Senior Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer — Humanoid Robot Factory
About The Position
We are building the manufacturing system that will scale humanoid robots into the real world. This role exists to turn engineering intent into production reality — fast. You will design, build, and launch manufacturing systems that take complex electromechanical products from prototype to repeatable, scalable production. This is not a maintenance role. This is a factory-building role. We are looking for someone who has already lived through high-pressure manufacturing ramps — ideally in EV drive unit, battery module, or battery pack production — and understands what it takes to deliver when timelines are aggressive and ambiguity is high.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- 8+ years building and launching manufacturing systems in advanced hardware environments.
- Proven track record bringing lines from concept → pilot → production ramp.
- Deep hands-on experience with: EV drive unit manufacturing Battery module or battery pack manufacturing Automated assembly and production tooling
- Strong experience with assembly line design, takt planning, and manufacturing scaling.
- Experience designing and deploying end-of-line testing systems.
- Comfortable working directly on the factory floor to resolve issues.
Nice To Haves
- Robotics or humanoid manufacturing experience.
- Startup or high-growth production environments.
- Automation integration, industrial robotics, and controls exposure.
- Experience scaling complex electromechanical systems under aggressive timelines.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design of humanoid robot manufacturing lines and production cells.
- Build scalable manufacturing systems designed for aggressive robot-per-day ramp targets.
- Define factory layout, material flow, line balance, takt time, and staffing strategy.
- Make practical engineering tradeoffs between automation, flexibility, and speed.
- Architect and deploy automated and semi-automated assembly lines.
- Design production tooling, fixtures, and error-proofing systems that work reliably on real factory floors.
- Drive automation decisions based on throughput and stability — not automation for its own sake.
- Lead vendor integration and line bring-up with strong execution ownership.
- Apply hands-on experience from EV drive unit, battery module, or battery pack manufacturing.
- Build robust assembly processes for actuators, power systems, and electromechanical subsystems.
- Lead pilot builds, process validation, and production launch.
- Drive aggressive improvements in yield, cycle time, and line stability.
- Design assembly line architecture from subassembly through final robot integration.
- Build end-of-line testing systems validating mechanical, electrical, and functional performance.
- Ensure traceability and data feedback loops that drive rapid problem solving.
- Design test systems that help engineering move faster — not slower.
- Push DFM/DFA decisions early and aggressively.
- Lead PFMEA and production readiness with a bias toward action.
- Solve problems directly on the line when needed.
- Raise execution standards across engineering and manufacturing teams.
Benefits
- We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.
