Operations Lead

WHAT YOU’LL DO

1. Own day-to-day operations for the scanner program and scanner builds in the spa: purchasing/procurement, vendor management, receiving, inventory, and logistics.
2. Stand up lightweight production operations as we move from prototypes to repeatable builds: build planning, kitting, work instructions, and readiness checklists.
3. Partner with Quality to ensure the operational system supports compliance: traceability, document control, training records, NCR/CAPA workflows, and audit readiness.
4. Drive cross-functional execution for the physical spa build-out and scanner integration: schedules, dependencies, risk register, and weekly coordination with vendors and internal teams.
5. Own the “integration glue” across facilities + device ops: commissioning plans, acceptance criteria, and operational handoff (runbooks, maintenance, spares, escalation paths).
6. Build and track operational metrics: cost, budget, lead times, vendor performance, build throughput, and reliability of critical subsystems.
7. Audit of import/export documentation, management of contract renewals, regulatory compliance.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Proven operations leadership in hardware/medical/robotics (or similarly complex electromechanical products), including procurement and vendor management.
• Strong program management instincts: can run schedules, unblock cross-functional dependencies, and keep priorities clear under ambiguity.
• Comfort operating in quality/regulatory environments and building processes that are rigorous without slowing a small team.
• High ownership and bias to action: can jump between spreadsheets, docks, and the lab/site to keep the program moving.

USEFUL EXPERIENCE

• Experience running prototype-to-production transitions (NPI, EVT/DVT/PVT-style builds, CM/EMS collaboration).
• Facilities / construction operations experience (GC coordination, MEP commissioning, site readiness).
• Familiarity with inventory systems and procurement tooling (even “simple but disciplined”).
