Job description

About the Team

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. We design and manufacture our hardware in-house, which means iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof.

Rapid prototyping is a core part of how we develop hardware, and 3D printing is one of the fastest ways we turn ideas into parts. Our hardware team relies on printed parts for iteration, fixtures, prototypes, and test setups – keeping that operation running smoothly has a direct impact on engineering speed.

About the Role

As the 3D Printing Manager at Droyd, you will own the day-to-day operation of our printing workflow. You will keep printers running, manage materials, and make sure printed parts are produced reliably and on time.

This is a hands- on operational role for someone who likes keeping systems organized, running, and improving over time. You will work closely with engineers and technicians to support rapid hardware iteration.

This role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA.
