Manufacturing Engineer

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to own the manufacture, assembly, and scale-up of the robotic hardware that powers our company. As we move from our first facility to a global fleet, you will turn engineering prototypes into reliable, repeatable, manufacturable systems — and build the processes that let us produce them at pace and at quality.

What sets this role apart is that you are not maintaining a mature line — you are building how we manufacture our platform, with direct influence on the hardware itself.

If turning ambitious hardware into a repeatable, scalable reality sounds like the right shape of job for you, we’d love to welcome you to our team.

Key Responsibilities

• Take robotic and instrument hardware from prototype to repeatable production, owning build and assembly processes.
• Drive design-for-manufacture and design-for-assembly feedback back into the hardware teams.
• Develop and document assembly procedures, test rigs, jigs/fixtures, and acceptance/QC criteria.
• Manage build quality, troubleshoot issues on the floor, and drive continuous improvement.
• Work with supply chain on components, BOMs, tolerances, and supplier quality.
• Support installation, commissioning, and bring-up of systems
• Work with contract manufactures to manage build quality, troubleshoot issues on the floor, and drive continuous improvement.

About You

You are a hands-on manufacturing engineer who is as comfortable on the workshop floor as in a design review. You like turning one-off builds into repeatable processes, and you are rigorous about quality and documentation without losing pragmatism.

We expect you to bring:

• 3–5+ years in manufacturing, production, or mechanical/automation engineering, ideally for complex electromechanical or robotic hardware.
• Hands-on experience with assembly processes, DFM/DFA, fixturing, test, and QC.
• Comfort reading mechanical drawings and working closely with design engineers.
• A practical, problem-solving mindset and rigour around process and documentation.
• Familiarity with relevant safety and quality standards in a workshop/production environment.

Beneficial Skills

• Experience scaling hardware from low volume to higher-volume production.
• Exposure to fluidics, pumps, valves, motion systems, or lab instrumentation.
• Lean / continuous-improvement and supplier-management experience.
