## About the role

We're looking for a Senior Process Engineer to join our manufacturing team and build Persona's production system from the ground up. This person will report into and function as the right hand to Persona’s Head of Manufacturing. You will lead the development implementation and optimization of a robust manufacturing process of complex humanoid robots. You'll own the complete manufacturing process architecture: including process development, assembly sequencing, factory layout, and scalability.

## What they're looking for

- 10–15+ years in manufacturing or process engineering in a complex hardware environment like robotics, automotive (OEM or Tier 1/2 supplier), aerospace, industrial equipment, or consumer electronics
- Proven experience or strong aptitude to design and build production systems from the ground up
- Experience with implementation of MES systems (Tulip, ProPlanner, or like)
- Deep knowledge of factory layout, line design, and process flow. You've moved equipment around on paper (and in practice) and know how to design a build sequence that actually works
- Hands-on experience with lean manufacturing principles: standard work, poka-yoke, 5S, kaizen, value stream mapping
- Strong DFM/DFA instincts. You’re comfortable pushing back on engineering when a design will create production problems
