Job description

CloudScale Systems is the kind of place where a Plant Manager with PLC Programming can rewrite an assumption that’s quietly costing us money. Net it out: internship, $128,000 - $198,000, 6 years, ownership of the business outcome, and a CloudScale Systems team that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare board-ready presentations and quarterly business reviews
• Author the playbook so the next Plant Manager doesn’t start from a blank page
• Untangle which MRP costs are fixed and which you can actually move
• Sit in on manager hiring to keep the org chart matching the strategy
• Lead due diligence on acquisition and investment opportunities

What You’ll Bring

• Working knowledge of IATF 16949 alongside transferable Work-Life Balance chops
• Comfort presenting to a CA-wide audience without a script
• Track record that proves you can unpretentious ship under deadline pressure
• A Garden Grove network, or the hustle to build one from scratch

Everything CloudScale Systems ships starts as an autonomy-driven argument in a Garden Grove conference room about how ISO 9001 should really work. We’d rather hear hard truths in the hallway than polite fictions in the all-hands.

We do not just dangle $128,000 - $198,000; we back it with mentorship, a real benefits suite, and schedules that bend around Garden Grove, CA living.

Hiring for this position is live and moving quickly, with interviews already underway.
