About the role
- We're looking for a Manufacturing & Process Engineering Manager to own how we build our robots - from process design through continuous improvement on the floor.
- You'll inherit a small, early-stage team and build the function from the ground up: establishing engineering standards, closing the loop between product design and production, and driving automation wherever it creates leverage.
- This is a player-coach role.
Responsibilities
- Lead design-for-manufacturability reviews in partnership with product and mechanical engineering, catching issues before they hit the floor
- Define, document, and own manufacturing processes for new and existing robot assemblies
- Design and qualify fixtures, tooling, and work-holding solutions that enable consistent, repeatable assembly
- Identify and implement automation opportunities across assembly, test, and material handling
- Own quality and throughput improvement initiatives on the production floor - set the baseline, identify root causes, drive measurable change
- Build and maintain process documentation (work instructions, BOMs, routings) to a production-ready standard
- Partner with the Operations team to translate process improvements into floor execution
- Team & Function Building
- Manage and develop 3-4 engineers today, with a clear mandate to grow the team as production scales
- Build the cross-functional relationships - with product, quality, and operations - that make the function effective
Requirements
- 7+ years in manufacturing or process engineering, with at least 2 years managing engineers
- Hands-on experience with DFM/DFA, fixture design, and process documentation at a production level
- Strong working knowledge of automation systems and a demonstrated instinct for where to apply them
- Track record of measurable quality and throughput improvements - you know how to scope an initiative and see it through
- This role will be required to come into our Glen Cove, NY robotics factory 5 days/week
Nice to have
- Familiarity with MES, ERP, or manufacturing data systems in an industrial context
- Exposure to sheet metal, machined components, PCB assembly, or mixed-process manufacturing
Compensation
- Experience scaling from low-volume prototype to higher-volume production (thousands of units annually)
