## About the role

We're building robots for industrial deployment that push the limits of what hardware can do - and the electronics inside them have to survive the real world, at scale, from suppliers who've never built anything quite like this before. We need someone who has industrialized components in the trenches: walked the SMT lines, run the PPAPs, and carried a design from first prototype to a ramp that didn't fall over.

## What they're looking for

- You've built or significantly shaped an SI, SQE, or NPI function before. You know what it means to operate without a playbook because you've written one, not just followed it
- 7+ years in supplier industrialization, supplier quality, NPI, or manufacturing engineering in hardware-intensive industries such as robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, or aerospace
- Working knowledge of IPC standards and PCB fabrication processes, experience with flex and rigid-flex circuits or sensor integration (tactile, force, capacitive, camera modules) is a strong plus
- Fluent in the industrialization toolkit: PPAP, APQP, pFMEA, control plans, SPC, MSA/Gage R&R, DOE, capability analysis (Cpk), 8D/RCCA
- Hands-on experience taking products through the prototype-to-production transition, including EVT/DVT/PVT builds, tooling and test fixture qualification, run-at-rate, and ramp
- Engineering degree (Electrical, Mechanical, or similar) and the ability to read schematics, layouts, and drawings well enough to hold your own in design reviews with the engineers who made them
