CNC Operations Specialist

Targeted start date: Immediately. Relocation provided.

Join our team at 1X Technologies AS as a CNC Operations Specialist and embark on an exciting journey in our newly established prototyping workshop. As the cornerstone of our machining operations, you'll play a vital role in shaping the foundation of our internal machine park. Your responsibilities will include operating our state-of-the-art DMG Mori CNC machines (DMU75 5-axis mill and NTX1000 mill-turn) with precision. You'll collaborate closely with our skilled programmers, utilizing your expertise to ensure smooth machine operations. In-operation measurements will be part of your routine, ensuring the accuracy and quality of our prototypes. Your insights will be invaluable as you advise on fixturing solutions, optimising our processes for efficiency.

But that's not all. You'll also take charge of regular maintenance routines, ensuring our machines operate at peak performance. Monitoring machine health will be second nature to you, preempting any issues before they impact production. Imagine the satisfaction of being at the forefront of innovation, turning engineering design concepts into tangible products within a single day. As a self-driven individual, you'll thrive in this dynamic environment, where each day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth.

If you harbor a passion for technology, data, and spearheading the future advancements in the robotics industry, this is your golden opportunity to leave a big mark in history!

1X's mission is to create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent androids that work alongside humans. Since 2014, we’ve designed our products with large-scale manufacturing in mind, so we can produce androids at a high enough volume to meet the world’s labor demand. Our wheeled Android EVE, is engineered to work with you, from guarding to logistics, and our bipedal model, NEO, is designed to become a household android with broad deployment in various applications. Our products will understand both natural language and physical space, so they can complete useful tasks in any environment.

We’ve established our dual HQ in San Francisco and Norway. Our positions require in-person presence to ensure effective execution and seamless collaboration in our hardware-focused environment. We value passion for our work and encourage candidates who share our dedication to join our team.
