Company Overview:

Standard Bots is a cutting-edge robotics startup dedicated to revolutionizing the robotics industry. Gone are the days of hard-to-set-up robots, complex third-party integrations, horrible UI, etc. If you are a Process Engineer and want to join a cutting-edge team with a focus on advanced technology and exceptional quality, we aim to transform the way the robotics industry operates.

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze existing manufacturing processes to identify areas for improvement in productivity, cost reduction, and waste minimization.

  • Develop and implement strategies to optimize workflow, equipment utilization, and resource allocation.

  • Conduct time studies, capacity analysis, and process simulations to identify opportunities for efficiency improvement and cost-effectiveness.

  • Utilize process modeling and simulation tools to evaluate alternative scenarios and identify optimal process configurations.

  • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in manufacturing processes and implement corrective actions.

  • Collaborate with quality assurance to ensure adherence to quality standards and implement statistical process control methodologies to monitor and improve product quality.

  • Develop and maintain process documentation, including standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions.

  • Participate in cross-functional teams during the New Product Introduction (NPI) process to ensure a smooth transition from design to production.

  •   Design and optimize assembly processes for new products, including tooling, fixtures, and workstations.

  • Participate in new product development projects to ensure that manufacturing processes are designed for optimal performance and scalability.

  • Develop and validate new manufacturing processes, including process flow diagrams, equipment specifications, and validation protocols.

  •    Lead and facilitate Kaizen events, Lean initiatives, and other continuous improvement activities to drive operational excellence.

  •   Implement lean manufacturing principles, such as 5S, value stream mapping, and kanban, to eliminate waste and improve workflow efficiency.

  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement by promoting employee involvement, providing training, and recognizing contributions.
