Job description
Are you the operations leader who can scale output and lower cost without compromising quality?

If you live lean, think in systems, and love turning variability into repeatability, this role is for you.

Your mandate
  • Increase production and distribution performance by improving methods, workflow, training, MRP utilization, and equipment effectiveness while strengthening documentation and safety.
  • Deliver operational and financial results in partnership with the CFO and other key executives.
  • Build measurement tools and dashboards that reveal true capability, repeatability, and efficiency across internal and external processes.
  • Lead value stream mapping and focused kaizen that reduce scrap, repair, and rework and raise out‑of‑box quality.
  • Stand up SPC, right‑sized testing and inspection, and practical mistake‑proofing (poka‑yoke).
  • Ensure a clean, organized, safe facility with strong ergonomics and accurate inventory.
  • Partner early with design engineering to provide DFM guidance and launch new products smoothly to the factory floor.
  • Own the capital plan: recommend purchases, leases, modifications, repairs, and preventive maintenance to hit performance targets.
  • Coach supervisors and hourly teams with the tools and training needed to adopt the company’s manufacturing initiatives.
  • Resolve manufacturing and distribution issues quickly and permanently.
  • Participate on the Corporate Leadership Team; model mission, values, sound judgment, and compliance with company policies and DMP Data Classification Standards.
  • Adapt as priorities evolve; responsibilities may change per senior management direction.
What you bring
  • 10+ years of manufacturing management and distribution experience preferred.
  • Accredited four‑year engineering degree; electrical or mechanical emphasis preferred.
  • Master’s in manufacturing, engineering management, or business administration strongly preferred (not required).
  • Hands‑on exposure to automated SMT assembly, solder reflow, in‑circuit testing, automated functional testing, and automated material handling preferred.
  • Sharp analytical, quantitative, and problem‑solving skills; decisive prioritization and calm under pressure.
  • Influence without authority; collaborate across staff, management, and teams to meet company goals.
  • Executive‑level communicator who can present manufacturing strategy and train hourly teams on lean practices.
  • Fluent with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and MRP II.
  • Values‑anchored, ethical, open to constructive feedback, and consistent attendance at or above 98%.
  • Equivalent combinations of education and experience considered.
Focus areas you will improve
  • Throughput, on‑time delivery, and distribution performance.
  • Scrap, rework, and repair rates.
  • Equipment uptime and OEE.
  • Inventory accuracy and material flow.
  • Safety and ergonomics.
  • Documentation integrity and compliance with ISO and HAZMAT standards.
Proficiencies
  • Bachelor’s Degree
  • Engineering Degree
  • Lean Manufacturing Principles
  • Experience in a Manufacturing Environment
  • Manufacturing Management
