## Job description

## WORKPLACE COORDINATOR

Department: Workplace

Location: San Carlos

Shift: Monday–Friday, Day Shift

## ABOUT 1X

We’re building humanoid robots that work in any space humans exist with the mission to create an abundance of labor. Simple, but it’s not.

To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, software, hardware, manufacturing and operations at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe. 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 general purpose 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 Workplace team keeps the San Carlos office running smoothly for everyone building NEO, from the front desk to the break room to a new hire's first day. We're the team people count on to make the office just work, so the rest of the company can focus on the mission.

## YOUR CHARTER

Be the first point of contact and go to resource for everything happening in the San Carlos office, making sure day to day office operations, events, and the new hire experience run without a hitch.

- Coordinating with IT, HR, and Facilities on new hire onboarding logistics so every new hire has what they need on day one
- Managing employee workplace perks and enrollments, like DoorDash and EV charging, accurately and on time

## KEY COMPETENCIES

- Highly organized and able to juggle a wide range of daily responsibilities without dropping the ball
- Warm and professional, comfortable being the face of the office for visitors, candidates, and new hires
- Proactive and takes ownership of whatever the office needs rather than waiting to be asked
- Detail oriented, especially with things like seating maps, supply inventory, and event logistics
- Strong communicator who can coordinate across IT, HR, Facilities, and outside vendors
