About this role
The American Housing Corporation is on a mission to solve the America’s housing crisis through all-out production. We believe that America’s affordability crisis is fundamentally a production crisis, and that solving it requires a vertically integrated development approach: We buy land, and manufacture, install, and sell our homes directly to customers. This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis.
The American Dream is built, not inherited. We're hiring the best engineers, designers, and builders to solve the hardest problem in America.
As the Head of Manufacturing Engineering, you will be responsible for the manufacturing and assembly of our building system — a proprietary kit-of-parts for building high-quality housing.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- The factory is your product — you will own everything from factory layout, equipment procurement, and factory buildout to commissioning and optimization of the factory
- Build and lead a team of engineers, manufacturing specialists, and technicians to design, build, and operate the manufacturing facility to produce our building system
- Collaborate with mechanical engineering and architecture teams to refine our kit-of-parts for manufacturability
- Obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and approvals for the manufacturing facilities
- Manage supply chain, quality, assembly, and delivery — work with company leadership to hire for these roles in the near future
- Establish and track KPIs to understand how our engineering and manufacturing decisions are impacting the quality and cost of our buildings
- Manage manufacturing budget, work with company leadership to project future capital requirements
QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of experience in hardware development with 3+ years in a leadership role
- Strong technical background in mechanical design, structural analysis, DFMA, and production
- Proven experience delivering large complex hardware products from low-rate prototypes to full-rate production
- Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
- Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and leadership skills
- Bachelor of Science or higher degree in a technical discipline preferred, not required

RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
