About the Role

You will define and optimize manufacturing processes for advanced robotic systems. You will provide manufacturability input during product definition, develop production equipment, establish assembly and quality processes, support launches and production ramp-ups, investigate failures, and implement process improvements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in hardware manufacturing and production.
• Expertise in mechanical assembly, electrical integration, sealing, torque tools, testing, troubleshooting, and quality control methods.
• Manufacturing engineering fundamentals, data-driven root cause analysis, and process improvement skills.
• Experience with 3D and 2D CAD, GD&T, and SPC.
• Ability to execute hands-on engineering tasks independently.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong English communication skills; Mandarin is highly preferred.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed.
• Ability to work flexible hours and schedules as required.

Responsibilities

• Provide design teams with manufacturability, assembly, testing, and tooling input.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles and resolve manufacturability issues before production release.
• Define assembly sequences, work instructions, tooling requirements, and critical process and quality parameters.
• Validate manufacturing processes before production release.
• Lead manufacturing readiness for product launches, upgrades, and component changes.
• Support tooling and equipment specification, validation, commissioning, and production ramp-up.
• Incorporate safety, quality, resource utilization, and preventive-maintenance requirements into process and equipment design.
• Synchronize priorities with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Investigate manufacturing defects and process failures and implement corrective actions.
• Track improvements in yield, cycle time, and cost.
• Assess engineering-change impacts and update process documentation and tooling.
• Track risk-mitigation actions through implementation.

Benefits

• Stock options/equity programs.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan.
• Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
