About 1X
We’re an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general‑purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.
We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing friendly home robots designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
We’re looking for curious, driven, and passionate people who want to help shape the future of robotics and AI. If this mission excites you, we’d be thrilled to hear from you and explore how you might contribute to our journey.

Role Overview
The AI Residency is a fixed‑term role (3–6 months) in which you will contribute to critical AI and robotics projects alongside full‑time team members. You will build full‑stack infrastructure for simulation, data management, and learning, apply research‑level ideas in production settings, and help ship capabilities to robots deployed in the field. Residents tackle projects with the same scope and difficulty as those worked on by full‑time employees.

Responsibilities

Bring cutting‑edge ideas from the AI and robotics research community into product applications and scale them using the robot fleet’s data
Build evaluations that benchmark open‑source models on tasks useful to 1X
Build the “data engine” (frontend UI and backend) to review logs, clean data, and perform labeling
Ship new capabilities to robots deployed in customer sites
