About the role
At Weave we're building practical and delightful robots that benefit as many people as possible. We’re already publicly shipping some of the first bimanual robots you can buy, but we’ll be defined as a company by how quickly we can build and ship orders of magnitude more. To that end we’re now growing our assembly and manufacturing teams.
You'll run the floor that builds our robots. Our production process spans machining, wire harness fabrication, actuator subassembly, final assembly, and end-of-line test, and your job is to make it run predictably: robots finished on schedule, built to spec, by a team that knows what good work looks like. You'll work closely with engineering & design teams and own day-to-day execution so the manufacturing organization can keep improving the process while you deliver this week's builds.
Responsibilities
-
Own the build schedule: plan weekly production, sequence work across stations, and hit delivery dates.
-
Manage the production team day to day: Coordinate a team of machinists and assembly technicians: staffing, scheduling, training, and performance. Run daily standups and shift coordination, keeping every station socked, staffed and unblocked.
-
Develop assembly processes: Establish and continuously improve assembly procedures, work instructions, quality checkpoints, and production workflows.
-
Track and report production metrics: Units per week, First pass yield, cycle time per station, rework and scrap trends.
-
Maintain process discipline: Work instructions followed, deviations documented and no undocumented workarounds in the shop.
-
Inventory management: Maintaining supply of parts, planning around part shortages to avoid schedule impact.
