Job summary

Skild AI seeks a Manufacturing Engineering Manager to own the transition of electromechanical robotics hardware from prototype into repeatable production. You will lead a team of assembly technicians and manufacturing engineers, drive build execution to schedule, and scale new platforms; the core infrastructure is in place and will be run, improved, and expanded.

This role emphasizes process design, fixture development, and collaboration with mechanical and electrical engineers to ensure

Qualifications

• 7+ years in manufacturing or NPI engineering for complex electromechanical hardware.
• Experience taking a product from prototype into repeatable production.
• Experience leading technicians and engineers—with a real interest in doing it.
• Fluency with PLM and BOM systems, and the judgment to keep BOM data trustworthy as designs move.
• Hands-on process development: fixture design, assembly method development, tooling selection.

Responsibilities

• Deliver units against schedule, owning sequencing around actual part availability, daily floor priorities, and the escalation path when a build stalls.
• Lead and develop the assembly technicians and manufacturing engineers, setting the standards for quality and the path for people to grow.
• Bring build hours down substantially through process design, fixturing, and improved documentation across our high-mix, high-complexity assembly.
• Take new hardware platforms from engineering release into producible builds, running pilot builds and feeding manufacturability issues back to design with actionable specificity.
• Stand up the processes and fixtures each new platform needs.
• Own the controlled work instructions and build documentation the floor works from, keeping them current as designs change.
• Depending on your strengths, may own the BOM and production data layer — part numbering discipline, MBOM accuracy, and the automation connecting engineering data to operations.
