First Manufacturing Engineer

What you'll be working on

• Taking the lead on building + scaling production of our state-of-the-art robotic systems that assemble solar farms in the field
• Collaborating with design engineers to ensure systems are manufacturable, cost-effective, and easy to assemble
• Developing and maintaining manufacturing documentation, drawings, and BOMs
• Supporting part qualification, incoming inspection, and supplier quality initiatives
• Making it faster and easier to build our robots and, in turn, accelerate the deployment of clean energy

• Understand how to read and create mechanical drawings and manufacturing documentation
• Have a strong ability to communicate clearly (written/verbal) with engineers, suppliers, technicians, and leadership
• Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
• Are open to ~10% travel to field (solar construction sites) to work directly with our product in its deployment environment
• Are excited to see our robots deployed onto actual solar farms!

Nice to have

• Have a degree in a related field
• Have used ION manufacturing software before
• Have experience sourcing and qualifying suppliers & contract manufacturers
• Are familiar with DFM, DFA, and/or GD&T principles
