Industrial Engineer

Avride • Austin, TX

About The Position

As our Industrial Engineer, you will be the primary architect of our production efficiency. Your mission is to scale our in-house autonomous vehicle assembly. You will bridge the gap between "perfect on paper" designs and "flawless in execution" reality.

Requirements

• Technical Foundation: 2–3 years of hands-on experience in Mechanical and Electrical design. You should be comfortable reading complex schematics and understanding the integration of sensors, compute units, and automotive hardware.
• Manufacturing Expertise: 1–3 years of experience in a production environment (Automotive, Robotics, or Aerospace preferred).
• Problem-Solving Toolkit: Proven experience with time studies, bottleneck analysis, and process mapping.
• Education: B.S. in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

Nice To Haves

• Startup Mindset: You thrive in ambiguity. You are "scrappy," comfortable wearing multiple hats, and prefer building a process from scratch rather than just following a manual.
• Austin Local/Relocator: You are excited to be part of the Central Texas "Silicon Hills" manufacturing revolution.
• Data-Driven: You make decisions based on metrics and floor-level observations, not assumptions.

Responsibilities

• Factory Scaling & Optimization: Design, implement, and continuously improve production layouts. You will utilize Lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste, reduce cycle times, and maximize the throughput of our Austin facility.
• Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Act as the critical link between the R&D and Production teams. You will review mechanical and electrical designs to ensure they are optimized for repeatable, cost-effective assembly without sacrificing performance.
• Quality Assurance & Root Cause Analysis: Lead the charge in identifying and resolving assembly-line quality issues. You will implement robust CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) to ensure every vehicle meets stringent safety and performance standards.
• Integrated Logistics & Warehouse Strategy: Coordinate with internal logistics and warehouse teams to optimize material flow. You will design "Kitting" processes and Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery systems to ensure the assembly line never stops.
