We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and we need the engineering foundation to match. This role is central to that.\nNote: This role will be required to come into our Glen Cove, NY robotics factory 5 days/week. Relocation assistance available.\nThe Role\nReporting to the Head of Manufacturing Operations, the Plant Manager holds full accountability for day-to-day plant operations across Production, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, OpEx, HR, Finance, and EHS. This is a visible, present leadership role - one where operational discipline is modeled from the floor up. The Plant Manager sets the standard for how the facility operates, builds the systems and team structures that sustain quality at scale, and ensures execution is grounded in direct, firsthand knowledge of what is happening on the production floor.\nThe ideal candidate leads through direct engagement with operations - present on the floor, close to the work, and quick to mobilize around problems as they emerge. When disruptions arise -whether a line stoppage, a supplier shortfall, a quality excursion, or a build constraint - this leader diagnoses at the source, drives resolution in real time, and translates operational insight into lasting corrective action. Equally capable of strategic planning and tactical execution, this person bridges the floor and the boardroom with equal credibility.\nWhat You'll Do\nProduction Execution: Oversee assembly and testing processes.\n\nPCB and SMT Line Ownership: Direct SMT/PCB line for quality.\n\nSQDC Performance Management: Own plant metrics and improvements.\n\nFinancial Stewardship: Manage budget, reduce costs.\n\nPeople Development and Team Leadership: Build and lead skilled teams.\n\nContinuous Improvement and Production System Governance: Deploy and sustain TPS practices.\n\nCapacity Planning and Production Scaling: Launch and optimize new production cells.\n\nNew Product Introduction (NPI): Partner for production readiness.\n\nVertical Integration and Insourcing: Insource processes, lead launches.\n\nCross-Functional Integration: Liaison for manufacturing alignment.\n\nEnvironment, Health, and Safety: Ensure and reinforce safety compliance.\n\nStakeholder Engagement and Community Representation: Represent company professionally to stakeholders.\n\nBasic Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, operations, or equivalent hands-on experience.\n\n10+ years of progressive manufacturing operations experience, with meaningful time leading a plant floor or plant.\n\n5+ years of management/supervisory experience with direct reports in a manufacturing environment.\n\nHands-on experience in electromechanical assembly - mechanical fits, harnessing, wiring, actuators, sensors, and integrated test.\n\nDemonstrated lean/TPS fluency and a real continuous-improvement habit - not just certifications on paper.\n\nOwnership of SQDC metrics with a track record of improving them.\n\nThorough understanding of financial practices including capital equipment analysis, cost accounting, budgeting, and project cost analysis.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nAutomotive manufacturing experience is highly desired - we want the discipline, line rigor, and high-volume electromechanical assembly culture that strong automotive operators bring.\n\nExperience in robotics, automation, aerospace, or other high-mix / precision electromechanical environments.\n\nDemonstrated experience standing up or scaling a new line or facility from low to high volume.\n\nFamiliarity with ERP/MES systems and building the data discipline to run a plant on metrics.\n\nDemonstrated ability to drive and lead change initiatives - challenges the status quo and champions continuous improvement.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\nThe salary range for this role is $160,000 to $260,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4394,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Relocation assistance","Stock options","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Industrial Robotics","Collaborative Robots (Cobots)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T17:39:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":33,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.743,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":53,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":260000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/standard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/standard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T17:32:36Z","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":26193,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":1307},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1307"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstandard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fstandard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fstandard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager"},{"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/standard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstandard-bots-manufacturing-plant-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":334429}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"standardbots.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":334429},"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); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
