Technical Recruiter, Manufacturing

About the role

You'll be a core part of our manufacturing hiring across two sites: our Oxnard HQ and a new facility in Northwest Arkansas. Early on, that means landing the few people who set the foundation. Later, it means scaling fast without lowering the bar. When manufacturing hiring is lighter, you'll flex to support other teams across the company, so you'll never be short on work or on range.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle hiring across manufacturing, industrial, quality, tooling, and production roles at both sites, from technicians on the floor to the leaders running them
• Learn manufacturing well enough to follow a layout review
• Composites, tooling, process development, and factory ramp: you should know what good looks like
• Recruit from where the talent actually is. Automotive, EV, consumer hardware, and high-rate industrial manufacturing are often better sources for us than legacy aerospace
• Build our Northwest Arkansas talent pipeline from zero: schools, trade programs, local manufacturers, veteran networks, and community partners
• Hire ahead of the scale-up. Build relationships today with people we may not hire for two years
• Flex to support aircraft, supply chain, operations, and other teams when manufacturing volume allows. Manufacturing always comes first

Requirements

YouHave 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time recruiting for manufacturing, production, or hardware teams

Know the difference between a manufacturing engineer and an industrial engineer without looking it up

Hired through a factory launch, production ramp, or high-growth hardware environment and liked the pace

Run hiring in two very different markets without either one feeling like the afterthought

Would rather source a composites tech out of a boat builder than wait for an applicant

Qualifications

Bonus Points

• Recruiting experience at an EV, automotive, aerospace, or hardware company during a plant launch or ramp
