About the role

Leader for Lean Six Sigma initiatives across Squint, driving factory-level process improvement, time studies, and playbooks to enable AI-enabled continuous improvement in manufacturing operations.

Responsibilities

  • Define how the world will manufacture with AI. Build the playbook that applies Lean Six Sigma rigor to any customer, in any industry, facing any situation: a discovery process that diagnoses the current state, helps Squint identify the plant's bottleneck, and delivers measurable value at first use, before pricing ever comes up. The processes and playbooks you author become the standard our sales, deployment, and product teams operate by.
  • With sales: build the go-to-market playbook for AI on the factory floor. Join pre-sales conversations alongside our sales team and build the process that lets us reliably understand a factory's bottleneck, choose the right use case, and speak the customer's language from the first call.
  • With deployment: make pilots pay off. Work inside live customer pilots, learn what works and what doesn't, and build the playbook our deployment team uses to reliably turn any pilot into delivered improvement.
  • With engineering and product: be the operator in the room. Sit with our engineers several times a week to work through real use cases, annotate gold-standard time studies, build the evaluation sets our models are graded against, and shape what gets built for each customer segment.
  • With marketing: be the industry voice. Serve as the resident manufacturing expert behind our copy, product marketing, and webinars, and represent Squint on conference stages.

Qualifications

  • Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt certification.
  • Roughly 6 to 10 years inside manufacturing operations, or consulting to manufacturers where you owned the outcome rather than the recommendation.
  • At least one transformation you led that you can walk us through end to end, with the numbers.
  • Daily, hands-on use of AI tools in your own work.
  • Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate, with frequent travel to customer sites.
