Air Pro Diagnostics is seeking an experienced, hands-on General Manager of Manufacturing and Assembly to lead and scale our manufacturing, assembly, inventory, procurement, quality, calibration, warehousing, and shipping operations.

This is a critical leadership role responsible for bringing structure, discipline, and operational excellence to a growing manufacturing environment.
