Standard Bots에서 제조 공장 관리자를 채용합니다. 10년 이상의 제조 운영 경력과 전기 기계 조립에 대한 실무 지식을 갖춘 분을 찾습니다. 현장에서 직접 문제를 진단하고 해결하며, Lean/TPS 기반의 생산 시스템을 구축하고 확장하는 핵심 역할을 수행합니다. 뉴욕 글렌코브 공장으로 주 5일 출근이 필수입니다.
Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots — hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and we need the engineering foundation to match. This role is central to that.
Reporting to the Head of Manufacturing Operations, the Plant Manager holds full accountability for day-to-day plant operations across Production, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, OpEx, HR, Finance, and EHS. This is a visible, present leadership role — one where operational discipline is modeled from the floor up. The Plant Manager sets the standard for how the facility operates, builds the systems and team structures that sustain quality at scale, and ensures execution is grounded in direct, firsthand knowledge of what is happening on the production floor.
The ideal candidate leads through direct engagement with operations — present on the floor, close to the work, and quick to mobilize around problems as they emerge. When disruptions arise —whether a line stoppage, a supplier shortfall, a quality excursion, or a build constraint — this leader diagnoses at the source, drives resolution in real time, and translates operational insight into lasting corrective action. Equally capable of strategic planning and tactical execution, this person bridges the floor and the boardroom with equal credibility.
Production Execution: Oversee assembly and testing processes.
PCB and SMT Line Ownership: Direct SMT/PCB line for quality.

Stakeholder Engagement and Community Representation: Represent company professionally to stakeholders.
Bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, operations, or equivalent hands-on experience.
10+ years of progressive manufacturing operations experience, with meaningful time leading a plant floor or plant.
5+ years of management/supervisory experience with direct reports in a manufacturing environment.
Hands-on experience in electromechanical assembly — mechanical fits, harnessing, wiring, actuators, sensors, and integrated test.
Demonstrated lean/TPS fluency and a real continuous-improvement habit — not just certifications on paper.
Ownership of SQDC metrics with a track record of improving them.
Thorough understanding of financial practices including capital equipment analysis, cost accounting, budgeting, and project cost analysis.
Automotive manufacturing experience is highly desired — we want the discipline, line rigor, and high-volume electromechanical assembly culture that strong automotive operators bring.
Experience in robotics, automation, aerospace, or other high-mix / precision electromechanical environments.
Demonstrated experience standing up or scaling a new line or facility from low to high volume.
Familiarity with ERP/MES systems and building the data discipline to run a plant on metrics.
Demonstrated ability to drive and lead change initiatives — challenges the status quo and champions continuous improvement.
The salary range for this role is $160,000 to $210,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
