Hardware, Manufacturing Engineer

About the Role

You will build the production capability that allows Mecka's data collection to grow. Turning capture hardware into a global source of robot-learning data requires repeatable manufacturing, capable suppliers, and devices that perform consistently. Your work will determine how quickly we can increase output while protecting quality and cost.

Bring depth in production leadership or hands-on process engineering. You will take hardware from development builds into repeatable production, resolving the constraints that limit yield and capacity.

We're looking for depth in one or both of these areas:

• Manufacturing program leadership: production readiness, supplier engineering, capacity planning, and product quality.
• Process development: assembly, joining, interconnects, calibration, fixtures, and production testing.

What You'll Do

• Develop production readiness and capacity plans with suppliers, aligning assembly, tooling, quality, and delivery requirements.
• Build and qualify fixtures, calibration equipment, and production tests with engineering teams and suppliers.
• Use yield, cycle-time, and failure data to find production constraints and verify corrective actions.
• Improve designs for manufacturing.
• Establish repair, rework, and requalification processes that return devices to service.
• Guide suppliers through technical reviews, process qualification, and changes that improve quality, output, and cost.

What You Bring

Must-have:

• Experience taking electronic hardware, sensors, or wearable products from development builds into production.
• Hands-on skills in assembly process development, fixture design, production testing, and factory troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of process qualification, measurement repeatability, statistical process control, and supplier quality.
• Ability to connect manufacturing variation to physical defects and changes in product performance.
• Experience working with engineers and suppliers to document processes.
• Ability to travel frequently to Shenzhen.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with flexible circuits, textiles, adhesives, sensor calibration, or repair operations.

About You

• You are ambitious about what you build. You can point to results you personally delivered.
• You care deeply about your craft, pursue difficult questions, and learn quickly.
• You take initiative and own problems through to results. You work independently, make decisions, and bring others in when needed.
• You communicate honestly. You own mistakes, share credit, and help the people around you succeed.
