Manufacturing Project Manager

Location: Westfield, IN

Department: Engineering / Operations

Reports to: Director of Operations

Employment Type: Full‑Time

Salary Range: $75k - $85k commensurate on experience

We're hiring a Manufacturing Project Manager to lead complex electronics manufacturing and process improvement projects from concept through completion. In this role, you'll partner with engineers, production teams, suppliers, and customers to deliver technical systems on time, on budget, and to spec. Your projects will range from test equipment builds and custom electronic assemblies to production process improvements and engineering documentation development.

• Lead cross‑functional manufacturing projects from requirements gathering through final delivery
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and technical documentation with minimal oversight
• Translate customer Statements of Work (SOW) and internal requirements into actionable project plans
• Coordinate procurement, fabrication, assembly, and installation activities across departments
• Manage production resources and drive schedule execution to meet customer commitments
• Track and control project budgets covering labor, materials, subcontractors, and overhead
• Support quoting and estimating efforts through accurate material and labor analysis
• Create and refine engineering documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Bills of Material (BOMs)
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using metrics, root‑cause analysis, and lean methodologies
• Facilitate clear communication between customers, vendors, engineering, and production teams

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or similar), Supply Chain & Operations Management, Industrial or Manufacturing Technology Management, Operations Management, Business, Project Management, or Organizational Leadership
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with near‑complete independence
• Proven experience authoring and maintaining structured technical documentation, SOPs, and work instructions
• Strong skills in Microsoft Excel, Gantt chart tools, and project scheduling platforms (MS Project, Smartsheet, Asana, , or similar)
• Comfortable with data analysis, KPI tracking, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Experience with Bills of Material (BOMs), MRP/ERP systems (M1, Epicor, Net Suite, SAP), or production support
• Working knowledge of lean manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen, Six Sigma, or DMAIC methodologies
• PMP, CAPM, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, or similar project management certification
• Background in electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, test equipment development, or contract manufacturing (EMS)
• Experience supporting quoting, estimating, or cost analysis for custom builds

The right candidate is a self‑starter who owns outcomes without needing close supervision. You communicate clearly with both technical engineers and non‑technical stakeholders, you stay organized when priorities shift mid‑week, and you have the discipline to document your work as you go rather than after the fact. You're comfortable saying "I don't know yet — I'll find out" and then actually finding out.

You take initiative, ask sharp questions, and translate ambiguity into action plans. You're equally at home in a customer meeting, a production huddle, or a quiet hour building a project schedule.

In your first 90 days, you'll get up to speed on our project portfolio, manufacturing capabilities, and key customer accounts. By six months, you'll independently manage a slate of active projects, drive at least one measurable process improvement, and become a trusted point of contact for cross‑functional coordination. Long‑term, you'll help mature our project management practices and shape how we scale.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or current Green Card holders due to our military contracts. We cannot sponsor visas.

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Match

• Dynamic work environment with real ownership over your role
