Head of Manufacturing and Production
At Aigen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture-with a pesticide-free, solar powered robotics platform.
Do you have a track record of solving complex engineering challenges and delivering incredible products? Join us to make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, agriculture, AI, and climate.
52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).
With $7M raised to date, we are backed by a suite of investors including NEA, GFC, AgFunder, and Bessemer VenturesThe Role:
As Head of Manufacturing and Production you will oversee the entire manufacturing process (both manufacturing engineering and leading the production of our robots) at our local manufacturing facility.
This will role also be responsible for leading the development of future mass manufacturing plants.
The primary focus is on ensuring the efficient and effective production of goods while maintaining quality standards and meeting demands.
