About the role

And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years.
We're now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon.
You'll thrive here if you move fast, take ownership, and care about the details.

Leading a layered team of production supervisors, lead technicians, and hourly/non-exempt technicians
Developing short-, medium-, and long-range production plans that account for labor capacity, material availability, tooling, and facility constraints
Partnering with Facilities and EHS to maintain a safe, organized, and efficient production environment
Identifying skill gaps on the floor and developing or procure advanced skill programs covering composite fabrication, hand assembly techniques, and quality inspection methods.
Partnering with the People team on workforce relations matters. Developing, communicating, and enforcing team policies in a fair, consistent, and equitable manner
What we're building
The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense.
We're rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles.
We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology.
The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous.

Bachelor's degree or 7+ years of experience working in an aerospace, automotive, aviation, nuclear, or other manufacturing environment
5+ years of demonstrated experience leading production in a high-quality, precision manufacturing environment in a leadership role with direct reports
Strong technical understanding and practical knowledge of manufacturing process, systems integration, and hardware requirements
Experience working in a startup or high-growth manufacturing environment where processes are still maturing and ambiguity is the norm.
