Job Description

The American Housing Corporation is on a mission to solve the America’s housing crisis through all-out production. We believe that America’s affordability crisis is fundamentally a production crisis, and that solving it requires a vertically integrated development approach: We buy land, and manufacture, install, and sell our homes directly to customers. This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis. The American Dream is built, not inherited. We're hiring the best engineers, designers, and builders to solve the hardest problem in America. As the Head of Manufacturing Engineering, you will be responsible for the manufacturing and assembly of our build system — a proprietary kit-of-parts for building high-quality multifamily housing.

Job Responsibility

  • Build and lead a team of engineers, manufacturing specialists, and technicians to design and build the manufacturing facility to produce our build system
  • Collaborate with mechanical engineering and architecture teams to design and refine our kit-of-parts for building beautiful housing that meets our buyers needs while also being mass-manufacturable
  • Obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and approvals for the manufacturing facilities
  • Manage supply chain, quality, assembly, and delivery — work with company leadership to hire for these roles in the near future
  • Establish and track KPIs to understand how our engineering and manufacturing decisions are impacting the quality and $/sq ft of our buildings
  • Manage engineering and manufacturing budget, work with company leadership to project future capital requirements

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in hardware development
  • 5+ years in a leadership role
  • Strong technical background in mechanical design, structural analysis, DFMA, and production
  • Proven experience delivering large complex hardware products from low-rate prototypes to full-rate production
  • Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and leadership skills
  • Bachelor of Science or higher degree in a technical discipline preferred, not required

  • Equity
  • Robust benefits
