Résumé du poste

Planet Green Holdings in the San Francisco Bay Area is hiring a hands-on Manufacturing Engineering Manager to architect and lead our new manufacturing function on-site.

You will own DFM/NPI, production systems, robotics, tooling, and team leadership as we scale automation across high-volume production. This role reports into Operations and requires floor-level presence and strong cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering.
• 5+ years in electromechanical or light industrial assembly environments.
• Proven SOPs, work instructions, and standard work.
• Hands-on experience with automated/robotic assembly systems.
• Strong DFM and NPI experience for manufacturability.
• ERP routing and work order management (Odoo a plus).
• Independent in greenfield or scale-up environments.
• Hands-on on the factory floor.

Responsabilités

• Design for Manufacturability & New Product Introduction; drive ECOs and NPI readiness with zero disruption.
• Production Systems & Factory Execution; own routing, monitor live production, optimize flows.
• Robotics, Automation & Equipment Leadership; lead programming, commissioning, and optimization of robotic cells.
• Tooling, Fixturing & Work Cell Design; specify fixtures/workstations for efficient builds.
• Team Building & Technical Leadership; develop the manufacturing engineering team and ensure training.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to build a manufacturing engineering function from scratch inside a fast-scaling advanced manufacturing company that’s already lighting up over 35 million square feet of mission-critical space across the U.S.

You won’t be maintaining someone else’s processes — you’ll architect them. You’ll stand up SOPs, commission robotic assembly cells, design the tooling and work cells, and create the repeatable systems that turn innovative product designs into high-quality, high-volume production. As the company ramps robotic automation, this role owns the technical bridge between Product Engineering and the factory floor.

If you’re a hands‑on leader who thrives on ownership, enjoys getting on the floor, and wants to shape how a growing operation manufactures for years to come, this seat is open.

What You’ll Own

Design for Manufacturability & New Product Introduction You’ll be the critical link between design intent and real-world buildability. Provide early DFM input so products launch clean, own the full NPI process (first builds, SOP creation, cycle time validation, and production readiness sign-off), and drive ECOs through manufacturing with zero disruption.

Production Systems & Factory Execution Own Work Order structure and routing in the ERP system so every job has clear, accurate sequences and standards. Monitor live production, remove bottlenecks in real time, and serve as the go‑to technical resource for the floor. You’ll turn data into targeted improvements that drive attainment, yield, and speed.

Robotics, Automation & Equipment Leadership This is where it gets interesting. Lead the programming, commissioning, and optimization of robotic assembly cells as the factory scales automation. Own changeovers, recipes, preventive maintenance, and root‑cause troubleshooting. Partner with equipment suppliers on integration and build the roadmap for future automation expansion. You’ll literally be shaping the factory’s automated future.

Tooling, Fixturing & Work Cell Design Design or specify every fixture, jig, and workstation needed for efficient, high‑quality builds. Influence factory layout for flow, ergonomics, and safety. Continuously hunt for better tools and methods that improve quality and throughput.

Team Building & Technical Leadership Build and develop the manufacturing engineering support team as headcount grows. Set the standard for documentation, repeatability, and continuous improvement. Make sure operators are trained and certified before they run independently. You’ll create the culture and capability the factory runs on.

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days

• Every active product has clean, validated SOPs and work instructions before volume production.
• Work Order routing and standards are live in the ERP system and reflect reality.
• Robotic cell programming and equipment commissioning are on track with the factory buildout timeline.
• Product Engineering has a responsive, data‑driven partner for DFM and NPI handoffs.
• The manufacturing engineering support team is hired, aligned, and executing.
• A preventive maintenance program is in place and running for all production equipment.
• You’re the first call when the floor hits a technical problem.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on manufacturing engineering experience.
• 5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in electromechanical, electronics, or light industrial assembly environments.
• Proven track record developing and owning manufacturing SOPs, work instructions, and standard work.
• Hands‑on experience with automated/robotic assembly systems (programming, commissioning, troubleshooting, or integration).
• Strong DFM and NPI experience — you know how to push designs for real‑world manufacturability.
• Comfortable working in ERP systems for routing and work order structure (Odoo experience is a plus).
• You operate independently in greenfield or scale‑up environments, make decisions, and build the playbook as you go.
• You’re genuinely hands‑on — this role lives on the floor, not behind a desk.

Nice to have: Experience in commercial lighting/LED electronics, collaborative or industrial robots (FANUC, KUKA, UR, etc.), SMT/PCB/wire harness processes, lean manufacturing tools, team leadership, or CAD (SolidWorks/AutoCAD) for fixture design.

The Environment

You’ll join a hard‑working, execution‑focused team that actually enjoys building things that matter. The company offers generous healthcare (up to 100% employee coverage), a 401(k), responsible PTO, and the chance to have a visible, lasting impact on how the business scales.
