# Production and Sustaining Engineer

Description The Sustaining & Production Engineer is the bridge between R&D, Operations, Manufacturing, Procurement, and QC in Minden. The role has two halves that fit together naturally because they involve the same people and similar conversations. Why This Role Exists Loudspeaker development for our James by Sonance brand occurs in Minden, NV, and the business is growing faster than the processes around it. Today, moving a product from R&D into steady production, and keeping it healthy once it is there, depends on a small team wearing several hats. That is the opportunity in this role: the person who fills it gets to help build the playbook for how James products move through development into production and how they are sustained. This role owns that path. It is the single point of accountability for the engineering upkeep of products already in production, and for getting new James by Sonance products from R&D through launch. It is deliberately hands-on: doing the engineering work that gets a product into production and keeps it running smoothly, including driving work across multiple teams through to completion.
