This is a hands-on, on-site role that requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams and external manufacturing partners.
Lead the end-to-end manufacturing process for integrating autonomy hardware into trucks.
Develop and maintain assembly procedures, inspection checklists, and documentation to ensure build consistency and traceability.
Collaborate closely with the design, integration, and production teams to rapidly resolve build issues and implement corrective actions.
Define and implement QA processes including inspection plans, failure analysis protocols, and defect tracking.
Analyze quality data and product metrics to identify trends, systemic issues, and opportunities for improvement.
Lead build events and validation activities, including first article inspections and in-process audits.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing and QA processes to increase reliability and throughput.
Serve as a key technical resource at the manufacturing site, escalating issues and coordinating solutions with internal engineering teams.
Collaborate with Contract Manufacturer to establish processes
Perform various tests and inspections on raw materials, parts and finished trucks to verify that specified processes are met
Ensure and adhere to industry standards, regulations, and company policies
Requirements
7+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, or related roles in automotive, aerospace, or hardware tech industries.
