Job description

Position Overview

603 Manufacturing is a high-reliability cable and harness manufacturer serving space, aerospace, and defense customers. We build mission-critical hardware where workmanship, documentation discipline, and on-time delivery are non-negotiable.

The Production Supervisor leads daily operations on the shop floor, ensuring safe, efficient execution of complex Class 3 and Space Addendum assemblies. This role is hands‑on and highly visible. The Supervisor drives schedule adherence, labor efficiency, quality performance, and team development while maintaining strict compliance with AS9100 and customer‑specific workmanship standards.

• Conduct daily tier meetings focused on safety, quality, and delivery
• Promote cross‑training and workforce flexibility
• Reinforce accountability and performance standards
• Support formal training requirements and certification tracking

Continuous Improvement

• Identify and eliminate waste (travel, waiting, excess handling, rework)
• Improve work cell layout and flow
• Support lean initiatives and standard work development
• Drive measurable improvements in throughput and efficiency

Compliance & Safety

• Ensure AS9100 process compliance within production areas
• Maintain ITAR and controlled data discipline
• Enforce ESD and FOD controls
• Maintain safe, organized work environments

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, or high‑reliability manufacturing
• 2+ years of leadership or supervisory experience
• Strong understanding of IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 (Space Addendum preferred)
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and build documentation
• Experience working within AS9100 environments
• Strong problem‑solving skills and bias toward action

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting commercial space or launch vehicle programs
• Lean manufacturing experience
• ERP experience (Epicor preferred)
• Experience in controlled technical data environments (ITAR)

What Success Looks Like at 603

• Production schedules consistently achieved
• Improved labor efficiency and reduced stagnation in work cells
• High workmanship discipline and audit‑ready documentation
