SeniorManager,PilotManufacturingOperations

We are looking for an exceptional operational leader for our state-of-the-art prototyping and development facility that co-locates product and manufacturing engineering under one roof to accelerate development. This is a high-mix, high-evolution environment where the product is in active development, and the operational leader must thrive in ambiguity while building robust systems that scale with the program. In this role, you will serve as the pilot operation backbone for the development program across three core domains: (1) owning and executing build campaigns for multiple product iterations, (2) operating a rapid prototyping and testing shop in service of the various engineering teams, and (3) operating manufacturing prototype lines to accelerate manufacturing process development. You will be the design for manufacturing voice, translating engineering intent into build reality and feeding back insights to influence designs. You will be deeply integrated with product design, supply chain, and manufacturing engineering to ensure seamless handoffs and rapid iteration cycles. This role requires a leader who combines an engineering mindset with the ability to build and manage a technician workforce, and who is exceptional at creating effective operational systems — build planning, warehouse management, operational efficiency metrics — all grounded in data. You will use data to drive manufacturing recommendations, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve operational performance. Key job responsibilities Build Operations - Own the end-to-end operation for multiple concurrent build campaigns across product iterations. Develop, maintain, and deliver on the build plan. - Build and maintain effective operational systems for build planning, resource allocation, traceability, yield, industrial analytics, and progress tracking. Establish clear metrics and reporting mechanisms for the team’s visibility. - Manage integration between product design, supply chain, testing a
