engineer who can own this platform end-to-end.
As a Full Stack Engineer on the Manufacturing Data Platform, you will be the technical backbone of our Industrial Data Platform (IDP) - owning everything from edge data ingestion to cloud APIs to technician-facing applications. You'll design database schemas, build real-time telemetry pipelines, implement secure authentication, and create intuitive interfaces for factory technicians and end users. This role requires someone who can context-switch between backend services, frontend applications, data architecture, and security implementation.
This role is ideal for engineers who thrive on ownership and breadth - you'll touch every layer of the stack and see your work directly impact robot manufacturing quality.
You Will Backend Development
Frontend Development- Build Progressive Web App (PWA) for factory technicians: QR scanning, robot diagnostics, recording controls
Create admin dashboards for fleet management, user administration, and audit log viewing Implement real-time telemetry visualization with WebSocket integration (<500ms latency)- Design mobile-first interfaces optimized for factory floor use (large touch targets, high contrast) Data Architecture
Design and optimize database schemas: Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) for relational data, Bigtable for time-series telemetry
Architect data storage strategy: immutable data (OTP), versioned calibration (EEPROM sync), time-series streaming
