Requirements

Owned the schedule and delivery for a production or manufacturing line and hit throughput targets under real deadline pressure.
Found and cleared bottlenecks on a line, and can point to the cycle-time or yield improvement that resulted.
Coordinate across engineering, supply chain, and operations without losing the thread on what is actually blocking the line today.
Run production reporting and controls as a discipline, so status is never a surprise to the people depending on it.
Scaled a line or a production process as volume grew, not just kept a steady-state one running.
Communicate clearly enough to keep a shop floor and a leadership team working off the same picture.

Nice To Haves

Modular or prefabricated construction.
Data center or electrical equipment manufacturing.
Lean or Six Sigma production methods.
Program controls tooling for schedule and earned value.
Manufacturing scale-up in a high-growth company.

Responsibilities

Run the schedule, milestones, and daily operating rhythm for the production lines building modular data center components, keeping every line aligned to the build pipeline.
Drive throughput and cycle-time gains on the line, clearing the bottlenecks between a design release and a finished unit shipping.
Coordinate across manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and design so parts, tooling, and specs land on the line before they gate production.
Track production status, work in progress, and delivery against commitments, and surface slippage early enough to recover it.
Stand up the reporting and controls that make production performance visible to leadership in real time.
