About Us:

Kite Magnetics, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, is an advanced materials engineering and manufacturing company. Our innovative and patented technology, Aeroperm®, a nanocrystalline magnetic material developed at Monash University, delivers unparalleled efficiency in electric motors and generators. Designed for weight-sensitive and energy-intensive applications, Aeroperm® significantly reduces the total cost of ownership while enhancing system performance. As industry leaders, we are committed to transforming global energy efficiency through cutting-edge materials science.

Position Overview:

As we expand into new R&D and pilot manufacturing premises, we seek a dynamic, experienced, and highly skilled Head of Manufacturing to assist with the commissioning of our pilot-scale production line and then lead the establishment of a first-class manufacturing team and our first advanced manufacturing facility. This role will encompass operations, planning, verification, installation, commissioning, validation, and scaling of production processes, driving process improvements, and ensuring that capability, capacity, and modular scalability targets are validated for subsequent volume manufacturing operations.

What this position will look like in the first 3, 12 and 24 months:

In your first 3 months, you'll go deep with our people and our tech, becoming intimately familiar with Aeroperm nanocrystalline magnetic material production and its conversion into radial-flux motor cores end-to-end. You'll build a precise understanding of our world-leading process, its current maturity and constraints, and the roadmap to true mass production, then help design the next-generation pilot line to prove those steps. By 12 months, you will have authored and socialised a complete plan to design, build and commission our first mass-production lines, owning the program schedule and budget while actively recruiting and shaping two new engineering teams to deliver it. By 24 months, you will have led the build and commissioning of those lines to readiness for deployment at our international facilities, locking in capability, capacity and quality targets, standing up the operating system that scales (people, processes, metrics), and handing a repeatable playbook to replicate globally. If you love turning breakthrough materials into beautifully repeatable factories, this is your moment.
