About the role
- This role is for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who specializes in equipment introduction and the end-to-end project management of capital tooling and automation.
- You will hit defined OEE, throughput, and cycle time targets, and transfer clean ownership to production and maintenance after SOP.
Responsibilities
- Own equipment introduction projects end-to-end, from requirements definition and RFQ through vendor selection, FAT, SAT, and ramp to SOP
- Benchmark, select, and manage external line builders and tooling suppliers, holding them accountable to cost, schedule, and performance
- Provide DFM and DFA input on product, process, and tooling designs to ensure manufacturability is engineered in, not bolted on
- Build business cases and ROI analyses to justify capital equipment decisions to senior leadership
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, robotics, and software teammates to ensure equipment integrates into the broader production system
- Proven experience taking products from low-rate prototype builds to high-volume production
- build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
- If you want to build the commercial engine that brings AI-driven manufacturing to every industrial and energy customer in America - this is it.
Requirements
- 5 to 8 years in manufacturing engineering with a track record of taking production equipment from RFQ through FAT, SAT, and SOP in a mass production environment
- Direct experience with robotic or automated assembly systems, either as the product being built or as the production method on the floor
- Working proficiency with 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, or equivalent) sufficient to evaluate vendor designs and provide DFM and DFA input in cross-functional product development
- Experience defining and hitting OEE, cycle time, and yield targets
- Familiarity with lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies
- Experience working within a formal quality management system (AS9100, ISO 9001, or IATF 16949), including participation in PFMEAs, control plans, and PPAP or FAI submissions

Company info
- Foundry Robotics is building an AI-native robotics manufacturing company focused on deploying advanced assembly and production capability for leading robotics companies and national-security-critical hardware. Basically, we're building robots that build robots.
- Factory OS is building software that runs factories. Our platform spans cloud backends, on-prem services, and edge devices deployed on the factory floor. The operators, supervisors, and managers who use our tools need interfaces that are fast, reliable, and intuitive-even when network conditions aren't perfect and the environment is demanding.
- This role is for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who specializes in equipment introduction and the end-to-end project management of capital tooling and automation. You will own the path from production requirement to running line, driving the RFQ process, selecting and benchmarking equipment across the vendor landscape, managing external line builders through design and build, and commissioning equipment on the floor through FAT, SAT, and ramp. You will hit defined OEE, throughput, and cycle time targets, and transfer clean ownership to production and maintenance after SOP. You are equally comfortable in a vendor pre-build meeting and on the shop floor signing off acceptance tests.
