Program coordinator Jobs in Santa Ana, CA

Program Supply Chain Coordinator

DZYNE Technologies was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with World View, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next-generation U.S. defense platform integrating long-endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter-UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.

While DZYNE is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as DZYNE as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross-posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.

What does this mean for candidates?

• You're joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
• You'll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission-proven technology.
• You'll work alongside world-class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high-impact ISR capabilities, leading counter-UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
• You'll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.

Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.

If you're energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we'd love to have you on the team.

Position Description: The Program Supply Chain Coordinator is the operational owner of program-level supply chain demand, priorities, and execution. This role ensures end-to-end alignment between the program build plan, material availability, supplier performance and escalation, and internal capacity constraints. Operating within a dynamic UAV production environment with evolving processes, this role acts as both strategic integrator and tactical driver balancing near-term execution needs with long-term material and capacity planning. You will interface daily with Program Management, Operations, Procurement, Engineering, and Quality to ensure supply chain readiness and execution that meets program schedule, cost, and customer commitments.

• Maintain a consolidated view of program priorities, ensuring daily/weekly actions are aligned with the critical path.
• Drive end-to-end execution of material readiness for builds, flight tests, demos, and deliveries.
• Monitor shortages, lead cross-functional triage, and drive recovery plans to protect program milestones.
• Ensure supplier commitments, internal work order releases, and logistics flows support execution cadence.
• Publish a clear "single source of truth" for program material status, risks, and delivery outlook.
• Assess internal and external supply chain capacity (suppliers, work centers, engineering release cadence) against program demand.
• Identify capacity gaps and collaborate with Operations, Planning, and Procurement on solutions, trade-offs, and escalation paths.
• Provide clear recommendations to leadership when material or capacity constraints require program re-prioritization.
• Partner with Program Management on schedule risk, delivery commitments, and customer-facing updates.
• Work closely with Procurement and Strategic Sourcing to align supplier priorities across multiple programs.
• Coordinate with Engineering on ECO impacts, configuration changes, and long-lead material implications.
• Collaborate with Quality to ensure inspection readiness and mitigation of holds impacting execution.
• Build and sustain program supply chain dashboards (material readiness, shortages, supplier performance, risk burndown).
• Maintain planning parameters and PFEP for program-critical components.
• Drive root-cause analysis for misses, ensuring permanent corrective actions across processes and suppliers.
• Champion continuous improvement and maturity-building activities that increase planning and execution stability.
