Job Description
Most manufacturing roles hand you a stable line and ask you to keep it running. This one hands you a line that’s still being built.
My client is one of the best-funded AI robotics companies in the world, and their platform already runs on robots built by some of the largest technology companies. They’re now scaling their own electromechanical hardware from prototype into repeatable production, and they need a Manufacturing Engineering Manager to own that move.
What you’re walking into
A live assembly line, four technicians, a supply chain manager and builds already in flight. The foundations are there. What’s missing is the person who turns them into a real production operation.
