About This Job


Who we are:

We are on a mission to become a leading supplier of critical materials that enable the green energy and technology revolution. Our materials and technologies are required for the electric vehicle, green energy, consumer electronics, and defense industries, and our battery grade lithium and tech metals are needed for chipsets, semiconductors, and 5G.

We have a substantial interest in the Round Top, Heavy Rare Earth, Lithium and Critical Minerals deposit in West Texas. We have also developed the United States’ first rare earth and critical minerals processing facility and we own the only scalable, sintered neo-magnet manufacturing system in the Western Hemisphere. By developing this fully integrated, US-based “mine-to-magnet” critical mineral supply chain, we are poised to become the leading domestic supplier to these industries.


What you can expect:

At USA Rare Earth, we are pioneers and problem solvers, technologists and team players. Together, we:

Build Solutions: If our task was a simple one, it would already be done. We are creative and solution-oriented, and we think outside the box to solve important problems. We know that a range of expertise and technologies is needed for success, and we work across sectors and alongside customers to deliver world-class solutions in sustainable ways.

Deliver Quality: When we do things, we do them well. We believe that top-tier quality leads to industry competitiveness and we hold ourselves to the highest quality standards. We move fast when executing, but safety, quality, and excellence always come first.

Lead responsibly: We have a responsibility to the planet, our consumers, our country, and each other. We put safety at the center of all we do, take accountability for our actions, incorporate sustainable practices in our processes and act with the financial best interest of our investors and consumers in mind.

Win Together: Establishing a rare earth magnet supply chain is a big undertaking – and getting there is a team effort. We communicate openly, work together and challenge each other in pursuit of our goals. With every step we take we learn and get better.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a driven and detail-oriented Team Manager to oversee shift operations in our advanced magnet manufacturing facility. As part of a fast-paced startup environment, you will play a critical role in scaling production processes for rare earth and permanent magnet components. You will lead a hands-on team to ensure safety, quality, and throughput targets are met, while fostering a culture of operational discipline and continuous improvement.


Key Responsibilities:

Supervise daily shift operations in the production of magnetic materials and components, ensuring compliance with safety, quality, and performance standards.

Lead, coach, and coordinate a team of production technicians in sintering, pressing, machining, coating, or assembly of magnetic parts.
Monitor production metrics such as yield, cycle time, scrap rate, and equipment uptime; identify root causes of issues and drive corrective actions.
Execute and refine shift schedules and production workflows based on magnetic material processing constraints (e.g., thermal profiles, magnetic alignment).
Coordinate with maintenance and engineering teams to manage equipment reliability and downtime planning.
Drive process improvements focused on lean manufacturing, throughput optimization, and material utilization specific to magnet fabrication.
Ensure staff are trained on safe handling of magnetic materials, high-temperature equipment, and sensitive instrumentation.
Maintain compliance with environmental and safety regulations specific to rare earth material processing.
Support new process rollouts and the scaling of pilot lines to full production.


Qualifications:

5+ years of production experience in a technical manufacturing environment; magnetics, ceramics, powder metallurgy, or similar experience strongly preferred.
3+ years in a supervisory or team lead role.
Experience working in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing facility.
Demonstrated ability to assist in the creation and development of training programs and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Solid understanding of magnetic material properties and processing (e.g., NdFeB, SmCo, ferrites) is a strong advantage.
Skilled in interpreting production data, solving operational problems, and implementing practical improvements.
Comfortable working in a startup environment—adaptable, hands-on, and collaborative.
