Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own the launch: take the factory from installation through first units to rate production against a dated ramp.
  • Run the launch war room: readiness across equipment, people, parts, and quality tracked daily to green.
  • Force the cross-functional calls: what ships, what slips, and what gets fixed this week.
  • Build the launch playbook so the second factory launches faster than the first.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've launched manufacturing lines or plants to rate, and hit the curve.
  • You've run launch readiness across every function without owning any of them.
  • You make the call in the gray zone and stand behind it.
  • You've recovered a launch that was going sideways.
  • You document the playbook while running the play.
  • Bonus: Greenfield launches. Heavy or modular products. APQP frameworks. Multi-plant rollouts.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
