Обязанности
- ’s Demand & Supply Planning team is seeking an exceptional Material Planner to drive material availability for cutting-edge defense hardware—spanning static sensor platforms, mobile ground equipment, and flight vehicles. In this role, you will hold end-to-end material flow ownership across the value chain, from raw components through to finished goods. You won’t just manage tickets; you will own specific product lines and assemblies, serving as the critical link that dictates to Purchasing and Manufacturing exactly what to build/buy, how many and when. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, rapidly iterating environment where engineering designs evolve quickly. You possess a bias toward action, absolute accountability, and the problem-solving grit needed to ensure our production lines never miss a beat.
- 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.
- Consumables & Floor Stock Strategy: Design and manage replenishment strategies (e.g., Kanban, Min/Max) for production consumables, fasteners, and floor stock to ensure uninterrupted assembly.
- Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate daily across Production, Quality, Logistics and Sourcing to reallocate materials, resolve Non-Conforming Material (MRB) holdups and expedite critical parts
- Champion Process Improvement: Actively hunt for inefficiencies, manual workarounds and gaps across planning, warehousing and inventory systems. Don't wait for permission or instructions—take the initiative to design scalable solutions, rally cross-functional partners (Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, etc), and lead the charge from concept to execution.
Требования
- 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 Ownership & Initiative: A proven track record of identifying broken or inefficient operational processes and autonomously leading the charge to implement corrective, scalable solutions.
- Demonstrated experience managing complex Bills of Materials involving electro-mechanical assemblies, wire harnesses or precision-machined structures.
- Hands-on experience operating within ERP/MRP systems (Oracle strongly preferred; SAP, Netsuite or similar accepted).
- Strong data manipulation skills in Excel (Pivot Tables, XLOOKUP, index/match) to build models and shortage trackers from scratch.
- Willingness and ability to travel up to 15–20%.
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance (U.S. Citizenship required).
- Ability to work full-time onsite in Irvine, CA (or relocate prior to starting).
Будет плюсом
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
- Experience in NPI (New Product Introduction) environments where engineering changes occur frequently and rapidly.
- Experience leading Kaizen events, value-stream mapping and/or cross-functional operational improvement projects that delivered measurable results in inventory accuracy, cycle time reduction or shortage prevention.
- Self-starter mindset: A proven track record of resolving complex operational bottlenecks with minimal supervision and high agency.
