Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Lead day-to-day production of SMT PCBAs and prototypes in a high-volume, highly automated environment, ensuring output, quality, and delivery targets are met every shift
- Supervise, schedule, and develop SMT line operators, material handlers, and technicians, providing coaching, training, and clear performance expectations
- Drive adoption and sustainment of 5S and visual management across the SMT floor, keeping the line clean, organized, and audit-ready
- Partner with process and manufacturing engineering to run line changeovers, support NPI builds, and transition prototypes into high-volume production
- Own line performance metrics (throughput, first-pass yield, downtime, scrap) and lead daily stand-up meetings, escalating and resolving bottlenecks quickly
- Identify and implement automation and continuous improvement opportunities that reduce touch time, cycle time, and operator dependency
