About 1X

We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

The Role:

As a Software Engineer on the Teleop & Immersion Team, you will develop intuitive, low-latency teleoperation systems that enable remote control of our humanoid robots. You’ll work closely with engineers, operators, and designers to enhance user immersion and system responsiveness. Your work will directly impact the scalability and effectiveness of teleoperation across our NEO robot fleet.

You Will

• Design, develop, and implement immersive teleoperation systems, including real-time control, low-latency audio/video streaming, and user interfaces

• Collaborate closely with robot operators to gather feedback and improve user experience based on real-world use

• Work cross-functionally with AI, platforms, controls, and design teams to ensure teleoperation integrates seamlessly with overall robot behavior

• Develop innovative strategies for visualizing the robot’s state and environment using techniques beyond basic video streaming, such as overlays and sensing feedback

Must Have

• Experience in teleoperation, robotics, VR/AR, or related fields, with a strong record of delivering production-grade systems

• Strong proficiency in at least two of the following: C++, Python, Swift, C#

• Deep understanding of real-time controls, motion retargeting, rigid body dynamics, and kinematics

• Experience with low-latency networking protocols, audio-visual streaming, and digital signal processing for real-time applications

• Practical experience building immersive solutions, including depth sensing, haptic feedback, or human-computer interaction

• Experience with volumetric rendering techniques such as NeRF or 3D Gaussian Splatting is a plus

Benefits & Compensation

• Salary Range: $130,000 – $250,000 + Equity
