Director - Factory Integration & AI Enablement - Resonance : Job Details

Join to apply for the Director - Factory Integration & AI Enablement role at Resonance.

About the role: You will turn legacy factory analog chaos into a feedback-rich digital execution layer so every stitch, deviation, and defect becomes structured data that trains our AI operating system, CreateOne. You will design onboarding protocols, diagnose operational friction, and shape experiments that enable our systems to learn from people and machines in motion. You will transform cut-and-sew operations into “compute nodes”: certified factories that interpret digital instructions, execute them reliably, and stream back telemetry. You will translate tacit knowledge into deterministic inputs and build the interface where human craft and machine intelligence co-evolve.

Our platform, CreateOne, is a fully integrated, intelligent system that transforms pixels into physical clothing—coordinating design, decision-making, and manufacturing across a dynamic global network. Resonance is building the AI Operating System for Clothing and solving how to turn creative intent into real products on demand, with no inventory, no waste, and no compromise.

This is AI-first manufacturing. You will help write the protocol for how intelligence flows through atoms and contribute to an operating system that learns and adapts across the value chain from design to delivery.

About YouYou understand that the fashion industry is changing and you bring courage to break with the old to build something 100x more powerful. You are a factory whisperer—an ops leader who has modernized brown-field plants, excels at structured problem-solving, and maintains the discipline and attention to detail needed in a high-octane leadership culture.

• Bridge the analog and digital worlds of garment production.
• Help define the protocol that lets any factory become a CreateOne node.
• Translate human process understanding into machine-executable knowledge.
• Be the operational force that transforms global apparel execution.

• Factory Capability Mapping: Conduct capability audits and document factory setups (machine mix, folder attachments, operator skills). Translate floor constraints into structured inputs for MetaOne (e.g., capability matrices).
• SOP & Onboarding Protocols: Create step-by-step integration playbooks tailored to each factory's level of digital maturity. Develop training kits (video guides, templates, readiness checklists) to ensure smooth adoption.
• QA & Defect Management Enablement: Align factory practices with CreateOne's defect taxonomies and inspection protocols. Guide QC personnel in adopting AI-assisted vision tools and defect capture.
• Stakeholder Management: Build trusted relationships with factory owners and line leaders. Serve as a liaison between factory needs and the AI/engineering teams.
• Continuous Problem-Solving: Maintain a backlog of real-world pain points and work with engineers to test targeted solutions. Run structured pilot tests and document learnings for future factory enablement.

• 10+ partner factories integrated with CreateOne, producing
