Job Description

We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us. NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We're not demoing it - we're shipping it. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you. If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

Job Responsibility

  • Own quality on the polymer production line — catching issues early through rigorous process and product audits, containing problems before they escape, and leading the Material Review Board process to ensure nonconforming material is properly investigated, dispositioned, and resolved
  • Feed production data back into the team so we continuously raise the bar on what leaves the floor

Requirements

  • 5+ years working in a polymer or materials production environment — adhesives, fabrics, fibers, or similar
  • Hands-on experience with adhesive dispensing processes and their associated failure modes
  • Demonstrated experience leading root cause investigations and containment activities on a production line
  • Data analysis proficiency in Excel, JMP, or Minitab
  • Familiarity with quality methods including PFMEA and Control Plans
  • Associate's degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field

Nice to have

  • Experience leading or participating in a formal Material Review Board (MRB) process
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical testing: pull testers, Shore hardness gauges, or similar
  • Familiarity with a quality management system (QMS) or ISO 9001 environments
  • Experience in a high-growth or startup manufacturing environment where processes are actively being developed

What we offer

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
  • 401(k) plan with company match (100% on the first 3% of contributions, 50% on the next 2%)
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
  • Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
  • Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support
  • Onsite snacks and catered lunches
