Qualifications

• Demonstrated track record of hitting production targets while maintaining quality and safety standards.
• Working fluency in production planning, quality systems, and safety practices (e.g., standard work, defect tracking, lockout/tagout, PPE compliance).

• Available to work on-site in Hayward or San Carlos, on a day or swing shift.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a production team that is trained, accountable, and engaged — measured by retention, cross-training coverage, and team-level performance against plan.
• Drive defect rates and rework down quarter over quarter through root-cause problem solving, process control, and tight feedback loops with Quality and Engineering.
• Own floor safety as a non-negotiable — zero preventable incidents, full compliance with safety protocols, and a culture where the team raises issues early.
• Surface and lead at least one meaningful process improvement per quarter — something that measurably improves cycle time, ergonomics, quality, or cost.
