ABOUT US
Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction.
Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered.
We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us.
THE ROLE
This is a hands-on HR role for someone who loves being close to the work. You'll be the day-to-day HR presence for our production team: on the floor, easy to find, and the person who makes sure things get done right. You'll run onboarding for a fast-growing hourly workforce, keep our records and compliance tight, and be a trusted first stop for employees and frontline managers.
This role is right for someone who takes initiative, sweats the details, and wants to grow fast in a company that's scaling. You'll report to the Head of People, who will mentor you directly, and you'll work closely with factory operations leadership every day.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Factory People Support
Be the go-to HR contact for factory employees and frontline managers, visible and approachable on the floor
Serve as a first point of contact for employee questions and concerns, and escalate employee relations issues to the Head of People
Help with investigations and document employee relations matters accurately and on time
Help prepare documentation for performance improvement plans and disciplinary actions
Keep factory ops leadership up to date on headcount, schedules, and staffing needs
Onboarding & Talent
Run end-to-end onboarding for 4–6 new hires per month, and more as we ramp: offer paperwork, Day 1 logistics, orientation, and safety training coordination
Create and maintain onboarding materials and checklists for production roles
Coordinate with recruiting vendors to schedule interviews and keep candidates moving
Track early attrition and new-hire feedback, and share what you notice
Support internal moves and promotions for factory employees
Compliance & Recordkeeping
Keep I-9s, personnel files, and hourly employee records accurate and audit-ready
Help make sure we follow break, meal period, overtime, and wage and hour rules
Maintain the OSHA 300 log and support incident reporting with our safety and ops teams
Coordinate workers' compensation claims and return-to-work paperwork
Run regular file and process audits, and follow through on closing any gaps
Keep Rippling data clean and current
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
2–5 years of HR, recruiting, or people operations experience. Experience with hourly, manufacturing, construction, warehouse, or other frontline workforces is a big plus
Very organized and detail-oriented: you catch the missing signature before anyone else does
Takes initiative and follows through without needing to be chased
Comfortable on a factory floor and at ease with people in every role
Familiarity with I-9s, wage and hour basics, or OSHA recordkeeping, or a strong interest in learning them
HRIS experience (Rippling a plus)
Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
Optional: an HR certification (aPHR, SHRM-CP) or coursework
