  • Observe manufacturing operations to identify waste, reduce variability, and improve process standardization.
  • Lead workshops and training sessions to implement new processes, tools, and lean manufacturing best practices.
  • Support the implementation, sustainment, and continuous improvement of the Zoox Production System (ZPS) through coaching, auditing, and hands-on engagement.
  • Coach operations teams on lean principles, including standard work, 5S, waste elimination, and structured problem-solving methodologies.
  • Develop operational standards, documentation, and performance metrics that support manufacturing excellence.
  • Create dashboards and reports that provide visibility into operational performance and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline
  • 4+ years of experience in manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, or a related industry
  • Experience working within or supporting production systems in an OEM manufacturing environment
  • Proven experience leading cross-functional process improvement initiatives
  • Strong knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Lean, Six Sigma (Green Belt or higher), PMP, or similar project management certifications are preferred

Bonus Qualifications:
  • Experience with ERP systems such as SAP or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
  • Familiarity with data analysis and reporting tools such as SQL, Smartsheet, Databricks, or Looker

Benefits:
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Employer (HireArt) subsidized healthcare benefits (eligibility begins on the first of the month following 60 days of service)
  • Flexible Spending Account for healthcare-related costs
  • HireArt covers all costs for short- and long-term disability and life insurance
  • 401k package

Commitment: This is a full-time, ongoing contract position staffed via HireArt. It will be onsite and available to candidates who are local to the Hayward, CA area.
