Production & Material Scheduling: Build, maintain and execute dynamic production plans. Translate engineering demand into executable build schedules, aligning closely with Strategic Sourcing and Purchasing to guarantee component availability
Clear-to-Build (CTB) Management: Maintain real-time shortage visibility across active programs. Generate actionable CTB reports to proactively flag risks, prioritize dock-to-stock material flow and prevent line-down situations.
Engineering Change Implementation (ECO/ECN): Partner directly with Hardware Engineering to assess inventory exposure, manage revision cut-ins and minimize scrap during rapid design iterations.
Supply Signaling & Forecasting: Provide forward-looking demand signals to Strategic Sourcing and Procurement for long-lead, custom mechanical and electrical components.
ERP & Master Data Hygiene: Take direct ownership of MRP parameters within Oracle (lead times, safety stocks, reorder points, scrap factors, and Bills of Materials) to ensure system recommendations reflect reality.

Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate daily across Production, Quality, Logistics and Sourcing to reallocate materials, resolve Non-Conforming Material (MRB) holdups and expedite critical parts

Required Qualifications
3+ years of material planning, production control or supply chain experience in a high-mix or fast-paced manufacturing environment (e.g., aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, or complex electronics).

Demonstrated experience managing complex Bills of Materials involving electro-mechanical assemblies, wire harnesses or precision-machined structures.
