• Own the financial performance of manufacturing operations by developing and managing budgets, monitoring KPIs, identifying cost‑saving opportunities, and driving process improvements that positively impact margins and performance.
• Lead continuous improvement: drive Lean manufacturing initiatives, Six Sigma projects, and technology upgrades that improve productivity, efficiency, and scalability. Keep a strong customer focus, ensuring delivery commitments are met and product quality consistently exceeds expectations.

What You Bring

• “Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Electronics, Business Administration, or a related field” along with five or more years of progressive leadership experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably with electronics manufacturing experience.
• A confident, approachable leader with strong communication skills and a proven ability to drive results through people.
• Solid analytical and problem‑solving skills, hands‑on experience with Lean, Six Sigma, or similar continuous‑improvement methodologies, and a strong understanding of safety, environmental compliance, and quality systems.
• Comfort with ERP systems and Microsoft Office is expected, as is the ability to perform well in a fast‑paced, goal‑driven environment.
