Compliance Associate Engineer

Role Name: Compliance Associate Test Engineer – EMC/EMI

Department: Quality

Location: San Carlos

About 1X

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, 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. We’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.

NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. We’re excited to meet you, if this excites you.

If you’ve spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We’re scaling, we’re hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

About the Team

The Compliance Engineering team enables 1X products to achieve global regulatory approvals and safely operate in real-world environments. We support engineering teams through internal validation, pre-compliance testing, certification planning, and regulatory approvals across robotic systems, electronics, wireless technologies, and electromechanical products.

Working closely with Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Systems Integration, Product Safety, and external certification partners, we identify compliance risks early and help ensure products reach market efficiently and successfully.

Your Charter: As a Compliance Associate Test Engineer – EMC/EMI, you will be responsible for executing electromagnetic compatibility testing activities across 1X products throughout development and certification. You will own internal EMC pre-compliance testing, laboratory operations, certification logistics, test reporting, and coordination with external compliance laboratories.

You will support EMC troubleshooting efforts by identifying failure modes, collecting diagnostic data, isolating potential interference sources, and documenting findings. You will work closely with Electrical Engineering and the Staff EMC/EMI Lead Engineer to drive issues toward resolution.

This role focuses on test execution, laboratory operations, certification readiness, and technical troubleshooting support. Ownership of EMC design requirements, mitigation strategies, architecture decisions, and hardware design recommendations remains with Electrical Engineering and the Staff EMC/EMI Lead Engineer.

This role reports through the Quality organization and works closely with the Staff EMC/EMI Lead Engineer, who provides technical leadership for EMC strategy, certification risk management, and design-for-compliance activities.
