On-siteCambridge, Massachusetts, United States or Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Own manufacturability strategy from prototype through volume production for actuators, electromechanical assemblies, and full-robot integration. Develop, validate, and scale assembly, fixturing, tooling, and test processes while partnering with mechanical, electrical, and controls teams to drive yield, cost, and serviceability upstream. Lead new product introduction, including process design, line bring-up, pilot builds, and production ramp with internal teams and external partners. Qualify and manage contract manufacturers and suppliers, establishing quality standards, acceptance criteria, and first-article inspection. Establish manufacturing standards, work instructions, and process controls to drive yield improvement and throughput through strong feedback loops into engineering.
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years in manufacturing or process engineering, delivering complex electromechanical products from prototype through high-volume production
- Strong hands-on experience developing assembly, tooling, fixturing, and test processes for precision electromechanical hardware, and applying DFx (DFM/DFA/DFT)
- Proven experience leading NPI and production ramps, including contract-manufacturer and supplier qualification and management
- Strong command of manufacturing quality and process control—FAI/PPAP, SPC, FMEA, root-cause and CAPA—and yield and cost optimization
- Ability to read and drive mechanical and electrical designs toward manufacturability, including GD&T, tolerance analysis, BOMs, and drawings
- Strong systems thinking, technical leadership, communication, and cross-functional influence
- Must be able to lift 50 lbs
Desired Qualifications
- Direct experience manufacturing robotic systems, ideally humanoid or manipulation robots
- Experience manufacturing high-torque-density actuators, precision drivetrains, or motor/gearbox assemblies at volume
