The Role
The Industrial Engineer will own and build Blissway's processes for production, inventory, testing, and documentation.
The Day to Day:
- Build and own Blissway's production inventory system from the ground up — parts tracking, reorder thresholds, and BoM (Bill of Materials) management
- Procurement for components, assemblies, and tooling — sourcing vendors, negotiating lead times, and maintaining supply continuity
- Create and maintain manufacturing SOPs so technicians and future production staff can build consistently without you in the room
- Cook production runs: schedule builds, stage materials, track throughput, and flag bottlenecks before they become delays
- Own quality documentation — incoming inspection, build records, test results, and traceability for every unit that ships
- Work directly with engineers to understand design transitions, component changes, and test requirements. Get hands-on when needed — assist in production, debug failures, or validate that a new process actually works in practice
- Identify gaps proactively and propose solutions — if something is slow, inconsistent, or manual when it shouldn't be, you'll notice and fix it
Requirements
- Experience building or running a production or inventory process — manufacturing, assembly, kitting, or hardware operations
- Hands-on comfort with physical hardware — you're not afraid to pick up a multimeter if the situation calls for it
- Process documentation skills — work instructions and build records that other people can actually follow
- Vendor, procurement, and inventory management — you've managed suppliers, tracked lead times, and dealt with parts shortages
- Organized and systematic — you build systems, not workarounds
- Ability to work independently and make decisions without a playbook
- Experience in manufacturing, PCB assembly, or hardware production environments
- Background in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, or operations management
Qualifications
- Nice-to-have: Basic electronics understanding — enough to read a BOM, understand component types, and communicate with electrical engineers about what's changing
- Nice-to-have: Experience scaling production from small-batch (10–50 units) to medium-volume (200–1000 units)
- Nice-to-have: Lean, Six Sigma, or similar process improvement methodology
Benefits
- Relocation Support
- Personalized Health Coverage (ICHRA)
- Investing in Your Future: 401(k) matching up to 4%
- Pale, Disability insurance
- Early Stage Equity: Competitive equity package with 24-month exercise window

- High-Trust Time Off: 4 weeks of untracked PTO
- Family First: 12 weeks of paid parental leave for birth and adoptive parents
- The "BlissTrip": An annual 3–4 day getaway for the team and significant others
- Monthly Beats: Game nights, escape rooms, and dinners to celebrate the grit we put in
- Continuous Learning: Tuition reimbursement for courses, programs, and conferences that sharpen your craft
