Location: Fremont, CA (on-site)
Role Level: Senior Staff Engineer

About the Role

Bloom is seeking a Senior Staff Engineer in Operational Excellence to drive system-level performance across our factory operations. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and strategy-translating complex, dynamic factory conditions into clear priorities, decisions, and measurable outcomes.

You will operate as a senior technical leader, shaping how capacity, layout, flow, and performance come together to deliver results. This is a high-impact role that requires both strategic thinking and deep engagement with on-the-ground reality.

What You'll Do

Leadership & Integration
  • Serve as a senior technical leader across Operational Excellence initiatives, ensuring alignment across engineering and production
  • Integrate inputs across capacity, layout, flow, and performance into cohesive, actionable insights
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers, elevating technical rigor and problem-solving capability
  • Step into leadership responsibilities as needed to maintain continuity and execution

Strategic Steering
  • Define strategic targets and drive prioritization of key factory initiatives
  • Identify major risks, tradeoffs, and critical decision points, ensuring leadership visibility
  • Lead cross-functional alignment on factory priorities, balancing competing constraints

Executive Reporting & Communication
  • Own and deliver a weekly operational excellence summary, including:
    • Top risks and mitigation plans
    • Key changes, trends, and emerging signals
    • Areas requiring leadership attention and decision
  • Translate complex operational data into clear narratives for executive audiences

Capacity Management & Planning
  • Develop and utilize capacity models to support scenario planning and decision-making
  • Translate changes in factory conditions into quantified output and performance impact
  • Continuously monitor trends, proactively identifying risks and opportunities

Factory Reality Validation
  • Validate reported performance against on-the-ground conditions to ensure accuracy
  • Convert ambiguous or loosely defined factory issues into structured problem statements
  • Drive root-cause clarity and ensure issues are framed for effective resolution

What We're Looking For
  • 10+ years of experience in manufacturing, operations, industrial engineering, or related fields
  • Demonstrated ability to operate at a systems level across complex production environments
  • Strong analytical and modeling skills, particularly in capacity planning and performance optimization
  • Proven track record of influencing cross-functional teams and driving alignment without authority
  • Excellent communication skills, with experience engaging executive stakeholders
  • Ability to translate ambiguity into structured, actionable plans

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in high-volume or advanced manufacturing environments
  • Background in industrial engineering, operations research, or similar disciplines
  • Familiarity with factory modeling, simulation, or advanced planning tools

Why Bloom

At Bloom, you'll work on mission-critical manufacturing challenges that directly impact performance and scale. You'll collaborate with leaders across engineering and operations while shaping how our factories operate at a system level.
