  • You will have meaningful ownership, limited existing infrastructure, and the support to build a production system that can grow with the company
  • Join us to reimagine the future of human-robot interaction
  • Collaborative Robotics is a team of innovators and builders redefining the future of human-robot interaction. We are working to realize a world where robots are a trusted extension of your surroundings. They work, adapt, and react around you. Not the other way around

  • Define the fixture design philosophy for the line
  • Serve as the primary link between the build floor and hardware design, flagging hard-to-build decisions and driving specific alternatives to closure
  • Run process FMEA on new and changed build steps to get ahead of likely failure modes before they become chronic
  • Build the root-cause and defect-closure system, instrument how issues get discovered, root-caused and closed
  • Define the metrics infrastructure, run time studies, identify bottleneck stations, and instrument the line to produce real cycle time, first-pass yield, and scrap data- Fluency with DFM/DFA principles and influencing engineering design decisions
  • Direct experience standing up a new production line or NPI (new product introduction) process, ideally at low-to-mid volume with active product iteration
  • Experience with data analysis and metrics for production lines

  • Experience in both a CM/EMS environment and an in-house build environment
  • CAD proficiency (fixture design) and familiarity with rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting, basic machining) for quick fixture iteration
  • Experience mentoring or setting technical direction for other process/manufacturing engineers
