  • Lead end‑to‑end manufacturing operations (forging, machining, threading, finishing, inspection) to ensure delivery, cost, and quality goals are met
  • Instill and sustain Lean / Continuous Improvement practices (5S, Kaizen, SMED, value stream mapping) to reduce waste and elevate productivity
  • Design, monitor, and manage KPIs across Safety, Quality, Cost & Delivery (SQCD)
  • Coach, mentor, and lead production supervisors and frontline staff, instituting performance management and development frameworks
  • Implement cross‑training initiatives to boost flexibility and mitigate bottlenecks
  • Drive process improvement events, root cause analyses, and continuous improvement efforts
  • Collaborate with Quality & Engineering on audits, validations, corrective actions, and compliance (e.g. AS9100, NADCAP)
  • Partner with Supply Chain / Procurement to align materials flow, outsource processes, and vendor performance
  • Oversee safety, compliance, and environmental processes on the shop floor
  • Lead daily ops meetings, planning sessions, resource allocation, and capital / tooling investment decisions
  • Manage operations cost, budgets, and capital requests
  • Key Qualifications & Skills

  • 7‑10+ years in operational leadership in a regulated manufacturing environment (aerospace, defense, precision components)
  • Hands‑on understanding of precision manufacturing : forging, grinding, threading, coatings, inspection
  • Track record managing multi‑shift operations and leading supervisors & shop floor teams
  • Deep experience applying Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement tools
  • Working knowledge of AS9100, NADCAP, or equivalently rigorous systems
  • Experience with ERP / MES systems (scheduling, MRP, production tracking)
  • Bilingual English / Spanish (essential for workforce communication)
