Material Planner

Job Summary

We are seeking a Material Planner who thrives in a fast‑paced, execution‑driven satellite manufacturing environment. This role owns material readiness for assigned assemblies from MRP signal to hardware on the floor. You will be expected to understand your assemblies deeply, surface problems before they become schedule impacts, and drive resolution across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing without waiting to be told. This position will sit onsite at our office in El Segundo, CA.

• Own the full material readiness picture for assigned assemblies, acting as the single point of accountability from MRP signal to hardware availability.
• Disposition MRP action messages daily; release MOs, generate PRs, and issue reschedule recommendations with the speed and accuracy the production schedule demands.
• Anticipate shortages before they appear on a report, analyze demand, lead times, and supplier performance proactively and bring solutions, not just problems.
• Drive ECD alignment with Program Schedulers, Manufacturing Engineers, and the buying team; own your dates and defend them with data.
• Validate eBOM‑to‑mBOM conversions in Costpoint; identify and correct data integrity issues (lead times, yield, attrition, UOM, min/max) that corrupt MRP output before they corrupt the schedule.
• Generate shortage reports, kitting status, and material readiness assessments that are accurate, timely, and stakeholder‑ready—no chasing, no follow‑up needed.
• Communicate material, MO, and PO status to Program Control, IMS Schedulers, Quality, and Manufacturing with clarity.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings; understand how releases migrate from eBOM through Teamcenter into Costpoint and what breaks when that process fails.
• Escalate critical path constraints with supporting data and a recommended course of action; never escalates a problem without a proposed solution.
• Hold cross‑functional partners accountable to commitments that affect your programs; this role requires influence without authority, executed with urgency.

• Aerospace or Defense industry experience.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems.
• Experience reading engineering drawings.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is required. A final U.S. clearance post‑start is required.

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Industrial Engineering, Business, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in material planning, supply chain coordination, or production scheduling in a manufacturing environment.
• Experience tracing BOM structures from design intent to production execution.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under schedule pressure without losing accuracy.
• Hands‑on experience with Deltek Costpoint, MRP, MO management, and purchasing modules.
• Familiarity with Teamcenter PLM and the eBOM‑to‑mBOM conversion process.
• Exposure to DCMA MMAS compliance standards or equivalent government material accountability frameworks.
• Experience in satellite, space vehicle, or defense hardware manufacturing.
• Proficiency in Excel, Power BI, or equivalent tools for shortage analysis and reporting.
