Careers

Help manufacturers automate operations, modernize systems, and plan ownership transitions.

Build Things That Matter on the Factory Floor

The work at Manufacturing.co is concrete: automation that removes hours of manual effort, software that operators actually use, and systems that make a real business run better. If you want your work to have a visible, measurable impact rather than disappearing into a backlog, this is a good place to do it.

We're a small, senior team that values judgment and ownership over process for its own sake. People here talk to customers, ship working systems, and see the results of their work in a manufacturer's operation — often within weeks.

Disciplines

Areas We Hire For

Engineering

Full-stack and integration engineers who ship.

AI & automation

Applied AI for real operational workflows.

Operations & delivery

People who understand manufacturing operations.

Corporate development

Succession, recap, and acquisition work.

What We Look For

  • Bias toward shipping working systems
  • Comfort talking directly with customers
  • Judgment over rigid process
  • Curiosity about how things are actually made
  • Ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
  • Respect for the people on the floor

How we're different

Why Manufacturing.co

Operators, not just advisors

We build, integrate, and deploy — not just recommend. You get working systems, not slide decks.

AI where it helps

We use AI and automation where they remove friction, not where they add complexity for its own sake.

Built on your systems

We work with the ERP, MES, CRM, and equipment you run today instead of forcing a rip-and-replace.

Start small, prove ROI

We begin with one measurable win, deliver it in weeks, and expand from there.

Engagement model

How Engagements Work

  1. 01

    Talk

    A short conversation about your goals, systems, and constraints — no obligation.

  2. 02

    Review

    A Manufacturing Modernization Review to find and rank the highest-ROI opportunities.

  3. 03

    Pilot

    We deliver one focused improvement with success metrics defined up front.

  4. 04

    Scale

    We measure the impact and expand to the next workflow or system.

What to Expect Working With Us

We work in focused sprints rather than open-ended projects, so value is measurable early instead of promised for some distant go-live. A first improvement — a structured intake, a working dashboard, an automated report, or a deployed agent — is typically live in weeks, and we agree on what success looks like before we start so there is no ambiguity about whether it worked.

Your team stays in control throughout. We build around the way you actually operate, document what we deliver, and hand over systems you own and understand. The goal is durable capability inside your business, not a dependency on us — and a clear, prioritized path from one win to the next.

Security and Data Handling

We take a conservative approach to data. Access is scoped to the specific workflow, your existing systems of record are preferred over new data stores, and we document where data flows so nothing is a black box. Sensitive production and customer data is not used to train public models, and any specific security and access controls are agreed with your IT and compliance stakeholders before anything goes live.

Getting Started

The hardest part of modernization is usually starting, so we make the first step small and concrete. Begin with a Manufacturing Modernization Review: a practical look at the workflows, systems, and bottlenecks limiting visibility and enterprise value, with opportunities ranked by ROI and effort. You leave with a prioritized plan you can act on at your own pace — no rip-and-replace, and no long commitment before you have seen results. From there, each improvement funds and informs the next, so modernization compounds instead of stalling.
