Each has its own partner, milestones, parts list and evidence requirements. Today the schedule, parts and paperwork for each project sit with whoever is closest to it. When something slips, it slips quietly, and claims wait on missing documents.\nWe are fixing this with Innotracker, our own tracker for schedules, documents, procurement and grant claims across every project. It is still being built. This role runs the team’s operations through it, and owns its scope and schedule until it is done.\nDelivery schedule\nRun every active project’s schedule and Gantt in Innotracker, the team’s own tracker: owner, next milestone, date and status\n\nDo all tracking and ops work through Innotracker, and lead the move of remaining projects across from Notion\n\nRun the weekly schedule check with project leads; flag any milestone at risk at least two weeks before it is due\n\nPrepare the project status input for the VP’s monthly review\n\nInnotracker scope and schedule\nOwn the scope and build schedule for Innotracker, working with the AI team who build it\n\nTurn what the team needs into clear requirements, priorities and acceptance tests for each module: schedules and Gantt, document repository, procurement ops and grant claims workflow\n\nHold the release schedule and sign off each module once it works for the people using it\n\nClearing blockers\nPropose ways through blockers from your own experience and knowledge, not just escalate them\n\nWhen the situation calls for it, take over execution of the fix yourself, technical work included: integration debugging, part substitution, fixture or wiring rework, test scripts\n\nLog each blocker, fix and lesson in Innotracker so the team does not hit the same problem twice\n\nPrototype to production, and commercial demand\nTake products past the grant-funded MVP towards production grade: design-for-manufacture changes, target BOM cost, production-grade suppliers, certification and regulatory path, service and maintenance plan\n\nRun the prototype-to-production gate and prepare products for handover into LionsBot production\n\nGive sales and prospects the ops support that builds demand: demo units, trial logistics, technical set-up, and cost inputs for quotes\n\nBuild and prototype operations\nTurn engineering designs into build plans: BOM, make or buy, lead times and build dates\n\nTrack every prototype build from parts-in to test-complete\n\nKeep a parts and inventory register for innovation builds, and reuse existing LionsBot parts (R3, R5, S3 platforms) where it saves cost or time\n\nProcurement and suppliers\nRun RFQs, compare quotes, raise POs and chase deliveries for prototype and niche parts, tracked in Innotracker procurement ops\n\nWork directly with China-based suppliers in Mandarin, and with LionsBot supply chain, warehouse and hardware colleagues on sourcing\n\nCheck every quote against the spec before a PO goes out, so wrong-part or wrong-spec orders are caught early\n\nInternal | LionsBot International | Engineering Operations Lead\nMake sure every innovation invoice, including bulk and warehouse purchases, reaches NetSuite coded to the right project\n\nGrant and claims\nRun the grant claims workflow in Innotracker: collect evidence, verify, compile, send for VP approval, submit\n\nFile evidence as the work happens: quotes, POs, invoices, delivery orders, test records and photos, sorted into each grant’s claim categories\n\nApply each agency’s rules: qualifying date (BCA uses delivery date; IMDA and ESG use invoice date) and no double-counting across grants or projects\n\nKeep supplier and quality records that stand up to partner and grant-body audits\n\nField and deployment operations\nPlan shipping, site access, permits and on-site set-up for showcases, pilots and deployments\n\nWork with pre-sales and connectivity colleagues on field testing\n\nDevelopment operations\nKeep version-controlled build records for each prototype in Innotracker: BOM revisions, firmware and software versions, configuration and test logs\n\nKeep the team off side trackers and chat history: if it is not in Innotracker, it did not happen","description_format":"text","description_chars":4153,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Retail & Commercial Robotics","Service & Hospitality Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T03:53:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T05:47:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lionsbot-engineering-operations-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lionsbot-engineering-operations-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T05:47:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13462,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":175194},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=175194"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flionsbot-engineering-operations-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flionsbot-engineering-operations-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flionsbot-engineering-operations-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lionsbot-engineering-operations-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flionsbot-engineering-operations-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4001840}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lionsbot.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4001840},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
