Company Mission

Brelyon is an early-stage startup introducing the first-ever, headset-free virtual display to replace multi-monitors in high-bandwidth applications like teleoperation, data visualization, and simulation training. The technology uses novel physics along with computational display techniques to create depth and panorama, emulating an IMAX-like experience in a 32” monitor form factor.

Our goal is to amplify the human-computer experience by designing around light and the visual experience of displays. We have already shipped hundreds of units around the world and continue to focus on early adopting markets.

Our HQ is in Silicon Valley and our manufacturing site is in Taichung, Taiwan. We are looking for an experienced head of production. This is a role with great opportunity to lead a large team in Taichung, making sure production is done timely and efficiently. This is a full-time, on-site job; this position does not offer remote work flexibility.

Job Responsibilities:

• Well-experienced with hardware manufacturing down to mechanical engineering level to supervise manufacturing processes of each given component.
• Set up manufacturing facilities, including familiarity with learning and adhering to local logistic requirements, and leading space requirements, budget, machinery selection, resourcing, project planning, build-out, and implementation.
• Manage and supervise the engineering and supply chain team in the Brelyon Taiwan office to ensure on-time delivery of mass-production products that meet industry standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally in the implementation of improvements such as writing assembly procedures, QC procedures and communicating that to the assembly personnel and engineers. Create documentation protocols and ensure that all records of operations are properly maintained and reviewed.
• Apply LEAN manufacturing principles in designing, specifying, and validating world-class manufacturing processes that achieve organizational goals
• Constantly investigate cost-reduction and automation measures, have an existing large network of manufacturing partners that can engage to enhance production.
• Establish and maintain great communications with global engineering and operation teams both domestically and internationally.
• Travel domestically and internationally to ensure smooth manufacturing of sub-components.

Job Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in plant operations or direct management over mass production manufacturing
