  • Responsibilities

    Veev is leading the transformation of the construction industry with an innovative approach to modular home construction. Veev's prefabricated closed-panel systems allow homes to be assembled efficiently on-site while delivering a more sustainable and higher-quality final product than traditional construction. As a new subsidiary of Lennar, Veev leverages the strength and scale of its parent company while maintaining the speed and disruptive approach of its roots as a Silicon Valley-based startup. Veev has developed a vertically integrated approach that involves multidisciplinary collaboration across real estate, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

    This role plays a key part in advancing the mission at Veev by supporting production with new equipment solutions and working to improve safety and processes efficiency by improving existing factory infrastructure. As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, your work will directly support Veev's ability to scale operations and deliver innovative, high-quality housing solutions.

    The Role

    As an Industrial Engineer, you will be a key part of a small, agile, well-resourced, and innovative Manufacturing Engineering team. Our team at Veev has the broad mission of supporting the production team as a complement to the Process Engineering, Production Quality, EHS, R&D and Maintenance teams. This role requires a project leader who is ready and able to collaborate cross-functionally to bring high-quality equipment solutions to a variety of production needs.

    The successful candidate will be comfortable working with an even mix of office-work, project management, purchasing, research, data gathering and analysis, etc.) and work on the factory floor (understanding the day-to-day tasks of our assemblers and machine-operators, equipment trials, modification, and commissioning, hands-on problem-solving to keep the production line running, etc.)
