Full-Time, Exempt | Lenexa, Kansas |

Reports to:

General Manager

Lyn Tec designs and manufactures innovative power control solutions used in performance venues, commercial facilities, and mission‑critical environments worldwide.

We're looking for a collaborative, hands‑on Production Manager who enjoys building efficient manufacturing systems as much as building great teams. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving technical problems, improving processes, and developing employees who take ownership of their work.

We welcome candidates from adjacent technical industries—including industrial automation, OEM equipment manufacturing, PLC and controls integration, water or wastewater systems, instrumentation, HVAC controls, avionics, robotics, and other technical manufacturing environments.

If you're ready to trade travel, job sites, and unpredictable hours for a stable manufacturing environment where your leadership has a visible impact every day, we'd like to meet you!

Include the following essential duties and responsibilities. Other duties may be assigned.

You'll lead a highly skilled production team responsible for assembling, testing, and shipping Lyn Tec products.

• Coach employees to become confident, independent problem-solvers rather than relying on constant direction.
• Foster a culture of accountability, ownership, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
• Develop employee skills through coaching, cross‑training, and regular feedback.
• Conduct meaningful performance evaluations focused on technical growth, initiative, and professional development.
• Promote open communication and collaboration across Production, Engineering, Inventory, and Sales.

You'll oversee daily manufacturing operations while ensuring every product meets Lyn Tec’s quality standards.

• Partner with Engineering during prototype builds and product changes.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing, electrical, and testing issues.
• Maintain high standards for quality, safety, and workmanship.

You’ll work closely with other departments to ensure upcoming production is fully supported.

• Partner with cross‑functional teams to review upcoming production schedules and verify manufacturing readiness.
• Identify material shortages, engineering changes, capacity constraints, or other production risks before they affect customer deliveries.
• Communicate potential issues early and collaborate on practical solutions.
• Maintain accurate production documentation, quality records, and manufacturing metrics.
• Support inventory accuracy and component availability.
• Ensure compliance with external certification requirements and company quality procedures.
• Use production data to recommend workflow improvements and increase operational efficiency.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys improving both systems and people.

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Engineering Technology, Industrial Technology, or related field, equivalent hands‑on leadership experience is equally valued.
• 5+ years leading production, manufacturing, assembly, or technical operations teams.
• Experience in industrial manufacturing, automation, controls, machinery, instrumentation, or another technical manufacturing environment.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to…
