Job Details

Company Overview:

Mattur is pioneering the future of power generation. Our cutting-edge solutions are designed to accelerate America's energy independence at the lowest cost. We develop cleaner, smarter, and more cost-effective energy solutions for businesses, communities, and critical infrastructure.

Our technology enables lowest cost power generation across a range of applications such as:

• Smart, Scalable Generators – Traditional generators are often oversized, leading to excessive fuel consumption, higher costs, and frequent maintenance. Our compact, modular generators dynamically adjust to power demand, reducing fuel use and lowering total cost of ownership.

• Modular Wind Turbines – Engineered to capture wind from any direction, even at low speeds. Their lightweight, compact design simplifies transport and installation while enabling seamless scalability—from small installations to large-scale wind farms.

• AI Optimization – Our systems continuously monitor and adjust performance in real time, maximizing efficiency and reliability while reducing operating costs.

We are just getting started. As a fast-paced and dynamic startup, Mattur's next-generation power solutions are laying the foundation for expansion into new markets and industries, creating an opportunity to join at the ground floor of exponential growth..

Position Overview:

Mattur is seeking an experienced and strategic Manufacturing Lead to build and scale our in-house manufacturing capabilities. This person will take the lead in designing, optimizing, and implementing manufacturing processes to support the production of our innovative energy systems at scale. The Manufacturing Lead will oversee layout planning, process development, equipment selection, and team building to support high-quality, cost-effective, and efficient manufacturing operations.

Key Responsibilities:

Manufacturing Planning, Facility Layout & Process Design

• Develop and implement a comprehensive manufacturing layout, optimizing space for raw material intake, machining operations, work-in-progress (WIP) storage, assembly lines, and quality inspection.
• Analyze prototype production processes to identify potential scaling challenges and design solutions early.
• Collaborate with the Product and Engineering teams to translate design and prototyping insights into scalable manufacturing processes.

Sourcing & Vendor Management

• Analyze the initial bill of materials (BOM) to identify and secure reliable vendors for materials and equipment required for early-stage production.
• Establish and maintain relationships with suppliers to ensure quality, cost-effectiveness, and timely delivery of materials.
• Continuously refine and optimize sourcing strategies as production scales from prototype to high-volume manufacturing.
• Develop contingency plans and alternate supplier strategies to mitigate supply chain risks.
• Negotiate contracts and pricing with suppliers to ensure long-term cost efficiency and reliability.

Process Optimization & Scale-Up

• Establish standard operating procedures (SOPs) for production processes to ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency.
• Implement lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and maximize throughput.
• Identify and evaluate automation opportunities to improve production efficiency and reduce manual labor requirements.

Team Development & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Build and lead a high-performing manufacturing team, including hiring, training, and developing staff.
• Collaborate with suppliers, contractors, and internal stakeholders to ensure seamless operations.
• Foster a culture of safety, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.

Production Planning & Quality Assurance

• Develop production plans and schedules to meet customer demand and company growth objectives.
• Oversee quality control processes, ensuring all products meet industry standards and company specifications.
• Implement and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to track manufacturing performance and drive continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, a related field or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, with a track record of scaling production from prototype to high-volume manufacturing and production (not just assembly).
• Experience in facility layout planning, process design, and manufacturing process optimization.
• Proficiency in lean manufacturing principles and tools (e.g., Kaizen, Six Sigma, 5S).
• Strong project management skills with experience managing cross-functional teams.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in energy technology, hardware manufacturing, or similar fields.
• Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) and manufacturing simulation tools.
• Experience with manufacturing automation
• Experience implementing ERP/MRP systems for manufacturing operations.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and stock options.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including 401k, health, vision, dental and life insurance plans.
• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
• A positive and inclusive work environment dedicated to sustainability and innovation.
