Hands-On Aerospace Production Leader

Cenith Innovations LLC; Bend (OR); Vor Ort; USD 90.000 - 130.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Cenith Innovations seeks a hands-on Production Manager to turn heavy-lift drone designs into a safe, repeatable manufacturing operation. You will lead cross-functional teams to translate designs into executable build plans, maintain schedules, and drive material readiness.

The role requires aerospace or regulated hardware experience, ownership of production quality controls, and a strong background in readings drawings, BOMs, and inspection.

Qualifikationen

• Direct experience in aerospace/UAS/defense or regulated hardware.
• Own build plans, manufacturing-readiness processes, or production quality controls.
• Participation in prototype, NPI, pilot, or early-rate production with deliverables owned.
• Ability to read drawings, schematics, BOMs, work instructions, and technical specs.
• Experience with nonconformance, root-cause analysis, corrective action, configuration control, traceability, and inspection.
• Familiarity with ERP and MRP, work orders, inventory transactions, and production reporting.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and keep work moving in evolving production.

Aufgaben

• Translate product designs and demand into executable build plans (assembly sequence, labor, materials, tooling, inspection, test).
• Own the day-to-day production schedule and deliver aircraft to schedule; ~50% hands-on involvement.
• Lead daily production coordination and remove blockers before they disrupt builds.
• Collaborate with inventory management to maintain material status and kit readiness.
• Define and manage manufacturing-readiness reviews for designs, BOMs, tooling, trained labor, and capacity.
• Establish controlled work instructions, travelers, routings, training, meetings, metrics, escalation paths.
• Use ERP/MRP to manage work orders, routings, material status, and reporting; coordinate with engineering changes.
• Partner with engineering to implement changes without disrupting work in process.
