Based on reading 412 open postings, @0xmeden ranked 5 robotics companies best for starting a career:
- Figure: most open roles (101), humanoid robot operators across shifts, 63 of 101 jobs don't require a degree.
- 1X: 3-6 month AI Residency at $10K/month, code ships to NEO robots in real homes, every posting lists pay.
- Physical Intelligence: robot operator at $25/hr, no degree listed, teleoperating arms that train their robot brain.
- Agility Robotics: "Robot Operator II" at $102K-$133K, associate degree, basic Python and Linux.
- Skild AI: robot operator jobs in Pittsburgh and India.
Key takeaway: the realistic entry point into humanoid robotics is operator roles, not research teams.
