## 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
