About the role

This is one role because the work is one job. You own a technology, a supplier, and a manufacturing process from selection through high-volume production, and you are accountable for how that hardware performs after it ships. The scope runs across silicon, advanced packaging, printed circuit boards, mechanical parts, and assembly. Some weeks you are choosing the process and the factory. Some weeks you are the reliability engineer or the quality engineer standing up a new design, a new line, or a new process. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in supplier development, manufacturing or process engineering, equipment engineering, quality engineering, or reliability engineering for hardware
  • Experience with driving a supplier, design, or process from initial conception to production
  • Experience owning the outcomes related to final yield, quality, and performance
  • PCB fabrication or assembly
