Staff Process Industrial Engineer – Factory LaunchOur mission is to create advanced robots that can operate in complex environments, reducing human risk in conflict zones and enhancing efficiency in labor-intensive industries.We are on the lookout for extraordinary engineers and scientists to join our team. Your previous experience in robotics isn't a prerequisite — it's your talent and determination that truly count.We expect that many of our team members will bring diverse perspectives from various industries and fields. We are looking for individuals with a proven record of exceptional ability and a history of creating things that work.Our CultureWe like to be frank and honest about who we are, so that people can decide for themselves if this is a culture they resonate with. Please read more about our culture here should join:You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in. We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.You care about aesthetics and design inside out. If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to “fix” it.You don't need someone to motivate you; you get things done.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:Design and develop manufacturing processes for humanoid robot production, including:Battery pack assemblyBody assemblyFinal robot assemblyCreate scalable standard work, process documentation, and workstation designs.Design the Manufacturing SystemDevelop the production architecture for the factory, including:Assembly flowMaterial FlowLine balanceEnsure the factory can support aggressive production ramp targets.Support Factory LaunchWork directly on the factory floor during launch to:Validate manufacturing processesDebug production issuesImprove build cycle time and yieldDrive Continuous Process ImprovementIdentify bottlenecks and implement improvements to:Reduce cycle timeImprove build qualityIncrease production throughputWhat We're Looking For8+ years experience in manufacturing or industrial engineeringStrong experience developing assembly processesExperience with production line design and line balancingHands-on mindset with the ability to solve problems on the factory floorIdeal BackgroundRobotics manufacturingEV or Aerospace productionHigh-mix electromechanical assemblyFactory launch or production rampFoundation Hardcore RequirementsFoundation 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 outcomesSolves problems quickly and directlyWorks effectively under pressureIs willing to step outside defined roles to keep production movingPrioritizes execution and resultsImpactThe processes you design will define how humanoid robots are built at scale.This role directly enables:We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.The annual compensation is expected to be between $145,000+. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.#J-18808-Ljbffr
