This is an opportunity to join a small, innovative team that designs and develops advanced consumer and defense-related products, where precision, quality, and reliability are at the heart of every build.
The ideal candidate thrives in a hands-on environment and enjoys building systems and structure from the ground up.

- Lead internal assembly operations; optimizing layout, workflow, and labor utilization to maximize output and minimize waste.
- Implement and leverage ERP tools to monitor production, inventory, and key performance metrics.
- Establish and maintain robust quality control standards and inspection processes across all phases of production.
- Manage inventory and capacity planning in alignment with forecasted demand.
- Build and lead a small, high-performing team focused on operational excellence, safety, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
- 7–10+ years of progressive experience in operations, manufacturing, or supply chain leadership.
- Experienced in small or mid-size environments where much of the manufacturing is outsourced.
- Skilled in process optimization, lean manufacturing principles, and time/motion efficiency.
- Strong ERP experience; able to translate data and system insights into real-world process improvements.
- Proven success managing vendors, negotiating contracts, and maintaining quality standards across complex supply chains.
- Natural leader who can coach teams, create structure, and bring order to a fast-moving, entrepreneurial setting.
This is a unique chance to join a company at a pivotal moment of growth, where your operational expertise will have a visible and lasting impact. You’ll work alongside a talented engineering and product development team, helping bring innovative ideas from concept to production at scale.
