Manufacturing Lead Recruiter

RecruiterInstrumental builds the manufacturing acceleration platform behind the world's most complex electronics. We capture digital exhaust and engineering context from assembly lines — images, test logs, BOM data, performance, repair cycles — and our AI engines identify insights that are difficult or impossible for human engineers to find. We accelerate the companies building the AI era by improving manufacturing yield, throughput, and ramp. NVIDIA, Meta, L3Harris, and their manufacturing partners rely on Instrumental to accelerate new product introduction and production. Over the next year, we'll be building the team that defines Instrumental's next chapter — and the recruiter who joins now will shape that as much as anyone. You'll partner directly with founders, executives, and hiring managers — not just to fill roles, but to raise the bar on how we hire.Own full-cycle recruiting for our hardest technical and business roles — the ones where the obvious sourcing plan doesn't work, and you have to build a new one.Make hiring managers better at hiring. You'll push back when a rubric is vague, a loop is testing the wrong thing, or a "no" doesn't hold up under scrutiny. You'll make judgment calls, iterate in real time, and adjust strategy mid-search — all while keeping hiring managers, candidates, and the rest of the team aligned and informed. Better sourcing strategies, smarter use of AI tools, a sharper candidate experience — you'll leave the recruiting org meaningfully better than you found it, and you'll do it in a way that earns buy-in rather than working around people.When a search stalls, you wait for direction instead of testing a new approach yourself.You've mostly recruited for brands candidates already want to work for — this job is proactive, not inbound.You measure success by "we made a hire" rather than "we made the right hire, and the team trusts how we got there."Requirements:3+ years as a full-cycle technical recruiter at a fast-growing company (
