Job summary

Veeco is seeking a Production Planner / Scheduler at our Somerset, NJ facility to manage daily work orders and short-term production schedules. You will collaborate with Manufacturing Supervisors, Production Managers, Supply Chain, Stores, Quality, and Engineering to align builds with delivery commitments.

The role emphasizes manufacturing execution, not long-range planning, with a hybrid work arrangement: 3 days onsite and 2 days remote, including 5 days onsite during training for 3–6 months.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required or related field.
• Minimum 2 years of related experience in manufacturing planning, production scheduling, or production control; or a master's degree with no prior related experience; or equivalent education and experience will be considered.
• Experience with SAP production planning, work order management, or MRP execution (preferred).

Responsibilities

• Manage daily work orders in SAP including release, prioritization, sequencing, status, and closure.
• Build and adjust short-term production schedules based on material availability, labor, capacity, and shop-floor conditions.
• Monitor open, in-process, constrained, and late work orders; identify execution gaps and take defined recovery actions or escalate when additional support is required.
• Reprioritize and reschedule work to address material shortages, rework, labor constraints, capacity disruptions, and expedite requests.
• Act on MRP exception messages as execution signals for assigned work orders.
• Maintain accurate SAP data, including work order status, priorities, lead times, quantities, and completion information.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing Supervisors and Production Managers to confirm build priorities and communicate clear schedule direction to the shop floor.
• Coordinate with Supply Chain and Stores to resolve material constraints affecting assigned schedules.
• Support ECNs and MRB dispositions within active work orders.
• Participate in daily production, shortage, and schedule-recovery reviews; provide updates on risks, commitments, and expected completion dates.
• Use established planning and production-control practices to support schedule adherence, WIP control, throughput, and data accuracy.
• Identify recurring execution issues and recommend improvements to scheduling, work order control, or production flow.
