About the role
Our organization is standing up its first physical footprint in Austin, Texas: an initial facility in 2026, followed by a purpose-built campus opening in 2027. Over the following three years, the operation is expected to scale from a single-customer pilot into a multi-customer production platform, with the workforce growing from a founding team into a 200-plus-person operation as volume ramps toward several thousand units a year at full scale.
What they're looking for
- 15+ years in manufacturing operations leadership, with direct P&L ownership of a plant, business unit, or manufacturing company
- A track record of standing up new manufacturing facilities from the ground up — greenfield or brownfield — including commissioning, hiring ramp, and production qualification
- Deep fluency in precision manufacturing: CNC machining, final assembly/test/packaging (FATP), new product introduction (NPI), and design-for-manufacturability (DFM)
- Experience serving demanding, fast-iterating hardware customers — robotics, aerospace, defense, or similarly exacting sectors — strongly preferred
- Familiarity with U.S. export-control and government-contracting frameworks (ITAR, CMMC) is a strong plus, willingness to build and operate within those frameworks is required
- Comfortable operating with board-level visibility and reporting, including to an international (Japan-based) parent company
