Job description

Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About the Role

Agility Robotics is seeking to hire a Master Production Scheduler to lead the creation of our Master Production Schedule, (MPS) in our state-of-the-art robotics manufacturing facility.

The Master Production Scheduler must be able to facilitate interdepartmental projects, lead coordinate efforts and keep track of materials in a fast paced production environment.

The scheduling of manufacturing labor, machinery and materials affect our ability to facilitate best-in-class customer experiences. The Master Production Scheduler needs to consider labor efficiency, material readiness, customer delivery performance, layers in the bill of materials, and cycle times for production cells in order to optimize production activities in an environment that oftentimes can include adversarial metrics.

The Master Production Scheduler also is responsible for creating non-standard work orders for the transformation of materials, for rework or repair of assemblies. This effort may involve quality staff, engineering support and other internal staff as needed.

The Mater Production Scheduling reports to the Director of Planning & Supply Chain and should require minimal supervision. The position involves a high degree of interaction with Manufacturing, Sales, Accounting, Purchasing, Engineering, and other company departments and requires a strong ability to exercise independent judgment.

• Develop and Maintain the master Production Schedule (MPS) consisting of work orders created in our ERP system
• Optimize the work order schedule based on material availability, labor constraints, machinery availability, and other factors
• Track production schedule attainment / adherence and change requests
• Identify risks to production and work with staff on mitigation activities
• Monitor work order aging and reschedule any missed production output within factory & material capacity constraints
• Lead scheduling meetings and provide clear visibility to all staff that rely on production information
• Use ERP functionality to track material movements, work order attainment, assembly revisions and material transformations
• Enable the configuration of simulations based on guidance to explore comparative production scenarios
• Other duties as assigned

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Operations Management, Sciences or other related field
• 4+ years of experience in production scheduling in a complex, low-volume high-mix manufacturing environment (robotics, EMS or other technology company)
• Excellent analytical skills
• Strong ability to use ERP/MRP systems
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, order processing times, material planning and manufacturing processes
• Strong ability to use analytical tools including Google Sheets and/or MS Excel
