1X is building humanoid robots (NEO) designed to operate safely in homes. The Manufacturing team is responsible for assembling and shipping these robots at scale, and this Production Supervisor role is critical to that mission.
You will own the daily operations of the assembly floor, managing people, workflow, safety, and output. Your key responsibilities include:
• Hit daily and weekly NEO build targets without compromising safety or quality; own throughput, yield, first-pass quality, and on-time completion metrics.
• Build and lead a production team that is trained, accountable, and engaged, measured by retention, cross-training coverage, and team-level performance.
• Drive defect rates and rework down quarter over quarter through root-cause problem solving, process control, and feedback loops with Quality and Engineering.
• Own floor safety as non-negotiable—zero preventable incidents, full compliance with safety protocols, and a culture where the team raises issues early.
• Surface and lead at least one meaningful process improvement per quarter that measurably improves cycle time, ergonomics, quality, or cost.
You are a builder who leads from the floor—visible, knowing your team, solving problems at the station rather than from a desk. You have high ownership and high standards, communicate clearly and directly, solve problems with structure, and stay calm in ambiguity. You translate between technicians, engineers, and leadership without losing signal.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 3+ years directly supervising production or manufacturing teams in a hands-on, on-floor capacity
• Demonstrated track record of hitting production targets while maintaining quality and safety standards
• Working fluency in production planning, quality systems, and safety practices (standard work, defect tracking, lockout/tagout, PPE compliance)
• Comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environment where processes change quarter to quarter
• Available to work on-site in Hayward or San Carlos, on day or swing shift
PREFERRED:
• Experience in low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing (robotics, aerospace, medical devices, EVs, advanced electromechanical assembly)
• Hands-on experience with lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or structured continuous-improvement methodologies
• Experience launching new product lines or ramping processes from pilot to production
• Familiarity with MES, ERP, or production tracking systems
• Experience training and developing technicians, including cross-training and skills matrices
