Manufacturing Engineer: Scale Robotic Production & Processes

Weave Robotics, Inc.; San Francisco, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Weave Robotics, Inc. is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to scale production across assembly, tooling, and process transitions. You will drive from prototype to volume manufacturing, define fixtures, qualify tooling, and manage suppliers to meet throughput and cost targets.

The role requires hands-on experience with multiple processes, CAD proficiency, and a track record of defining process changes that improve yield and time-to-market on electromechanical products.

Qualifications

• 3+ years taking electromechanical or consumer products from prototype into volume manufacturing.
• Hands-on DFM experience across at least three of: injection molding, die casting, CNC machining, stamping/sheet metal, additive manufacturing, softgoods/sewn products.
• Experience specifying and qualifying production tooling and lived through a first article that came back wrong.
• Supplier experience quoting, selecting and managing part suppliers, including reading their capabilities.
• Ability to defend tooling decisions with a break-even calculation.
• CAD proficiency with GD&T (SolidWorks, OnShape or similar).

Responsibilities

• Own process transitions: Move parts from prototype processes to production ones: 3D printing to injection molding, machining to die casting or stamping, hand-cut fabric prototypes to tooled and sewn softgoods production.
• Drive DFM: Review and redline part designs with design engineers for the target process: draft, wall thickness, tolerances, gates and parting lines for molding; machining allowances and datum schemes for casting; patterning and seam design for softgoods.
• Own tooling: Specify, quote, and qualify molds, dies, and fixtures. Manage tool timelines, first articles, and revisions against part changes still in flight.
• Qualify suppliers: Select and develop vendors for molded, cast, stamped, and sewn parts. Run first-article inspection and drive corrective action when parts arrive wrong.
• Model cost and track throughput: Maintain per-part and per-process cost models so process decisions are made on numbers: tooling amortization, piece price, and yield at each volume.
• Support the floor: Design fixtures and improve assembly processes for the parts you transition, so a process change lands on the line without a schedule miss.
• Manage bridge production: Keep parts flowing on the old process while the new one qualifies, and cut over cleanly.
