About The Position

The Master Scheduler at DZYNE Technologies is responsible for owning the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and transforming the demand plan into a feasible, level-loaded supply plan across various product families and key lines. This role operates within a growing UAV manufacturing environment with evolving processes, requiring the individual to both establish scheduling standards, time fences, planning parameters, and cadence, while also ensuring stable near-term execution despite volatile demand, engineering changes, and supplier variability. The Master Scheduler acts as a central point of contact between Demand Planning, Operations, Procurement, Engineering, and Quality, aiming to help the business achieve its OTIF (On-Time, In-Full), revenue, and inventory targets.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years in Master Scheduling/Production Planning in aerospace/defense, electronics, or complex assembly environments; UAV/robotics experience strongly preferred.
• Deep fluency in MRP/MPS, RCCP, time fences, and planning parameters.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft NAV / Business Central or a major ERP (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and advanced Excel; ability to build capacity models and scenario analyses.
• Proven cross-functional leadership with Operations, Engineering, Procurement, and Quality.

Nice To Haves

• ASCM/APICS CPIM or CSCP certification.
• Experience with AS9100, ITAR/EAR compliance, and aerospace traceability.
• Familiarity with APS tools (e.g., Kinaxis, SAP IBP, Blue Yonder), MES, and Power BI/Tableau.
• Exposure to Lean/TOC, standard work, and level-loading in mixed-model environments.

Responsibilities

• Own the Master Production Schedule (MPS) at product family/Divisional program level; set weekly/monthly build plans aligned to demand and capacity.
• Translate forecast, backlog, and firm orders into rough-cut capacity plans (RCCP) by line/work-center; highlight constraints and trade-offs.
• Establish and maintain planning time fences, frozen zones, and lot-sizing aligned with engineering change (ECO) cadence and supplier lead times.
• Level-load production to optimize throughput, WIP, and labor utilization; balance make-to-stock vs. make-to-order strategies for UAVs and spares.
• Run periodic available-to-promise (ATP/CTP) checks; drive promise-date integrity with Sales/Order Management.
• Lead weekly MPS/Pre-S&OP meetings; publish constraints, options, and decisions.
• Partner with Demand Planning to challenge forecast quality and variability; propose demand shaping when capacity or materials are constrained.
• Align with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations on line readiness, takt time, staffing, SMT capacity, CNC/autoclave availability, and rework impacts.
• Work with Procurement/Material Planning on long-lead items (airframes, avionics, batteries), shelf-life/expirable materials, and supplier commit dates.
• Coordinate with Quality and Engineering on ECO, firmware/software version control, and serial-number/lot traceability conventions.
• Define and sustain MRP planning parameters (lead times, safety stock, min/max, order multiples) and PFEP for critical components.
• Implement ABC/XYZ segmentation and planning policies (Kanban for fast-movers; MRP for complex assemblies).
• Create standardized calendars, run rules, and SOPs for MPS processes; improve BOM accuracy and configuration management in collaboration with Engineering.
• Stand up or improve dashboards (OTIF, schedule adherence, capacity utilization, plan stability); drive root-cause and corrective actions.
• Identify tool and process gaps; support roadmap for APS/MES integration as maturity advances.
• Convert MPS into firm planned orders and release logic; coordinate with Production Planning for detailed sequencing.
• Monitor shortages, expedite priorities, and re-plan with agility during line down or quality holds.
• Publish and maintain a clear “single source of truth” for the build plan and commits.

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare benefits package.
• Base dental, vision, life, accident, disability, and other core benefits are fully covered by DZYNE.
• Paid time off.
• Paid holidays.
• 401 (k) plan with an employer match and immediate vesting.
