Help us build the machine that builds our product.

At Reusables, we're making ‘reuse’ the easiest choice for businesses and communities. Our proprietary Smart Return Bin combines hardware, software, and IoT technology to power the circular economy, helping reduce waste and make reusable packaging practical at scale.

We've successfully designed, built, and deployed our hardware across North America and now we're entering our next chapter.

We're preparing to scale from approximately 50 deployed units to more than 200 over the next year, and we're looking for someone to build the production systems that make that growth possible.

This role is all about production excellence.

You’ll lead the people, suppliers, and production systems that ensure every Smart Return Bin is assembled, tested, and shipped to the highest standard.

If you're energized by manufacturing, supply chains, quality systems, and solving real-world hardware challenges, you'll probably love this role.

What You'll Own
Production & Manufacturing
Every Smart Return Bin contains dozens of components sourced from multiple suppliers. Your role is ensuring every part, process, and person comes together to deliver reliable hardware at scale.

You’ll:

Oversee production, assembly, testing, and shipping

Build scalable manufacturing processes

Ensure production documentation remains accurate and up to date

Keep production on schedule while supporting company growth

Quality & Reliability
You'll own our approach to testing, reliability, and continuous improvement.

You’ll:

Develop and evolve testing protocols

Identify failure modes

Analyze production and field incidents to improve reliability

Drive corrective actions and preventative improvements

Supply Chain & Procurement




Every Smart Return Bin contains dozens of components sourced from multiple suppliers.

You’ll:

Own supplier relationships and procurement strategy

Build a supply chain that stays ahead of demand

Manage inventory planning and component availability to support production timelines

Evaluate suppliers based on quality, cost, and reliability

Coordinate with customs brokers and external logistics partners

This role is approximately 90% production and 10% product improvement .

We're not looking for someone to design entirely new hardware platforms.

Instead, you'll identify opportunities to improve reliability, reduce manufacturing cost, simplify production, and enhance existing products.

When deeper engineering work is required, you'll coordinate with external electrical, mechanical, and firmware specialists to move improvements forward.

Leadership
You'll lead our Hardware Technicians.

You’ll:

Coach and develop Hardware Technicians

Create clarity through documented processes

Balance workload and production priorities

Build a culture of accountability, quality, and continuous improvement

Cross Functional Collaboration
Great hardware doesn't happen in isolation.

You'll partner closely with Product, Customer Success, Sales, Operations, and external partners to balance production priorities, customer needs, and ongoing product improvements.





About you
You've:

Taken a hardware product through manufacturing, assembly, testing, and shipment

Managed suppliers, procurement, inventory, and production planning

Built scalable manufacturing systems

Led or developed technicians or production teams

Worked with complex hardware products containing mechanical, electrical, and electronic assemblies

Balanced technical understanding with strong operational leadership

Bonus points if you've worked with:

Products in the 100 to 1,000+ unit production range

Complex hardware valued between approximately $2,000 and $10,000 per unit

Customs, tariffs, or international sourcing

Growth-stage companies scaling manufacturing operations

Hardware deployed in demanding real-world environments

You'll Thrive Here If...

You enjoy bringing order to complexity

You naturally think in systems instead of quick fixes

You stay calm when priorities shift

Why Reusables?
We're a young, ambitious team building technology that has a real-world environmental impact.

We're serious about what we do, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

No unnecessary bureaucracy.

Just smart people solving meaningful problems together.

We're still a startup, which means things move quickly, priorities evolve, and new challenges appear regularly. If you enjoy creating clarity, building systems, and helping a company scale without losing what makes it special, you'll fit right in.
