• Coordinate workflow across departments—assembly, quality assurance, and shipping—to ensure smooth, on‑time delivery.
• Ensure manufactured parts move smoothly across departments preventing bottlenecks/delays as products are manufactured and inspected.
• Maintain the production plan with accurate WIP status and identify scheduling conflicts. Facilitate the daily production status meeting and routinely update the production plan with latest status.
• Generate and process production orders required to support the production schedule.
• Monitor production performance: track key metrics, spot bottlenecks, and implement timely improvements.
• Enforce strict in‑process quality control to ensure products meet proper specifications and aerospace/military standards.
• Facilitate continuous process improvements by tracking production data, identifying inefficiencies, and suggesting optimizations.
• Promote a safe working environment: uphold safety protocols and ensure team compliance with company policies.
• Support and mentor production staff: provide training, performance feedback, and guidance on operational and technical best practices.
• Escalate constraints, material shortages, or quality holds to the Operations Manager with timely and accurate information.

• 4–8 years of operations or manufacturing supervision/management experience, preferably in aerospace, electrical connectors, or similar technical manufacturing environments.
• Proven ability to lead production teams and drive performance, accountability, and collaboration on the shop floor.
• Solid understanding of production planning, workflow management, WIP tracking, and quality standards.
• Experience acting as a key communicator between the production flow and upper management.
• Analytical mindset: comfortable interpreting production metrics and using data to guide decisions.
• Familiarity with molding or manufacturing electrical connectors is a significant plus.
• Excellent communication skills: capable of coordinating across departments and reporting effectively to senior leadership.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory; equivalent experience considered.
