Job Description

The American Housing Corporation is on a mission to solve the America’s housing crisis through all-out production. We believe that America’s affordability crisis is fundamentally a production crisis, and that solving it requires a vertically integrated development approach: We buy land, and manufacture, install, and sell our homes directly to customers. This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis.

The American Dream is built, not inherited. We're hiring the best engineers, designers, and builders to solve the hardest problem in America.

As the Head of Manufacturing Engineering, you will be responsible for the manufacturing and assembly of our building system — a proprietary kit-of-parts for building high-quality housing.

Collaborate with mechanical engineering and architecture teams to refine our kit-of-parts for manufacturability
Obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and approvals for the manufacturing facilities
Manage supply chain, quality, assembly, and delivery — work with company leadership to hire for these roles in the near future
Establish and track KPIs to understand how our engineering and manufacturing decisions are impacting the quality and cost of our buildings
Manage manufacturing budget, work with company leadership to project future capital requirements

Qualifications

7+ years of experience in hardware development with 3+ years in a leadership role
Strong technical background in mechanical design, structural analysis, DFMA, and production
Proven experience delivering large complex hardware products from low-rate prototypes to full-rate production
Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and leadership skills
Bachelor of Science or higher degree in a technical discipline preferred, not required
