Manufacturing Engineer

Who you are

• Hands-on process builder who works directly with technicians to build, measure, and iterate
• Data-driven decision maker using capability, yield, and inspection data to solve ambiguous problems
• Strong DFM and DFA instincts with the ability to influence product design for manufacturability
• End-to-end owner who drives processes from concept through qualified production
• Clear cross-functional communicator across design, quality, supply chain, suppliers, and production
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years with a Bachelor’s or 3+ years with a Master’s in manufacturing engineering for mechanical or electromechanical products
• Hands-on experience developing precision assembly processes from prototype through production and sustaining
• Proficiency with CAD, drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, tooling/fixture design, DFM/DFA, and statistical process validation
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot manufacturing issues to root cause and implement production-ready controls and corrective actions
• Experience manufacturing robots, actuators, or other high-complexity electromechanical assemblies
• Experience scaling a low-volume, high-mix process into repeatable higher-volume production using lean manufacturing, line balancing, automation, and traceability systems
• Experience partnering with suppliers and contract manufacturers on process feasibility, tooling reviews, first-article builds, and production readiness

What the job involves

• The Hands Manufacturing group transforms visionary engineering into scalable, highly reliable hardware. We are architecting the foundational processes and complex systems for the planet’s most sophisticated humanoid hands and authoring the production playbook as we go
• Our team operates with extreme velocity, a relentless focus on detail, and zero ego. By partnering deeply with cross-functional peers, we dismantle ambiguity to make the impossible a tangible reality
• Build the manufacturing systems that bring 1X robots to scale
• You will own critical processes from prototype through production, developing robust machining, assembly, inspection, and validation methods that improve quality, throughput, and repeatability
• Many of these problems have not been solved before. You will question convention, test ideas quickly, learn from the floor, and turn what works into dependable production systems. The standard is high, the feedback is physical, and no one is above picking up a tool
• Your work will directly shape the production readiness, hardware quality, and long-term scalability of 1X robotic systems
• Own manufacturing readiness for hand assemblies from prototype through production ramp
• Improve first-pass yield and process capability while reducing variation, scrap, and rework
• Own cycle time, throughput, and cost for assigned manufacturing stations
• Develop and release qualified tooling, fixtures, gauges, and stations with validated processes and controls
• Drive manufacturing issues to root cause and implement durable corrective actions

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
