  • Steward the operating budget and push margin efficiency and cost discipline
  • Keep the site aligned to the AS9100 Rev D system and to ITAR and US export control rules
  • Champion lean problem solving to lift machine uptime throughput and lights out capacity

Operations Manager | What It Takes

  • A track record of eight or more years leading operations in a manufacturing setting
  • Time spent in aerospace defense precision machining or another regulated industry is a strong plus
  • Experience owning several functions at once such as production quality and supply chain
  • Comfort living in an ERP or MRP system day to day
  • Familiarity with AS9100 along with ITAR and export control expectations is preferred
  • A history of driving lean and continuous improvement when the pace is high
  • A degree in engineering operations business or a related field is preferred
  • Sharp financial and analytical instincts paired with people leadership that builds culture and accountability
