Jobbeschreibung

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect Europe’s sovereignty.

We are looking for a Lead Production Planning & Control to own how TYTAN plans, schedules and controls its manufacturing — from demand to delivery. This is a leadership role within the Operations leadership team, reporting directly to the CMO. You own the full PPC (Production Planning & Control) function: the S&OP interface with Commercial, the Master Production Schedule, capacity planning, order release and shop-floor control, and the material and progress tracking behind it.

On top of the operational mandate you drive the operational excellence agenda — ERP, ISO 9001, production software, and cross-functional improvement programmes — and end-to-end project management for customer deliveries. You take over an established function in the middle of a steep ramp. The plan you build, the discipline you enforce and the systems you mature will determine how fast and how reliably we scale toward high-rate production.

Your Roadmap to Make an Impact

Production Planning & Control

• Own the Master Production Schedule (MPS) across all product lines, variants and shifts.
• Own production control: order release, dispatching, sequencing, progress tracking and back-reporting against plan.
• Define and enforce planning horizons (frozen / slushy / free) and a disciplined change-control process for plan changes.
• Own MRP logic, planning parameters and planning master data in the ERP — lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, BOM and routing planning relevance.
• Drive material availability checks and shortage management with Supply Chain, Procurement and Logistics; manage inventory and WIP targets.
• Run the operational planning rhythm: daily shortage call, production meeting, weekly plan review.
• Own the S&OP / SIOP process with the Commercial team — the single link between committed demand and operational capacity.
• Maintain the strategic multi-year forecast and the 12-month rolling technical plan, and cascade them into short-term detailed plans.
• Feed capacity and supply reality back into commercial commitments so dates are promised on facts, not hope.

Capacity & Ramp-up Planning

• Build and maintain the capacity model: labour, workstations, test and integration equipment, bottleneck resources.
• Plan capacity against the ramp-up profile toward serial rate; surface constraints early and drive resolution with Industrialisation and Manufacturing Engineering.
• Run scenario and what-if planning for demand shifts, new variants and engineering changes.
• Plan the cut-in points for engineering changes and configuration updates with Engineering and Quality.

Operational Excellence & Programmes

• Drive the cross-functional programme portfolio for Operations: ERP rollout and development, ISO 9001, production and shop-floor software, digitalisation of planning.
• Own process architecture, SOPs and standards for planning and control — audit-ready by design.
• Lead continuous improvement across Operations (lean methods, bottleneck and flow analysis, waste elimination) with measurable results, not initiatives.
• Provide end-to-end project management for customer deliveries, holding the thread across Production, Supply Chain, Logistics, Quality and Engineering.

Leadership & Performance

• Lead, coach and grow the planning and excellence team — planners, schedulers and project managers — as volume scales.
• Own the KPI set: schedule adherence, plan stability, OTD, capacity utilisation, inventory turns, open shortages, and make status, risk and options transparent to the CMO and leadership team.
• Act as escalation and decision point for planning conflicts between Commercial and Operations.
• Contribute as a member of the Operations leadership team to the division's strategy and priorities.

Job requirements

• Degree in Industrial Engineering, Production / Operations Management, Supply Chain Management or comparable.
• 7+ years in production planning & control, master scheduling or operations planning in manufacturing, with proven leadership of a team.
• Deep, hands-on command of PPC: MPS, MRP, capacity planning, scheduling, shop-floor control, master data quality.
• Solid experience owning or running an S&OP / SIOP process with commercial counterparts.
• Track record in ramp-up or scale-up environments — moving from low-rate to serial production is a strong plus.
• Demonstrated operational excellence / CI delivery (lean, Six Sigma or equivalent) and experience running ERP or process programmes end-to-end.
• Hands-on ERP experience (Odoo, SAP or comparable); strong analytical and data skills.
• Structured and decisive — comfortable planning under uncertainty and with incomplete data.
• Credible with the shop floor and with commercial stakeholders alike; holds standards without losing the room.
• Hands-on ownership mindset: builds and matures the function rather than administering it.
• Fluency in German and English.
• Willingness to work in a defense environment, including export-control-relevant and KWL-controlled goods.
