fab2 The Production Supervisor at fab2 will lead and scale the team building chip fabs, turning low-volume engineering builds into repeatable production systems. This role manages production output, capacity planning, and continuous improvement while mentoring and growing the production team.

Responsibilities

The Production Manager will lead and scale the team that builds fab2's fabs. Today we build tools in small numbers, close to engineering. Your job is to turn that into a repeatable production system that can ramp output, shorten build times, and deploy complete fabs. This role will be expected to work ~50 hours a week alongside first shift technicians.
Own production output including build schedules, capacity planning, lead time, cost, and quality for tools and complete fabs.
Turn engineering-led, low-volume builds into documented, repeatable processes, including work instructions, travelers, test procedures, and build records.
Plan and run the ramp: identify bottlenecks, add capacity, bring up new equipment and lines, and drive continuous improvement in rate, yield, and cost.
Lead the transition of new tool designs from prototype to production. Give engineers feedback on manufacturability, testability, and serviceability.
Define training and career development paths so technicians can grow into senior, lead, and supervisor roles.
Set clear operating standards and metrics and hold the team accountable to them.
Hire, lead, and mentor supervisors, technicians, and associates, and grow the team as production scales.
Required Experience
5+ years in production operations, manufacturing engineering, or process development for complex hardware.
2+ years leading production teams, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
Hands-on comfort with electro-mechanical systems. You can walk the floor, read drawings and BOMs, and dig into technical problems with engineers.
