You will take a data‑driven approach to designing production workstations and manufacturing processes to meet these objectives and collaborate with teams across Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Business Operations.

What You’ll Do

• Design, document and implement efficient manufacturing processes to meet both new product development (NPI) and full‑rate production goals through the development of process workflows and detailed work instructions.
• Proactively identify imbalances and bottlenecks caused by line layout, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints by understanding cycle time and quality metrics.
• Provide technical guidance to the production team and act as a liaison between engineering, supply chain and other departments to ensure project success.
• Collaborate with the Quality team to set quality standards, implement inspection processes and analyze product specifications to ensure manufacturing capabilities align with quality requirements.
• Organize and participate in workshops to generate new ideas that solve complex manufacturing issues.
• Foster a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge sharing and team engagement.
• Adhere to all health and safety regulations, promoting a culture of safety within the manufacturing environment.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years experience in a manufacturing environment where complex electrical assemblies were built.
• Solid understanding of hardware manufacturing processes for electronics (PCBAs, sensor hardware, battery power systems, cable harnesses etc.) and electromechanical systems.
• Demonstrated ability to own a product in manufacturing from start to finish; coordinating among multiple internal and external parties to achieve on‑time deliveries under stringent quality standards.
• Experience analysing material flow around a facility, including pull systems, Kanban, Min/Max calculations, part presentation to operator and line‑side racking.
• Prior knowledge and interaction with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production operations.
• Prior knowledge of Oracle, NetSuite or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
• Strong technical ability to read technical documentation such as electrical schematic drawings, 3D CAD files.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Production line design and set up – Value Stream mapping, material flow lines, one‑piece flow, workstation design.
• Experience with CAD and production simulation software (Solidworks, Siemens/Teamcenter/PlantSim/ProcessSim).
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and implementation.

Salary Range

$111,000—$147,000 USD.

Benefits

• Competitive equity grants included in the majority of full‑time offers and considered part of the total compensation package.
• Top‑tier benefits for full‑time employees, available at little to no cost to employees, covering health, recovery, and other support services.
