Head of Production

Fuse
San Leandro, CA
Category Operations
Job Description
Role Overview

You'll lead Fuse's transition from prototypes to building generators at scale. Turn prototypes into repeatable production without losing the speed or quality that got us here. Take responsibility for production operations across Fuse's manufacturing floor, from component fabrication through final assembly and test.

What You Will Do

Core responsibilities include building and scaling a production team, designing and implementing production processes, and managing vendor and supplier relationships. You'll also be responsible for production schedules and throughput targets, and driving continuous improvement across safety, quality, cost, and cycle time.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We value people who obsess about details, care about the team, act with urgency, and assume good intent. You'll be responsible for the outcome, not just the task, and will be expected to disagree openly and commit fully once a call is made.

Requirements

  • A demonstrated track record of building and scaling manufacturing or production operations at a hardware company, from low-volume (0 to 10) to higher-volume (1000 to 100,000) output.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, quality systems, and production planning.
  • Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment.
  • Hands-on approach: willing to be on the floor, naturally get your hands dirty, and not just managing from a dashboard.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Relocation assistance for roles that require it.
  • Flexible time off.
  • 2 weeks of paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs).
  • Supportive leave of absence policies.
  • Paid leave for new parents.
