Lead new product introduction (NPI), transitioning hardware from engineering development into repeatable, scalable production.

Work directly alongside production technicians to troubleshoot complex build issues, resolve nonconformance, and drive corrective actions.

Establish and improve manufacturing systems and workflows, including mBOMs, work instructions, and digital traceability within our MES systems.

Identify and lead opportunities to improve manufacturing quality, efficiency, cost, and scalability, balancing immediate production needs with longer-term objectives.

Help define manufacturing capabilities, equipment, tooling, and infrastructure required to support Albedo's growing production demands.

Provide technical leadership and mentorship across engineering and production, driving cross-functional alignment and raising the technical capabilities of the broader team.

Your Ideal Skills and Experience:

8–10+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering, or related roles supporting complex hardware, preferably in aerospace or other high-reliability industries.

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
