Company Overview

Each year 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic were on a mission to recapture that lost time and were doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.

Our first product also called Matic is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. Weve built what amounts to full self-driving in the home with real-time 3D mapping adaptive path-tracking and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.

Privacy First

What happens in the home stays in the home. Our robots are private by design with all data processing performed by the robot itself not in the cloud.

Our Approach

Before the iPhone consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones PDAs and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.

Our Culture

Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. Were ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.

About the role

As our Process Engineer based in Asia youll be our front-line technical expert ensuring every part and subassembly from our Asian supply chain meets Matics exacting standards. Working remotely from China Taiwan Vietnam or another strategic location in Asia youll embed yourself with our suppliers to drive quality speed and cost optimization across our entire manufacturing ecosystem.

If youre passionate about building world-class manufacturing processes thrive on solving complex production challenges across multiple suppliers and are obsessed with achieving zero-defect quality at scale wed love to talk to you about being our technical champion in Asia.

What youll do

• Conduct on-site process audits at suppliers across China Taiwan Vietnam and other Asian manufacturing hubs

• Implement and validate PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) for all new parts and engineering changes

• Perform gauge R&R studies to ensure measurement system accuracy across all supplier facilities

• Develop and maintain control plans PFMEA and process flow diagrams for critical components

• Drive root cause analysis and 8D problem-solving for any quality issues working directly on supplier production floors

• Establish SPC (Statistical Process Control) systems and train supplier quality teams on data collection and analysis

• Design and validate inspection fixtures and go/no-go gauges for supplier incoming and outgoing quality control

• Conduct capability studies (Cpk/Ppk) and drive process improvements to achieve >1.67 capability indices

• Review and approve supplier tooling designs first article inspections and production readiness

• Implement lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives at supplier facilities

• Develop supplier quality scorecards and drive corrective actions for underperforming suppliers

• Coordinate production trials and pilot runs for new products and processes

• Validate cycle times yield rates and throughput to ensure suppliers meet cost and delivery targets

• Create detailed work instructions and visual aids in local languages for supplier operators

• Perform DFM reviews with suppliers to identify cost reduction and quality improvement opportunities

• Manage ECO (Engineering Change Order) implementation across multiple suppliers simultaneously

• Build relationships with supplier engineering and quality teams to ensure alignment with Matic standards

• Travel 50-70% of time to supplier facilities across Asia for hands-on problem solving

What we look for

• Technical degree in Manufacturing Engineering Mechanical Engineering Industrial Engineering or equivalent
