# VP of Operations

**Corvus Robotics** · Mountain View, CA

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/corvus-robotics/897b5403-4a26-4053-84fc-afc5cce329c4

## About Corvus Robotics

Our software allows drones to fly indoors and collect analytics, helping warehouses automate inventory tracking.

## About the role

We are looking for a highly skilled and strategic VP of Operations to join our fast-paced, mission-driven team. You will be instrumental in scaling Corvus by owning manufacturing, supply chain, and hardware operations end-to-end as we deploy autonomous drones across the world's largest warehouses. We need a leader who has lived and breathed hardware - electronics, robotics, and production at scale - and is committed to building an operations engine that matches the ambition of our product.

#### About Corvus

Corvus Robotics builds fully autonomous, infrastructure-free drones that give Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises real-time inventory visibility inside their warehouses and distribution centers. Founded out of MIT and headquartered in Mountain View, CA, our systems are purpose-built in America and deployed through a Robots-as-a-Service model. Hardware quality, manufacturing reliability, and deployment logistics are core to our business.

#### What You'll Do

- Own end-to-end hardware operations: supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, and logistics.

- Scale our production processes without sacrificing quality or reliability.

- Build and manage relationships with contract manufacturers, component suppliers, and logistics partners.

- Increase manufacturing velocity while navigating component sourcing, lead times, and supply chain risk.

- Establish quality systems, testing protocols, and reliability standards for robots that operate 24/7 in active industrial environments.

- Partner closely with engineering on DFM (design for manufacturability), NPI (new product introduction), and hardware revision cycles

- Build and lead the operations team as we grow

- Own operational metrics: unit economics, yield, on-time deployment, and hardware uptime.

#### What We're Looking For

- 5+ years of operations experience in hardware, with significant time in robotics, electronics, or complex electromechanical products.

- Hands-on familiarity with electronics manufacturing - you must know the difference between a PCB and a machined part, and dealt with the suppliers who make them.

- Proven track record scaling production of a hardware product.

- Experience managing contract manufacturers and multi-tier supply chains, ideally including overseas and domestic production.

- Fluency in the language of hardware: BOMs, EVT/DVT/PVT, yield, MTBF, ECOs, and factory ramps.

- Strong first-principles thinker who is comfortable operating with ambiguity at a fast-moving startup.

- Willingness to be hands-on - on the factory floor, at supplier sites, and in customer warehouses when needed.

#### Nice to Have

- Experience with drones, UAVs, or autonomous mobile robots.

- Experience with Robots-as-a-Service or other hardware-enabled recurring revenue models.

- Background in regulated or safety-critical hardware environments.

- Experience deploying hardware fleets into industrial or logistics environments.

#### Why Join Us

You'll join a team solving some of the hardest problems in physical AI - autonomy, reliability, and real-world deployment at national scale - with a product already trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises across retail, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution. This is a rare opportunity to own the operational backbone of a category-defining robotics company at the inflection point of its growth.
