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 Apptronik is building the next generation of humanoid robots, and our supply base must deliver cost-efficient, on-time, premium-quality electromechanical hardware across rapidly evolving designs and increasingly ambitious production volumes. We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer embedded within our Supply Chain organization to serve as the technical authority on supplier manufacturing processes, quality systems, and production readiness for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblies. This is a hands-on manufacturing engineering role — not a procurement or sourcing coordinator position. You will spend significant time on supplier factory floors evaluating processes, resolving production issues, and qualifying new parts from prototype through rate production. The ideal candidate has deep, practical knowledge of how electromechanical hardware is built and inspected, and uses that expertise to make sourcing decisions, drive supplier development, and own production readiness at external manufacturing sites. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES Manufacturing Process Ownership Serve as the internal subject matter expert on manufacturing processes for wire harness assemblies, PCBAs, motor assemblies, actuators, connectors, and other electromechanic
