Production Coordinator - 2nd Shift, Amazon Leo Operations Fulfillment

Job ID: 10529563 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individualhouseholds to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

We are hiring a Production Coordinator that will streamline the movement of parts between departments, areas, processes, and systems and be a creator of the systems necessary to minimize overhead, reduce non-value-add processes, improve on-time delivery of product to downstream customers, and invent methods for flexible but efficient production.

This will require a knowledgeable person of many aspects of aerospace production, including traceability, demand planning, flexible but efficient change management, broad aerospace assembly, testing, and handling requirements, application of six sigma and lean methodologies while enabling faster design changes and improvements and reducing the need for reviews, approvals, and manual interactions.

Key job responsibilities

• Work cross functionally to develop and improve production scheduling tools and WIP tracking.
• Develop processes/strategies to handle work order material discrepancies within production cells.
• Coordinate the schedule, plan, and initial staging of material/kits to all vital areas of production and test.
• Monitor, track, and move parts as required through the production flow to ensure timely delivery to next production location.
• Coordinate physical movement of parts from warehouse through production resources.
• Ensure parts are handled and protected properly.
• Work with the planning to resolve immediate floor shortages on work orders.

• Support assigned production cells with work order management activities as required.
• Communicate part status and estimated completion dates to leadership weekly.
• Assist production leadership and project teams with action item updates as required.
• Develop and maintain reports to highlight needs, deliverables and constraints as required for internal and customer use.

A day in the life

The Production Coordinator role is critical to streamlining part movement throughout the factory. This includes the monitoring of the factory operation and addressing logistical problems inside the factory.

This means regularly interacting with warehouse and logistics teams when parts are missing, late, or blocked, both physically and electronically, and then permanently solving the root cause.

This includes interfacing with the test lab for staging/queuing of products with specific focus on improved flexibility of operation while minimizing non-value add communication and operation.

It also entails constantly reducing "red tape" and overhead needed to maintain and improve quality, requiring work with automation, quality, enterprise technology, and manufacturing teams.

About the team

This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to remove non-value-add operations, reduce down-time, improve quality of the products, and reduce lead-time of builds and tests. We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.

• High school or equivalent
• Work a flexible schedule/shift/work area, including weekends, nights, and/or holidays

• 5+ years of repair of material handling equipment experience
• Experience with computer skills, including proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), or experience with Microsoft office tools like Word, Excel, Outlook, and OneNote
• Bachelor's degree, or Bachelor's degree or above
• Experience with high-volume, high-velocity, large-scale file management (workflow orchestration, file-movement, permission management, etc.)
• Experience in operations or inventory management
• Experience in manufacturing, process, or industrial engineering
• Experience with SQL and data visualization tools such as Tableau
