Manufacturing Process Engineer

About the Company

Foundry Robotics is building an AI-native robotics manufacturing company focused on deploying advanced assembly and production capability for leading robotics companies and national-security-critical hardware. We aim to empower manufacturers with intelligent, efficient, and adaptable robotic systems that redefine productivity and quality.

Responsibilities

• Design and build production processes from scratch for autonomous robotic assembly systems
• Develop and optimize assembly lines with a focus on throughput, yield, and scalability
• Create and own process documentation, work instructions, SOPs, and control plans
• Develop tooling and fixtures that reduce variation and minimize operator error
• Work hands-on on the shop floor to validate processes and identify bottlenecks
• Support relationships with external vendors and contract manufacturers
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and robotics teammates
• Define and track key manufacturing metrics including cycle time, takt time, OEE, and defect rate

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering in a large-volume production environment
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (Solidworks, CATIA, or equivalent)
• Hands-on experience designing tooling and fixtures
• Experience tracking and improving manufacturing metrics (cycle time, takt time, OEE, yield)
• Experience providing DFM/DFA input in a cross-functional environment
• Ability to work both at a desk and on the shop floor

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting vendor or contract manufacturer relationships
• Exposure to robotic or automated assembly systems
• Experience scaling a process from low-rate to high-volume production
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing or Six Sigma methodologies
