About The Position

Incodema3D is a leader in precision manufacturing, bridging the gap between cutting-edge additive manufacturing (3D Printing) and traditional CNC machining. We deliver high-precision, cost-effective components to industries requiring uncompromising quality. We are seeking a highly organized and analytical Production Planning Manager to oversee our end-to-end production lifecycle. This role bridges the gap between additive (DMLS, PBF) and subtractive (CNC Milling/Turning) workflows to meet efficiency, quality, and delivery goals. You will be responsible for managing production schedules, optimizing resource allocation, reducing bottlenecks, and driving maximum throughput for high-precision, cost-effective manufacturing.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, supply chain management, or business operations
• A minimum of 3+ years of production planning experience, preferably in a fast-paced, high-precision manufacturing environment.
• Strong experience with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and ERP systems for real-time shop floor tracking
• Strong proficiency in Excel and specialized scheduling software
• Demonstrated knowledge of both additive manufacturing (DMLS/PBF) and traditional machining (CNC)
• Exceptional communication, organizational skills, and high attention to detail
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic team environment
• Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain daily, weekly, and monthly production schedules that synchronize additive manufacturing builds with post-processing, CNC machining, and finishing.
• Lead the manufacturing process flow from order to shipment, integrating both additive and subtractive workflows to maximize efficiency.
• Analyze build times vs. machine availability for both 3D printers and CNC machines; manage powder inventory and material resources.
• Manage data within ERP/MES systems to ensure accurate, real-time tracking of work-in-progress (WIP) across multiple production stages.
• Identify inefficiencies, implement lean principles, and drive continuous improvement to enhance throughput and reduce downtime.
• Work closely with engineering and quality teams on print file optimization (build files), support removal, heat treatment, and surface finishing.
• Ensure all production steps adhere to safety, quality, and industry-specific standards (e.g., ISO 9001/AS9100).
