The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader experienced in aerospace manufacturing, including composite fabrication, structural assembly, and final integration of flight hardware. The Production Supervisor balances schedule, quality, and safety while maintaining process discipline across airframe production and UAS assembly. The role contributes to scaling production capacity, developing frontline talent, and delivering reliable hardware ready for test and deployment.

Requirements

3–5 years of experience in aerospace, defense, aviation, or another high-reliability manufacturing environment.
2+ years of experience in a leadership role such as Production Supervisor or equivalent shop-floor team leadership position.
Experience supporting composite fabrication, structural assembly, mechanical integration, or final assembly in an aerospace production environment.
Experience with GD&T, ASME Y14.5, and AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality standards.
Experience with manufacturing software systems such as JIRA, ERP/MRP, MES, or PLM.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, bills of material, assembly documentation, and workmanship standards.
Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate effectively across production, engineering, quality, planning, and program teams.
Ability to work extended hours or alternate shifts as needed to support production schedules.
Availability to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
Must meet applicable U.S. export-control eligibility requirements or be eligible to obtain required authorizations.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting new product introduction, low-rate initial production, or production ramp in unmanned or flight-vehicle programs.
Knowledge of configuration management, nonconformance reporting, RCCA, and traceability requirements for aerospace hardware.
Familiarity with AS9100 or similar aerospace quality management systems.
Experience leading teams in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.
Strong understanding of production flow across fabrication, assembly, inspection, and test interfaces.
Experience implementing lean manufacturing, 5S, visual management, and continuous improvement practices in a production setting.

Responsibilities

Lead daily production activities across composite fabrication, airframe assembly, subassembly integration, avionics, and final vehicle build operations.
Supervise, coach, and develop technicians and lead technicians to support strong technical execution, accountability, and continuous growth.
Drive daily attainment to production schedules while balancing labor, tooling, material readiness, cure cycles, inspection hold points, and downstream integration needs.
Ensure work follows released work instructions, engineering drawings, specifications, and other controlled documentation.
Maintain compliance with configuration control, product traceability, and manufacturing record requirements for flight hardware.
Support integration of airframe, mechanical, and mission-system hardware into unmanned aircraft platforms in accordance with build plans and quality standards.
Coordinate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Planning, and Test teams to resolve production constraints and maintain build flow.
Ensure compliance with workmanship standards, dimensional requirements, and inspection criteria throughout fabrication, assembly, and vehicle integration.
Enforce safe work practices, including PPE use, hazardous-material handling, FOD prevention, and compliance with EHS procedures.
Maintain standards for 5S, tool accountability, equipment readiness, calibration compliance, and organized work areas.
Identify recurring manufacturing issues and drive corrective and preventive actions to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance.
