Production Manager
Your Job
We are looking for an experienced Production Manager to lead day-to-day manufacturing operations in our electronics production facility.
You will own production performance, product quality, safety, and continuous improvement across PCB assembly, test, and final assembly lines - delivering reliable product on time and at scale while developing a high-performing, safety-first team.
Our Team
You will join a cross-functional manufacturing division that produces mid-to-high complexity electronic assemblies (SMT, through-hole, test, and final integration) for multiple product lines.
The team partners closely with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Test to ramp new products, reduce costs, and improve yield.
What You Will Do
* Lead and develop the production team to consistently meet or exceed output, quality, safety, and on-time delivery targets.
* Drive process improvements (Lean, Kaizen) and operational excellence initiatives that increase throughput, reduce variability, and lower cost per unit.
* Own manufacturing readiness for new product introductions: translate designs into robust production processes and enable successful scale-up from pilot to full-rate production.
* Ensure product quality and regulatory/compliance requirements are met through robust process controls, data-driven problem solving, and collaboration with Quality and Engineering.
* Balance capacity, staffing, and scheduling to respond to demand changes while maintaining employee engagement and a safe working environment.
* Use production and test data to identify trends, lead root-cause analysis, and implement corrective action plans that sustain results.
* Partner with Supply Chain and Maintenance to minimize downtime and inventory risk, and to improve floor-level material availability and equipment uptime.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
* Bachelor's degree in Operations Management, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
* Minimum 5 years of manufacturing leadership experience in an electronics production environment (SMT/PCB assembly, test, and final assembly).
* Demonstrated knowledge of electronics manufacturing processes (SMT, reflow, wave solder, ICT/FCT, AOI/X-ray fundamentals) and common quality standards (e.g., IPC-A-610, J-STD-001).
* Experience using production systems (ERP/MRP), manufacturing execution systems (MES), Microsoft Office tools, and basic production data analysis (KPIs, OEE).
* Proven track record managing safety, quality, and on-time delivery metrics in a production environment.
What Will Put You Ahead
* Lean manufacturing certification and/or Six Sigma Green/Black Belt with hands-on project implementation.
* Experience with automated inspection systems (AOI, AXI, X-ray) and test-fixture design/optimization.
* Background in high-reliabil...
