Production Supervisor - Hands
San Carlos, CA$100k - $130kFull-timePosted 1w ago
About the role
Production Supervisor responsible for the daily rhythm of the assembly floor, ensuring safe, high-quality, on-time production of NEO humanoid robots, and leading a trained, accountable production team.
Responsibilities
- Hit daily and weekly NEO build targets without compromising on safety or quality, and own the metrics that prove it (throughput, yield, first-pass quality, on-time completion).
- Build and lead a production team that is trained, accountable, and engaged — measured by retention, cross-training coverage, and team-level performance against plan.
- Drive defect rates and rework down quarter over quarter through root-cause problem solving, process control, and tight feedback loops with Quality and Engineering.
- Own floor safety as a non-negotiable — zero preventable incidents, full compliance with safety protocols, and a culture where the team raises issues early.
- Surface and lead at least one meaningful process improvement per quarter — something that measurably improves cycle time, ergonomics, quality, or cost.
Qualifications
- 3+ years directly supervising production or manufacturing teams in a hands-on, on-floor capacity.
- Demonstrated track record of hitting production targets while maintaining quality and safety standards.
- Working fluency in production planning, quality systems, and safety practices (e.g., standard work, defect tracking, lockout/tagout, PPE compliance).
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment where the process you ran last quarter may not be the process you run next quarter.
- Available to work on-site in Hayward or San Carlos, on a day or swing shift.
