Senior Vice President (SVP)
Austin, Texas · Remote-Eligible (75% On-Site) · Founding Executive Role
This organization is a new, U.S.-incorporated manufacturing platform built to serve frontier-technology industries — humanoid robotics, aerospace, agricultural technology, and healthcare — where reshoring, national security priorities, and speed-to-production are reshaping how and where hardware gets built. Backed by MISUMI Group, a global leader in manufacturing solutions and precision components, this venture combines precision machining, final assembly/test/packaging (FATP), supply chain orchestration, and engineering services into a single U.S.-based platform.
Our founding customers include leading humanoid robotics companies, and is being built from day one to grow with a broader roster of frontier-technology manufacturers as capacity comes online.
Our organization is standing up its first physical footprint in Austin, Texas: an initial facility in 2026, followed by a purpose-built campus opening in 2027. Over the following three years, the operation is expected to scale from a single-customer pilot into a multi-customer production platform, with the workforce growing from a founding team into a 200-plus-person operation as volume ramps toward several thousand units a year at full scale.
We are hiring the founding SVP to lead this build from the ground up — the first executive on the ground in Austin, responsible for turning an approved capital program into a running, profitable manufacturing operation.
