Senior Manufacturing Process Planner
About The Position
Kodiak Aircraft is seeking an experienced Senior Manufacturing Planner to help ensure manufacturing information is accurate, complete, and production-ready for certified aircraft production. This role connects Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and ERP systems. You will translate engineering intent into executable manufacturing data and help strengthen the planning processes that support aircraft build execution. Every aircraft depends on reliable mBOMs, routings, work instructions, configuration control, and production data that accurately reflect how the aircraft is built. Senior does not simply mean more years of experience. We are looking for someone who can operate independently, use sound judgment, influence stakeholders without formal authority, and bring practical ideas to improve how manufacturing planning is performed.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in manufacturing planning, manufacturing engineering, ERP data management, or a related role in a complex production environment.
- Strong ERP experience such as Epicor, SAP, or similar, including mBOMs, routings, and production data structures.
- Experience reconciling engineering and manufacturing BOM structures, preferably using PLM systems such as Teamcenter or similar.
- Hands-on understanding of manufacturing operations and how products are actually built on the shop floor.
- Experience with engineering change management, configuration control, effectivity, and revision management.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-influence skills.

Responsibilities

- Ensure work orders reflect accurate sequencing, materials, tooling, requirements, and operational constraints.
- Implement engineering changes while maintaining revision control, effectivity, configuration integrity, and aircraft traceability.
- Resolve gaps between ERP data and actual shop-floor execution through root-cause analysis and sustainable corrective actions.
- Partner across Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Configuration Management to improve production readiness.
