Matic
Company Overview
Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.
Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've 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. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.
About the role As our Process Engineer based in Asia, you'll be our front-line technical expert ensuring every part and subassembly from our Asian supply chain meets Matic's exacting standards. Working remotely from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, or another strategic location in Asia, you'll embed yourself with our suppliers to drive quality, speed, and cost optimization across our entire manufacturing ecosystem.
If you're 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, we'd love to talk to you about being our technical champion in Asia.
What you'll 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
4+ years of experience in supplier quality or process engineering in consumer electronics, automotive, or robotics
Fluent in Mandarin and English (written and spoken) - additional Asian languages a plus
Deep expertise in PPAP, APQP, and IATF 16949 or similar quality systems
Proven track record of improving supplier quality and reducing defect rates
Hands‑on experience with injection molding, die casting, machining, and PCBA assembly processes
Proficiency in statistical analysis tools (Minitab, JMP) and GD&T
Experience with CMM programming and vision system setup for dimensional verification
Strong understanding of Asian manufacturing culture and supplier management dynamics
Ability to work independently and drive results without direct authority
Experience with high‑volume production (100K+ units/year) and scaling from NPI to mass production
Knowledge of automation and Industry 4.0 implementation in Asian factories is a plus
Excellent problem‑solving skills with ability to think on your feet in production environments
Comfort with remote work while maintaining strong collaboration with US‑based team
Valid passport and ability to travel frequently within Asia
High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work
Willingness to work across time zones and maintain flexible hours for critical issues
We'd love to hear from you if...
You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones
You love diagnosing complex technical issues
You are excited to do great work
