Production Planner
Job description
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Attend supply chain and material reviews to establish a clear-to-build picture across a rolling 30-day horizon, by SKU and by constraints
- Publish and maintain a daily, SKU-level production build plan that sequences the right configurations at the right time against material, labor, and test capacity
- Reconcile plan versus actual daily, surface variance the day it occurs, and work with production leadership on recovery plans
- Partner with business development, program management, and logistics to build the daily ship list, and give the packout team clear direction on which orders go out and in what order
- Confirm configuration, accessory content, and documentation requirements are set before an order reaches packout
- Create, release, and track production work orders in MES so the build plan is reflected in the system of record
- Monitor work order status, WIP aging, and throughput data in the MES to inform the daily plan
- Partner with the MES Engineer and manufacturing engineering when process plans, routings, or ECO effectivity need to change. You will identify the need and provide production context.
