• Be the glue to pull disparate teams together to hit key milestones and goals through the product development process
• Manage (in conjunction with the G$ team) the Bill of Materials for our products making sure it is up to date and usable for ordering, cost analysis and useful for tracking development status.
• Push ECOs through the release process and make sure they’re implemented in a controlled manner.
• Develop spaces for builds including workspace, tools, shelving for inventory and finished goods
• Manage inventory for prototype and integration builds including receiving parts, managing incoming quality control, stocking parts and prepping for builds.
• Make sure that prototype builds happen smoothly and as quickly as possible. Run daily standups or other methods of work tracking and motivation to make sure builds remain unblocked.
• Organize and plan work. Motivate team members. Track progress and issues. Communicate with stakeholders and close out issues.
• Manage the configuration of our fleet of prototype printers. Maintain an up to date inventory of prototype printers, their configuration, status and use. Ensure that reworks and retrofits happen quickly and successfully.
• Improve processes across mechanical engineering to support the smooth development of products
• Broadly support the mechanical engineering team and mechanical engineering manager as project manager embedded in that team

About You:

• Demonstrates motivation to bring amazing products to life by pushing yourself, your peers and the development process forward
• Consistent and organized to make sure we’re doing everything we can to succeed
• Ready to get your hands dirty filling gaps and leading by example
