About the role
We build general-purpose robots, and next year we start building them in volume. You will be the manufacturing engineer who takes the robot from engineering builds to production. Our CA facility is where new products are introduced: the process is designed, the first stations are built and proven, and the technicians are trained there. Volume production runs with a manufacturing partner, on their floor or on ours with their people, and you own the process in both cases. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You have taken a complex electromechanical product from prototype through pilot to volume and designed the process yourself, not inherited it. Robots, vehicles, drones, medical devices, industrial equipment all count
- You have transferred a process to a contract manufacturer and held them to your standard
- Strong manufacturing engineering foundation: time studies, line balancing, capacity planning, fixture and tooling design, test strategy, PFMEA and control plans, lean and continuous improvement, CAD and GD&T fluency
- You have hired and trained technicians, written certification criteria, and know that trained people are the real constraint on throughput
- You have run a quality gate and held it under schedule pressure
- You are on the floor every day and rigorous in the data
More about this role
We are a full-stack general-purpose robot company, born across San Francisco and Paris and bound by a single mission: to make general-purpose robots a reality, unlocking infinite physical labor for the world and freeing people for creativity, exploration, and the pursuits they love for their own sake.
We are French and American by birth and global by nature. We are backed by partners who share our vision, including Eclipse, Khosla Ventures, Bpifrance, and HSG, alongside Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, and Vladlen Koltun. Our people work across the Bay Area and Europe, building the engine that will teach robots to do real work in the real world. We recently unveiled Eno, our wheeled, dexterous robot powered by our GENE foundation model, and we are starting to put it to work with real customers.
