Strong ERP experience such as Epicor, SAP, or similar, including MBOMs, routings, and production data structures.
Experience reconciling engineering and manufacturing BOM structures, preferably using PLM systems such as Teamcenter or similar.
Hands-on understanding of manufacturing operations and how products are actually built on the shop floor.
Experience with engineering change management, configuration control, effectivity, and revision management.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-influence skills.
- Aircraft manufacturing experience, knowledge of AS9100 or regulated manufacturing environments, exposure to MRP systems, Lean Manufacturing, continuous improvement, or digital work instructions. A technical degree is preferred but not the only path to success.
The compensation range is $75,000 to $85,000 in base salary plus an annual target bonus.
