Manufacturing - Systems Project Leader

POSITION OVERVIEW:

The Manufacturing Systems Project Leader is responsible for establishing and implementing the manufacturing systems required for the successful startup and ongoing operation of a new BAC manufacturing facility.

This role leads the deployment and integration of MES, Tulus, press brake programming, and related production systems beginning in EPIC-2 and continuing through launch and stabilization.

The position partners with Manufacturing Systems, Information Technology, Engineering, Operations, Quality, Human Resources, and external suppliers to implement manufacturing systems that support workforce readiness, operational excellence, and sustainable plant performance aligned with BAC standards.

 

 

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:


* Lead manufacturing systems readiness for the greenfield plant from requirements definition and configuration through testing, deployment, production launch, and stabilization.


* Partner with Manufacturing Leadership, Human Resources, and Training teams to support user adoption, workforce training, certification, and operational readiness activities required for successful startup and long-term system utilization.


* Coordinate the implementation and integration of MES, Tulus, press brake programming, and related manufacturing applications and interfaces, beginning in EPIC-2. 


* Translate manufacturing process and user requirements into system workflows, configurations, master data, controls, reports, and support procedures. 


* Partner with Information Technology and Manufacturing Systems teams to establish system connectivity, user access, device requirements, data flows, cybersecurity controls, and production support processes. 


* Plan and lead system testing, user acceptance, defect resolution, cutover, launch support, and post-launch stabilization. 


* Ensure manufacturing system solutions support production execution, traceability, quality controls, scheduling, data collection, and operational visibility. 


* Coordinate dependencies across equipment, network, ERP, MES, programming, data, and shop-floor processes to prevent gaps in operational readiness. 


* Develop system standards, governance, change controls, escalation paths, and sustainment processes aligned with BAC requirements. 


* Create and maintain standard operating procedures, work instructions, training materials, certification requirements, system documentation, and support guides. 


* Train and certify site manufacturing leaders, system users, and designated support resources to execute transactions, monitor performance, resolve routine issues, and sustain standards. 


* Implement applicable BAC X standards and daily management practices, including tier boards, hour-by-hour monitoring, visual controls, and performance escalation supported by accurate system data. 


* Track workstream milestones, risks, decisions, dependencies, and deliverables; co...
