Responsibilities
Lead the end-to-end delivery of key manufacturing initiatives, moving from project identification and scoping through to hardware commissioning and stabilization
Identify and eliminate production bottlenecks by conducting technical studies and first-principles analysis of factory performance
Optimize material and assembly flow across the microfactory to minimize "touches," reduce cycle times, and drive down total hours-per-home
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders—including Automation, Software, Product Design, and Operations—to ensure new housing designs are optimized for automated production
Drive the integration of software-driven workcells, collaborating with internal teams to deploy sensors, MES capabilities, and real-time performance dashboards
Manage external vendors, integrators, and contractors to deliver large-scale capital projects on schedule and within budget
Develop and execute roadmaps for scaling factory metrics, ensuring the "1 to N" expansion is supported by repeatable, data-driven processes
Construct quantitative models of workcell performance to benchmark Reframe’s processes against industry standards and justify technical investments
Proactively anticipate future business needs, proposing technical solutions to capacity constraints before they impact the production schedule
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, or related technical field)
Proven experience in '0 to 1' and '1 to N' environments, having successfully launched or scaled production lines from the ground up
Demonstrated ability to deliver complex technical projects involving hardware, automation, or integrated software systems
Deep understanding of manufacturing flow, including line balancing, throughput calculations, and bottleneck analysis (Theory of Constraints)
Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to influence design decisions and technical roadmaps across multiple engineering disciplines
Data-driven decision-making skills, with experience collecting and analyzing factory floor data to drive engineering changes
Hands-on experience in a production or industrial setting; you are comfortable in the trenches alongside the production team
Preferred
Experience in industrialized construction, modular housing, or large-scale assembly (aerospace/automotive)
Experience implementing robotic workcells or large-scale gantry systems
Familiarity with factory design and facility construction for high-growth startups
