Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Supports manufacturing of autonomous delivery aircraft, docks, and logistics hardware. Designs fixtures, gauges, tooling, and workstations; develops and validates production processes; analyzes manufacturing data; investigates quality and production issues; writes work instructions; supports training, design-for-manufacturing, capacity planning, and production readiness. The role is intended for new graduates and early-career engineers with hands-on manufacturing experience and technical guidance.

Own the development, validation, release, and sustainment of assembly and feeder-subassembly production lines for complex electro-mechanical aerospace products. Design tooling and workstations, define assembly processes and controls, investigate production issues, improve yield and throughput, lead design-for-manufacturing decisions, create work instructions, train technicians, and coordinate cross-functional production ramps.

Develops factory capacity and capital-investment plans, identifies and removes manufacturing bottlenecks, conducts time studies, balances production lines, defines standard work, improves layouts and material flow, and establishes performance KPIs. Partners with manufacturing, production, supply chain, and planning teams to improve throughput, utilization, cycle time, labor efficiency, lead time, and cost while scaling electromechanical production systems.

Own and scale electromechanical assembly and feeder-subassembly production lines from process definition through validation, release, and sustainment. Design and commission tooling, fixtures, workstations, and operator flows; develop PFMEAs, control plans, SPC, capability studies, SOPs, and training. Improve yield, throughput, reliability, takt time, and quality costs while investigating production issues and implementing corrective actions. Coordinate with engineering, quality, supply chain, maintenance, and operations to deliver validated, stable production.

Designs, integrates, commissions, and improves production equipment and tooling for aircraft, battery packs, docks, and electro-mechanical subsystems. Responsibilities include CAD, mechanism and automation design, vendor coordination, factory-floor debugging, acceptance testing, safety compliance, and production release. The role targets improvements in throughput, tooling uptime, cycle time, and first-pass yield while coordinating with engineering, quality, supply chain, and field operations teams.

Designs, delivers, validates, and sustains mechanical production-test fixtures and calibration stations for aircraft, docks, pods, and subassemblies. Integrates sensors, actuators, instrumentation, harnesses, safety systems, and test automation with electrical and software teams. Troubleshoots factory-floor issues, improves yield, cycle time, tester uptime, and false-fail rates, and maintains production-readiness documentation. The role requires hands-on manufacturing-floor support, vendor coordination, validation, and cross-functional launch participation.

Develops and commissions controls and electrical interfaces for production fixtures, workstations, automation, and test equipment. Owns equipment delivery from requirements through vendor build, acceptance, commissioning, and production support. Diagnoses faults, integrates sensors and actuators, improves throughput and first-pass yield, and collaborates with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, test, and field teams. The role requires substantial factory-floor presence, occasional off-hours commissioning, and up to 15% travel.

Owns the design, delivery, validation, and sustainment of automated electrical and functional production testers for aircraft, docks, pods, and subassemblies. Develops instrumentation, harnesses, interfaces, data pipelines, and test automation while debugging PCBA and tester issues. Partners cross-functionally on acceptance criteria, calibration, launches, vendor builds, documentation, and production readiness. Improves yield, cycle time, tester uptime, false-fail rates, traceability, and manufacturing throughput through hands-on factory-floor support.

Design, integrate, commission, and improve production automation for aircraft, batteries, docks, and flight-critical subsystems. The role owns equipment requirements, vendor coordination, tooling design, factory-floor debugging, acceptance testing, operator training, and production deployment. Success is measured through cycle-time, uptime, first-pass yield, maintainability, and cost improvements. The engineer collaborates across design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, testing, and field operations, with regular onsite work, occasional off-hours commissioning, and up to 15% travel.

Designs and improves factory layouts, work methods, capacity models, and production systems. Conducts time studies, defines standard work, balances production lines, identifies bottlenecks, and develops labor, equipment, space, and capital-investment scenarios. Partners with manufacturing, production, supply chain, and planning teams to improve throughput, utilization, cycle time, labor efficiency, cost, inventory, and lead time. Builds KPIs, decision tools, financial models, and implementation plans for factory scaling.
