Full Job Description
Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond. We operate at the cutting edge of embodied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems. You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better. JOB SUMMARY The Industrial Engineer is responsible for designing, optimizing, and documenting the entire manufacturing system for new hardware products. This role ensures the facility, workflow, staffing, and documentation are designed for maximum efficiency, minimum cost, and scalable production volume. You will bridge the gap between a high-tech prototype and a high-volume repeatable manufacturing reality. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES System Design & Line Flow: Design and optimize the physical factory and line layouts to support the new product, ensuring efficient material flow, logistics, and minimal waste based on Lean principles. Standard Work & Documentation: Own the creation of all high-level Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and detailed Work Instructions (WIs). Use time studies, standard work methodology, and ergonomics principles to define the most efficient and repeatable operator tasks. Capacity & Cost Modeling: Develop detailed capacity models, line balancing plans, and financial models to accurately predict labor costs, cycle times, and capital expenditure (CapEx) needs to meet target production volumes. Time & Motion Studies: Conduct formal time studies and value stream mapping during prototype and pilot builds to identify and eliminate non-value-added a
