Why RoboForce

RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company's robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.

Responsibilities 

• Bridge the gap between initial concept and full production by providing design teams with critical insights on manufacturability, assembly, testing, and tooling. Apply design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) principles and resolve manufacturability issues before production release.
• Define assembly sequences, work instructions, and tooling requirements; establish critical process and quality parameters; and validate processes before production release.
• Lead manufacturing readiness for new product launches, upgrades, and component changes by coordinating cost targets, resources, and schedules.
• Provide hands-on technical support and collaborate with external integrators and suppliers during tooling and equipment specification, validation, commissioning, and production ramp-up.
• Incorporate requirements for safety, product quality, resource utilization, and preventive maintenance into process and equipment design.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to synchronize priorities.
• Investigate manufacturing defects and process failures, implement corrective actions, and track improvements in yield, cycle time, and cost.
• Assess the manufacturing impact of engineering changes, update process documentation and tooling, and track risk mitigation actions through implementation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in hardware manufacturing and production in fast-paced environments. Background in prototype development, production line design, or robotics is strongly preferred.
• Proven expertise in mechanical assembly, electrical integration, sealing, torque tools, testing and troubleshooting, and quality control methods.
• Strong analytical skills and engineering fundamentals in manufacturing, including data-driven root cause analysis and process improvement.
• Experience with 3D and 2D CAD, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and statistical process control (SPC).
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and execute hands-on engineering tasks in a fast-paced environment.
• Solid organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Commitment to safe working practices and continuous improvement in quality, delivery, and cost.
