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 Flexible Assembly Manufacturing team owns a mechanically critical subsystem that enables NEO to move with precision and load-bearing reliability. We sit at the intersection of design, assembly, and quality — responsible for translating prototype builds into consistent, scalable production. Our work is directly on the critical path to shipping NEO, and we’re growing to meet that demand.
Your Charter: As a Manufacturing Process Engineer at 1X, you will take assemblies from prototype through volume production. You’ll design, optimize, and manage manufacturing processes coupled with mechanical design intent, optimizing for precision assembly and surface treatment, ensuring they are repeatable, cost-effective, and reliable. This is a hands-on role that directly impacts the quality and scalability of our manufacturing operations.
Key Outcomes:
- Drive process improvements to reduce cycle time, increase first-pass yield, and improve consistency across product families
- Implement statistical process control (SPC) and quality monitoring for key parameters such as surface treatment uniformity, cure integrity, and mechanical performance
- Design and build custom production tooling to improve throughput, reduce operator variation, and enforce process rigor across the manufacturing line
- Develop and maintain manufacturing process documentation — work instructions, SOPs, control plans — that production supervisors can train to and hold the line accountable against
- Own manufacturing process definition through new product introduction (NPI), managing prototype builds, validation units, and production ramp phases
Key Competencies:
- Hands-on process ownership: You walk the floor, identify what is broken, and implement fixes — designing new fixtures, updating work instructions, and resolving detailed production failures directly
- Consistency and variance reduction: You define processes tightly enough that a supervisor can train to them and enforce them without your direct involvement
- Cross-functional fluency: You collaborate effectively with design engineering on geometry, tolerances, and assembly strategies to ensure manufacturability at scale, and serve as technical liaison between design, assembly, finishing, and quality teams
- Manufacturing documentation discipline: You produce up-to-date work instructions, SOPs, control plans, and change management records as a core part of the job — not an afterthought
- Urgency with rigor: You move fast, own your work completely, and hold yourself to a high standard before anyone has to ask
Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- Minimum 5 years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process development involving precision mechanical or electromechanical assemblies, including hands-on experience supporting production builds, process ramp, yield improvement, and manufacturing issue resolution
- Experience with PFMEA, control plans, process validation, or safety-critical manufacturing
- Experience designing production tooling and fixtures to improve process repeatability and operator ergonomics
- Strong experience in mechanical design and design for manufacturability (DFM) for flexible assemblies
Preferred Skills:
- Hands-on experience with cable, fiber, or flexible component assembly processes
- Experience with adhesive joining based assembly, including cure validation and surface treatment application
- Experience with fiber-based or composite structures
- Familiarity with industrial surface treatment or coating systems
- Background in process validation for safety-critical or load-bearing assemblies
- Experience with surface preparation, coating, bonding, or adhesion-critical processes
- Familiarity with measurement and inspection techniques — dimensional checks, mechanical load testing, surface treatment measurement
- Knowledge of lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies
- Proficiency with CAD tools, PLM/ERP systems, and manufacturing documentation
- Solid cross-functional collaboration skills across engineering, supply chain, QA, and production teams
- Exposure to high-mix or custom-order environments with frequent process iteration
What does a successful 1X Team Member look like:
Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Process Engineer
Frame your credentials around specialty occupation
Your degree must directly relate to process engineering work, not just engineering broadly. Gather transcripts, credential evaluations, and any professional certifications that tie your Singapore qualifications to the specific role a U.S. employer is hiring for.
Use OFLC Wage Search before salary conversations
Pull the prevailing wage for Process Engineer roles in your target metro using OFLC Wage Search. Knowing the DOL wage level lets you enter offer negotiations informed and signals to employers that you understand the LCA compliance requirements they must meet.
Target employers already certified for LCA filings
Search for companies with active LCA certifications in chemical, semiconductor, or manufacturing sectors. Employers with prior certifications have internal compliance processes in place, which shortens the time between offer and your consulate appointment.
Find verified H-1B1 Singapore sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter by companies with confirmed H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history on Migrate Mate. Targeting employers who have filed for Singaporean nationals before removes the step of educating hiring managers about a visa category most U.S. HR teams rarely handle.
Clarify consulate processing with your hiring team
H-1B1 visa Singapore is approved at the consulate in Singapore, not through USCIS. Confirm your employer understands this distinction before signing an offer, so they don't mistakenly budget for a USCIS petition or premium processing that doesn't apply.
Verify your O*NET job zone before the LCA is filed
Check the O*NET profile for your specific Process Engineer role to confirm it meets the specialty occupation standard. If your duties span multiple occupation codes, align the job description to the primary code before your employer submits the LCA to DOL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Process Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation under H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or materials science. Roles requiring only a general engineering background without field-specific requirements can face pushback during LCA review, so the job description should tie degree requirements to the actual duties.
How does H-1B1 Singapore compare to H-1B for Process Engineers?
H-1B1 Singapore skips the annual lottery entirely and is processed at the consulate rather than through USCIS, which removes several months of petition wait time. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 does not allow dual intent, meaning you cannot simultaneously pursue a green card while on this status. For Process Engineers focused on near-term employment rather than permanent residency, H-1B1 Singapore is typically the faster path.
How do I find employers that have sponsored H-1B1 Singapore visas for Process Engineers before?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history, so you can target companies that have already navigated the LCA and consulate process for Singaporean nationals. This matters for Process Engineer roles specifically because semiconductor fabrication, refining, and specialty chemical employers tend to concentrate sponsorship activity in particular regions.
Can my employer file the LCA while I am still working in Singapore?
Yes. The employer submits the LCA to DOL for certification before you apply at the consulate, and you do not need to be in the U.S. at any point during this stage. Once the LCA is certified, you schedule your consulate interview in Singapore and the visa is stamped there, so the entire process can run while you remain in your current role.
What happens to my H-1B1 Singapore status if my Process Engineer role changes significantly?
A material change in job duties, location, or employer requires a new LCA before the change takes effect. If you move to a role at a different facility or shift from process optimization into capital project engineering, your employer must file an updated LCA reflecting the new conditions. Failing to update can create compliance exposure for the employer under DOL rules.
