Responsibilities
Factory & Line Design: Plan and design manufacturing layouts and facilities for the assembly and fabrication of robotic systems. Transition Mytra from manual "stall builds" to optimized, scalable production lines
Process Definition & Scalability: Architect the foundational "Manufacturing Record" by defining sequence of operations, standardizing time studies, and developing robust process maps. You will transform tribal knowledge into scalable, repeatable manufacturing processes that can be deployed across multiple production shifts or secondary facilities
DFM/DFA Leadership: Partner with Hardware Engineering to define requirements and influence product design, ensuring our robots are optimized for high-efficiency assembly, fabrication, and plastics processing
Strategic "Make vs. Buy" Analysis: Conduct rigorous trade-off studies to determine whether to manufacture components and assemblies in-house or leverage external partners. You will evaluate total cost of ownership, lead times, quality risks, and intellectual property considerations to optimize Mytra’s vertical integration strategy, and potential to work with a CM on their line design/bringup
Equipment & Tooling: Lead the design, procurement, and installation of specialized assembly equipment, jigs, fixtures, and automated assembly aids
Capital Equipment & Lifecycle Management: Lead the specification, ROI analysis, and procurement of high-value capital equipment (e.g., robotic work-cells, automated storage systems, and EOL testers). You will own the full vendor relationship, from generating Technical Requirement Documents (TRDs) to overseeing Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and final site integration
Root Cause Analysis & Troubleshooting: Lead the resolution of complex production issues using Six Sigma methodologies (e.g., 8D, DMAIC, 5 Whys). Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurring bottlenecks and quality escapes
Operational Excellence: Propose and lead continuous process improvement initiatives. Use industrial engineering analysis to ensure cycle times and takt times meet our aggressive scaling goals
Supply Chain Integration: Work closely with suppliers and our engineers to develop manufacturing technologies (e.g., roll forming, stamping) and ensure seamless material flow into General Assembly
Team Leadership: Build and mentor a team of Manufacturing Engineers and Technicians. Manage project timelines, budgets, and the ramp-up from concept to mass production
