ABOUT THE JOB
The Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware, including static equipment, moving ground equipment, and flight vehicles. In this position, you will own large parts of the end-to-end production KPI tracking - enhancing transparency and generating actional reports to support strategic and tactical decision making. You’ll support increasing efficiencies throughout our end-to-end processes, all with a focus on introducing scale and resiliency into our growing people and tools footprint. If you thrive in fast-paced, technical environments and excel at juggling multiple responsibilities, we want to hear from you.
**WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Consider the job as a “jack of all trades” type of role and be comfortable with various types of projects, some might be more dedicated to process while others are more dedicated to enterprise system solutions
- Be proactive, self-driven and relentless when approaching problems. Don’t be afraid to charge towards a solution, if there is a clear problem or gap with the work the team does, action on it
- Be a collaborative partner, someone who doesn’t shy away from brainstorming sessions but rather is excited to learn new things from your team and the teams you are closely aligned with
- Be comfortable in an extremely fast-paced environment and be prepared to juggle a couple of projects at a time. There will be a variety of projects that can be taken on, and there is always an opportunity to dive deep or just solely “project manage” something.
- Don’t hesitate to take charge on a solution if no other team member or project stakeholder is owning a decision or suggesting a path forward. High ownership individuals thrive on this team and have big opportunities to accelerate within the organization
Systems and Processes Improvement
- Develop a deep technical understanding of how our manufacturing engineering enterprise systems (ERP, MRP, PLM etc.) function
- Leverage system feedback from all production pillars and formulate an extensive feature and system roadmap
