• Robotics Data Acquisition to own the day-to-day operating rhythm in our data collection facilities.

You will work closely with operatorsance improving. This is a hands-on operations role that requires you to be comfortable spending time on the floor, working through ambiguity, and using data to make the operation more reliable and efficient. This role is based in San Francisco, CA and requires in-person presence 5 days a week.

In this role you will:

Coordinate daily operations readiness across workstations, operators, materials. Track core operating metrics including utilization, cycle time, throughput, downtime, operator productivity, and data quality. Identify bottlenecks through workflow analysis, time studies, and capacity modeling, then drive practical fixes. Execute the rollout of new hardware, sensors, tools, and process changes with Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Supply Chain, and Safety. Identify equipment readiness issues and coordinate with technical support to keep workstations, and test equipment calibrated, configured, maintained, and ready for rollouts and evaluations.
