Proven ability to read and interpret production schedules, bills of material, and shop floor routing documentation.
5+ years of experience in a high-rate or complex assembly production environment, preferably in aerospace or rocket propulsion hardware.
Experience directly supporting production planning cadences (daily stand-ups, weekly scheduling, multi-week look-aheads) and translating plans into floor execution.
Demonstrated track record of driving accountability across cross-functional teams without direct authority — persistent, organized, and effective under pressure.

Responsibilities
Maintain real-time physical and system-level awareness of hardware location, status, and readiness across the entire production flow — from raw material receipt through final assembly — proactively identifying at-risk, stalled, or missing hardware before it impacts the build schedule.
Drive recovery actions on constrained hardware by evaluating and executing expedite paths including priority re-sequencing, overtime acceleration, parallel processing, expedited inspection, and inter-cell reallocation; present options with clear impact assessments to Ops Leadership and Production Control for rapid decision-making.
Directly support the creation, maintenance, and execution of Daily, Weekly, 2-Week, and Monthly Production Plans by translating planning requirements into actionable hardware staging priorities and ensuring floor-level activity aligns to committed schedules.
Coordinate cross-functionally with kitting, staging, material handling, inspection, quality, MRB, and receiving teams to pull hardware through bottlenecks, resolve discrepancies between physical inventory and system records, and ensure on-time delivery to point-of-use.
Maintain rigorous documentation of hardware status, recovery actions, and escalation history; communicate constraints, risks, and resolution paths clearly and consistently to Ops Leadership, Production Control, and cross-functional stakeholders through established reporting cadences.
