Project Manager – Digital Manufacturing, Consumer Technology

Founded in 2015 to develop the world’s first industrially scalable laser metal additive manufacturing solution, Vulcan Forms is reshaping how the world manufactures critical products. We build and operate advanced digital infrastructure that enables innovation, accelerates growth, and supports sustainability across aerospace, defense, medical, and other essential industries. Through our vertically integrated capabilities, including scalable additive manufacturing and precision machining, we deliver true end-to-end production at scale by combining cutting-edge technology with a foundation of proven industrial craftsmanship.

Our team brings deep expertise in manufacturing, materials science, software, automation, and operations, united by a shared commitment to quality, curiosity, and accountability. We foster an inclusive culture where people take ownership, solve meaningful problems, and continuously learn, because we believe diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes.

As the Staff Project Manager – Digital Manufacturing, you will lead and orchestrate our cross-functional Digital Manufacturing program as Vulcan Forms scales its advanced production operations. You will be responsible for driving the strategy, structure, and execution required to establish a robust digital manufacturing infrastructure that enables systematic manufacturing and inspection data collection, integration, storage, traceability, and utilization across our consumer technology manufacturing programs.

Operating at the intersection of process technology, software engineering, and shop-floor execution, you will serve as the central execution owner—leading alignment across NPI Engineering, Digital Engineering, Controls Engineering, IT, Operations, and Quality to translate complex technical requirements into qualified, scalable, and sustainable production systems.

• Own, establish, and govern the overall Digital Manufacturing program framework, defining scope, strategic objectives, work streams, milestones, and critical deliverables tailored to high-volume consumer technology specifications.
• Build and manage integrated, multi-track technical project plans spanning hardware/software interfaces, edge/network data infrastructure, inspection systems, and downstream analytics.
• Map critical paths, resource allocation, and complex inter-functional dependencies to ensure program deliverables are met according to committed timelines and business milestones.
• Drive alignment on complex technical requirements and system interfaces between manufacturing equipment, automated inspection systems, enterprise data pipelines, and IT/Quality/Operations software platforms.
• Lead cross-functional coordination across multidisciplinary teams—including Bluesky NPI, Digital Engineering, Controls Engineering, IT, Operations, and Quality—ensuring accountability while technical SMEs maintain domain ownership.
• Support and shepherd the seamless transition of newly developed digital tools and data architectures into sustainable, daily production use with clear operational ownership, SLAs, and support models.
• Proactively identify technical risks, architecture gaps, resource constraints, and execution bottlenecks; drive timely mitigation strategies and executive-level escalations.
• Establish a rigorous program review cadence and deliver clear, data-driven status updates, metrics, and risk assessments to executive leadership and key stakeholders.
• Ensure all technical decisions, architecture specs, interface requirements, action items, and program deliverables are comprehensively documented and maintained.
