About the role
- Coach engineers on process plan quality, BOM accuracy, and ECO discipline; step in directly on high-priority technical work when needed.
- Encourage the use of analytics, automation, and AI-assisted workflows to improve manufacturing engineering quality, speed, and consistency.
- Manufacturing readiness & product generations
Responsibilities
- You will partner closely with design engineering, production, supply chain, quality, and factory expansion teams to turn evolving product designs into scalable manufacturing processes.
- In the near term, you will help drive manufacturing excellence at Antora's San Jose facility while translating today's production learnings into the processes, equipment, and factory requirements that support Antora's next stage of scale.
- Lead a team of Manufacturing & NPI Engineers; set priorities, run weekly syncs, and manage workload across concurrent product generations and production demands.
- Build and maintain engineering processes, standards, and best practices for manufacturing engineering & NPI at Antora.
- Design for manufacturability (DFM)
- Champion DFM in design reviews: provide manufacturability feedback that influences product architecture for cost, yield, cycle time, and ramp-up speed.
- Lead manufacturing & NPI engineers to be key voices in the room, collaborating with design engineering teams to develop buildable designs early-on when changes are easier to implement and cost less.
- Translate floor-level learnings (yield drivers, scrap modes, ergonomic / takt-time constraints) into upstream design guidance and DFM standards for the next product generations.
- Own the transition of each new product generation from design release into fully launched production including blank-sheet process definition, BOM lock milestones, and EVT (Engineering Verification Test) unit builds.
- Drive facility layout, work center design and commissioning, headcount requirements, and material flow for new product builds and parallel-line launches of existing products.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES); process plan authoring and work order release.
Nice to have
- Background in a product involving precision assembly, electromechanical integration, or thermal/energy systems.
- Familiarity with quality tools: Material Review Board, nonconformance systems, PFMEA, SPC.
- Experience contributing to executive or board-level reporting on manufacturing operations.
- Python or SQL skills
- When it comes to stopping climate change, we need everyone.
