Job summary

True Anomaly seeks a technical heavyweight to shape the physical backbone of its production systems near Long Beach, CA. You think in systems and will be the force multiplier for our Production Engineering team, driving smarter layouts, scalable facilities, and cost-conscious design.

You will lead master planning, coordinate with internal and external partners, and ensure facilities standards that support growth while prioritizing safety and productivity across sites.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in manufacturing or critical infrastructure design.
• Degree in architecture, engineering, or construction.
• Deep technical fluency in production line design, infrastructure requirements, and manufacturing facility build-out.
• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity and drive progress with incomplete information.
• Experience with long-term master planning and managing long-lead requirements.
• Proven ability to evaluate and rethink layouts against long-term operational objectives.
• Track record of driving cost, flexibility, throughput, and speed gains through smart layout and engineering decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to hold external vendors and cross-functional partners accountable to data and deliverables.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and govern facility standards across multiple sites.
• Experience partnering closely with manufacturing or production engineering teams.
• Experience scaling production facilities in a high-growth environment.
• Ability to own projects from concept through commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Lead the strategic design and build-out of the facilities components of the manufacturing/production pipeline, working hand-in-hand with Production Engineering to determine infrastructure requirements and line design.
• Navigate ambiguity by partnering with internal and external stakeholders to drive progress even when design inputs are incomplete.
• Support long-term master planning to determine where engineering programs are best located, getting ahead of long-lead requirements before they constrain the schedule.
• Challenge and pressure-test layouts against long-term objectives, ensuring programming and design serve where production is headed — not just where it is today.
• Drive the manufacturing engineering team toward layout and engineering decisions that maximize flexibility, cost savings, throughput, and speed.
• Hold external vendors — like architects, engineers, contractors — and internal cross-functional partners accountable to providing the data needed to support program requests.
• Develop, implement, and govern production facility standards that ensure consistency, scalability, throughput, and quality across all sites.
• Design and deliver production environments that prioritize growth strategy, worker safety, and productivity across all spaces.
• Own the facilities scope of line build-out projects from concept through commissioning.
