Develop and mentor team members through training, performance management, career progression, hiring, and discipline. Drive continuous improvement using Lean principles, Kaizen, 5S, Value Stream Mapping, and other tools to eliminate waste, reduce cycle time, lower costs, and improve throughput and quality. Develop and execute daily production plans, prioritizing work based on customer commitments, manpower, equipment capacity, and material availability. Analyze production data, resolve operational issues, and lead root cause analysis (5Why, 8D, A3) and corrective actions to maintain quality and meet customer requirements. Partner with engineering and process leaders on design for manufacturability, process standardization, and variation reduction. Act as the primary technical decision-maker for the team on production, efficiency, and personnel matters. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Associate’s degree & 3+ years of experience in a manufacturing/test environment, or 5+ years of experience without a degree. 3+ years of hands-on experience with safety-critical systems, mechanical assemblies, automated equipment, and multi-axis heavy equipment. 3+ years of formal team leadership experience. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Bachelor’s degree in science, engineering, operations management, or math discipline. 3+ years managing production teams in a semiconductor back-end cleanroom environment (NPI/ Assembly & Test experience strongly preferred). Strong working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, 5S/6S, Six Sigma (DMAIC), SPC, FMEA, and Theory of Constraints (TOC). Experience with flight-quality or high-reliability hardware in a fast-paced production setting. Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification (ASQ preferred). Experience in low-mix, high-volume manufacturing under ISO9001 or AS9100. Proficient with MS Office, ERP/MRP systems; Power BI and SQL experience is a plus. Ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a high-growth environment. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
