• Identify  opportunities to expand customer relationships through exceptional service, proactive communication, and successful program execution
• Monitor work-in-process across machining, assembly, and integration stages to ensure on-time flow and identify bottlenecks
• Manage risk - proactively identifying schedule, quality, or supply chain, capacity, commercial risks while developing proactive      mitigation plans
• Ensure deliverables meet customer specifications, drawings, and quality/compliance requirements (ISO 9001, AS9100, ITAR,      etc. as applicable)
• Support new program launches/NPI (New Product Introduction), including quoting support, feasibility review, and  production ramp planning
• Maintain accurate project documentation: schedules,  budgets, action item logs, risk registers, and  post-project/lessons-learned reviews
• Identify  opportunities to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce lead times, eliminate waste, and enhance customer satisfaction through continuous  improvement initiatives

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business,  Operations Management, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of project management experience in a  contract manufacturing, machining, or industrial assembly environment
• Working knowledge of CNC machining processes,  mechanical/electromechanical assembly, system integration, production scheduling, and  system integration workflows
• Strong understanding of manufacturing schedules,  capacity planning, and work-order/ERP systems
• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent customer  programs and competing priorities
• Excellent customer-facing communication skills -  comfortable presenting status, negotiating timelines, and managing      expectations
• Experience reading and interpreting engineering  drawings, BOMs, and technical specifications
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills; ability to drive issues to resolution across departments
• Prepare  and present project status, risks, financial updates, and recovery plans  to executive leadership when required
