Application Engineer - Manufacturing

Aro Homes is a thriving, purpose-driven company on a mission to redefine residential construction. Aro Homes was founded to create well designed, precision engineered homes that are beautiful, livable, and durable, while being built multiple times faster and having a positive impact on the environment.

We are a diverse and experienced group of passionate and curious designers, builders, engineers, product developers, and businesspeople who are passionate about and committed to delivering on our mission. We’ve demonstrated there is a massive opportunity to reduce waste and improve sustainability while building homes in a fraction of the time it takes traditionally. We utilize a repeatable, multi-disciplinary, and product-driven approach which is unique in the industry. We are funded by world-class investors who care about transforming industries for the better, including Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors. If you share the desire to leave a lasting positive impact on the world and to join a strong culture of intelligent, passionate people, then let’s start a conversation.

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on engineer to be engineering's presence on the factory floor. Aro homes are built as precision modules in our Sacramento facility, and the plant runs on documentation: drawings, BOMs, cut lists, and work orders. When a station hits a discrepancy, a part that doesn't match the drawing, or a build question, you are the person who answers it, fixes it, and makes sure the fix reaches every home it touches.

This is a problem-solver role that cuts across disciplines. You need to read architectural, structural, and MEPF documentation fluently, trace an issue from the station back to its source in the model or the BOM, and know when to make the edit yourself versus when to pull in a discipline owner. You will make real changes with your own hands: Bluebeam redlines on released sets, BOM and work order corrections, cut list fixes, and part number cleanup. Every document defect you catch and correct makes the next home build faster, and you will be the plant's advocate inside engineering for exactly that.
