What you'll do- Design and implement upfitting and assembly lines for new production locations: station design, layout, material flow, work instructions, and ramp support
- Analyze existing manufacturing flows for custom computer builds and retrofit kit manufacturing through time and motion studies, line balancing, and takt and cycle analysis, then implement the improvements you identify
- Own production floor layout across facilities and optimize flow between kitting and assembly operations
- Drive continuous improvement on build time, yield, and ergonomics by optimizing workstation layout and implementing solutions developed with technician feedback and the engineering team
- Design and build production tooling, jigs, and fixtures that improve quality and repeatability
- Create and maintain version-controlled work instructions, SOPs, and process documentation in partnership with hardware engineering
- Define and track process metrics (cycle time, first-pass yield, defect rates) and use the data to prioritize what gets fixed next
- Work daily with technicians on the floor to capture process knowledge and turn it into implemented improvements
- Partner with hardware and NPI engineering as new designs transfer into production, feeding back manufacturability learnings from the line
- Replicate proven production processes to new sites as we scale
What we're looking for- 5+ years in manufacturing, industrial, or process engineering in production-heavy environments (automotive, aerospace, robotics, EV, industrial equipment)
- Degree in industrial, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering, or equivalent experience
- Hands-on experience with time and motion studies, line balancing, and factory layout design
- Experience taking production from prototype or low volume to scaled output
- Working command of lean tools: value stream mapping, kaizen, 5S, root cause analysis
- Comfortable on the production floor and equally comfortable in the data: spreadsheets, ERP/MRP systems
- Strong communicator across technicians, engineers, and leadership
- Highly analytical, data-driven, and genuinely open to learning from the people who run the process every day
