Factory Interface & Operations * Act as the primary interface between the core components team in Kent and the Grandview, MO manufacturing site for your products. * Partner with planning, operations, and production leads to ensure line readiness, staffing, and material availability. * Develop and maintain labor and capacity plans (touch labor and support labor) and highlight constraints early. * Monitor production performance (schedule adherence, yield, rework, scrap) and drive corrective actions with the appropriate teams. Production Readiness & Execution * Own the plan to achieve Production Readiness (PR) milestones for your products, from development through rate production. * Track and communicate schedule variances, risks, and mitigation plans to stakeholders. * Coordinate builds across multiple sites (development in Kent, manufacturing in Grandview, integration in Florida) and ensure alignment on priorities and build sequence. * Support build reviews, readiness reviews, and factory ramp activities as the accountable TPM for your scope. Cross-Functional Leadership * Serve as the "bridge builder" between engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and program management for your product lines. * Drive cross-functional issue resolution related to design for manufacturability/test (DFM/DFT), build flow, test coverage, and quality escapes. * Provide clear, structured communication on status, risks, and decisions to leadership and partner teams., * A stable, executable master production schedule for core avionics/RF assemblies that stays aligned across Kent, Grandview, and Florida. * On-time, in-full delivery of PCB/CCA-based hardware to vehicle integration, with clear ownership for resolving factory issues. * A clear and sustainable vertical integration path for key electronic assemblies, reducing reliance on external suppliers while maintaining quality and schedule. * Positive feedback from engineering and factory partners that you are the single, reliable point of coordination for your product lines.
