We're looking for a Senior Process Engineer to join our manufacturing team and build Persona's production system from the ground up. This person will report into and function as the right hand to Persona’s Head of Manufacturing. You will lead the development implementation and optimization of a robust manufacturing process of complex humanoid robots. You'll own the complete manufacturing process architecture: including process development, assembly sequencing, factory layout, and scalability.

Requirements
~1 min read10–15+ years in manufacturing or process engineering in a complex hardware environment like robotics, automotive (OEM or Tier 1/2 supplier), aerospace, industrial equipment, or consumer electronics
Proven experience or strong aptitude to design and build production systems from the ground up
Experience with implementation of MES systems (Tulip, ProPlanner, or like)
Deep knowledge of factory layout, line design, and process flow. You've moved equipment around on paper (and in practice) and know how to design a build sequence that actually works
Hands-on experience with lean manufacturing principles: standard work, poka-yoke, 5S, kaizen, value stream mapping
Strong DFM/DFA instincts. You’re comfortable pushing back on engineering when a design will create production problems
Experience specifying and integrating capital equipment and production tooling
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and assembly documentation
Comfortable working directly with technicians on the floor — this role is as much floor leadership as it is engineering
Houston-based or willing to relocate
What We Offer
~1 min readMost process engineering jobs are optimization problems - someone else built the line, and you make it run better. This one is a creation problem. You'll design how Persona's robots get built: the layout, the flow, the stations, the metrics, the equipment. When Persona ships at scale, this is the system you built. That's not a common opportunity, and it's not a common thing to be able to say.
You'll have a front-row seat to the evolution of humanoid robotics, with the opportunity to shape our systems and scale our manufacturing from the ground up. If you're energized by early-stage innovation, hands-on engineering, and building things that push boundaries, we'd love to hear from you.
