Description

As a Staff Process / Industrial Engineer, you will define how humanoid robots are built in the factory—from workstation architecture to production flow and line balance. You will work closely with design engineering and operations to transform product designs into scalable, repeatable manufacturing processes. Your work will directly determine how quickly we can launch the factory and how efficiently we can ramp production. What You’ll Do: Define Robot Build Processes Design and develop manufacturing processes for humanoid robot production, including: Actuator assembly Battery pack assembly Body assembly Final robot assembly Create scalable standard work, process documentation, and workstation designs. Design the Manufacturing System Develop the production architecture for the factory, including: Assembly flow Material Flow Line balance Takt time Labor models Workstation layout Ensure the factory can support aggressive production ramp targets. Support Factory Launch Work directly on the factory floor during launch to: Support pilot builds Validate manufacturing processes Debug production issues Improve build cycle time and yield Drive Continuous Process Improvement Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements to: Reduce cycle time Improve build quality Increase production throughput What We’re Looking For 8+ years experience in manufacturing or industrial engineering Strong experience developing assembly processes Experience with production line design and line balancing Hands-on mindset with the ability to solve problems on the factory floor Ideal Background Robotics manufacturing EV or Aerospace production High-mix electromechanical assembly Factory launch or production ramp Foundation Hardcore Requirements Foundation operates with a hardcore execution culture. This role requires individuals who are comfortable working in an environment where speed, ownership, and accountability are essential. You must be someone who: Takes ownership of manufacturing outcomes Solves problems quickly and directly Works effectively under pressure Is willing to step outside defined roles to keep production moving Prioritizes execution and results Impact The processes you design will define how humanoid robots are built at scale. This role directly enables: stable production launch scalable manufacturing systems efficient robot production ramp Benefits: We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits. Salary: The annual compensation is expected to be between $145,000+. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.

Responsibilities

This role involves defining the entire manufacturing process for humanoid robots, covering workstation architecture, production flow, and line balancing for scalable and repeatable production. The engineer will design the manufacturing system, including assembly flow and layout, to meet aggressive production ramp targets.
