What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a magnet manufacturing engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Magnet Manufacturing Engineer, you need expertise in materials science, engineering principles, and process optimization, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with computer-aided design (CAD) software, quality management systems, and manufacturing automation tools is essential. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set top professionals apart in this field. These skills are crucial for ensuring high-quality production, innovation, and efficient operations in magnet manufacturing.

What are magnets and how do they work?

Magnets are objects that produce a magnetic field, which allows them to attract certain metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. The magnetic field is generated by the alignment of the magnetic domains within the material. Magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other while like poles repel. Magnets are used in a wide variety of applications, including electronics, motors, and magnetic storage devices. The strength and shape of a magnet can vary depending on its material and how it is manufactured.

What is the difference between Magnets vs Welders?

AspectMagnetsWelders
Required CredentialsNone or basic safety trainingWelding certifications (e.g., AWS)
Work EnvironmentManufacturing, assembly lines, constructionConstruction sites, factories, repair shops
Industry UsageElectronics, manufacturing, automotiveConstruction, manufacturing, shipbuilding
Job FocusUsing magnetic tools or materialsJoining metals through welding

Magnets and welders work in manufacturing and construction environments but serve different purposes. Magnets are used for holding or lifting materials, often requiring minimal training. Welders, on the other hand, perform metal joining processes that require specialized certifications. Understanding these differences helps job seekers find roles aligned with their skills and credentials.

What are some common challenges faced by magnetic engineers when designing new magnetic devices?

Magnetic Engineers often encounter challenges related to optimizing the efficiency and stability of magnetic fields while minimizing material costs and weight. Balancing performance requirements with safety standards, especially in industries like healthcare or transportation, can be complex. Additionally, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams—such as electrical, mechanical, and materials engineers—is essential to ensure the magnetic components integrate seamlessly into larger systems.

Job description

About 1X 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 Supply Chain team at 1X is responsible for building and scaling the global supplier network that powers our humanoid robots. We work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations to bring highly complex electromechanical systems from concept to mass production. As part of the Supply Chain organization, you will help ensure our products can scale from prototype to volume production through robust supplier partnerships, operational excellence, and proactive risk management. Your work directly impacts product performance, cost, quality, and our ability to successfully ramp NEO at scale. Your Charter As the Global Supply Manager for Motors & Magnets, you will own the sourcing strategy, commercial relationships, and supply continuity for critical motion system components including motors, gearboxes, magnetic assemblies, and related electromechanical systems. You will partner closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supplier Development teams to build a resilient supply base capable of supporting aggressive product development timelines and high-volume production. Key Outcomes
  • Develop and execute sourcing strategies that deliver competitive cost, quality, capacity, and technology advantages across the motors and magnets commodity space.
  • Secure supply continuity through supplier selection, capacity planning, risk mitigation, and dual-source strategies.
  • Drive measurable cost improvements through negotiations, value engineering, market intelligence, and strategic supplier partnerships.
  • Build and maintain a high-performing global supplier network capable of supporting rapid product development and production scaling.
  • Ensure supplier performance consistently meets business requirements for quality, delivery, responsiveness, and operational excellence.
Key Competencies
  • Deep understanding of motor manufacturing, magnetic materials, gearboxes, actuators, and electromechanical systems.
  • Strong commercial negotiation skills with demonstrated success managing complex supplier relationships and agreements.
  • Ability to evaluate supplier capabilities, manufacturing processes, cost structures, and scalability risks.
  • Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making capabilities with experience managing cost models and commodity strategies.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to influence engineering, operations, manufacturing, and supplier stakeholders.
Minimum Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or a related discipline.
  • 6+ years of experience in global sourcing, supply chain management, strategic sourcing, commodity management, or procurement.
  • Direct experience sourcing motors, magnetic materials, gearboxes, actuators, or related electromechanical components.
  • Proven track record developing sourcing strategies, negotiating commercial agreements, and managing supplier performance.
  • Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI), production ramp-ups, and global supplier management.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience sourcing rare earth magnets, permanent magnet materials, or motor subassemblies.
  • Strong understanding of motor design, magnetic circuit fundamentals, and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience working with suppliers throughout Asia, particularly China.
  • Mandarin language proficiency.
  • Experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, or other high-volume electromechanical industries.
