Manufacturing and Process Engineering Manager

About Standard Bots

Industrial robots have long been out of reach for most manufacturers — too expensive, too complex, and built for companies with dedicated automation teams. Standard Bots is changing that. We build powerful, affordable robots that work in real factories, from small shops to growing production lines. We’re scaling fast, and the engineering discipline we build now will define the quality and cost of every robot we ship.

This role sits at the heart of that mission. You’ll have direct influence over how our robots are built, at what quality, and at what cost. It’s not a support function — it’s a core driver of the business.

Our factory is in Glen Cove, NY, 35 minutes from Manhattan. You’ll be on-site 5 days a week, with your decisions visible on the floor the next morning.

The Role

We’re hiring a Manufacturing & Process Engineering Manager to take full ownership of how we build our robots — from initial process design through continuous improvement on the production floor. You’ll take charge of a small, early-stage team and build the function from scratch: defining engineering standards, tightening the loop between product design and production, and deploying automation where it creates the most leverage.
