Salary: $70 - $80K
Allocor.tech is a fast-growing company developing advanced power electronics and autonomous systems. We design and build high-voltage motor controllers and lithium-ion battery systems for next-generation autonomous platforms. Our environment is technically demanding and fast-paced. We are looking for disciplined professionals who take ownership and deliver results.
The Opportunity
We are hiring a Production Control Coordinator to own the flow of customer orders from production commit through final shipment. This is a critical cross-functional role focused on keeping materials, assemblies, quality checks, and shipping schedules aligned so we consistently meet our on-time delivery (OTD) commitments.
You will be the central point of visibility and accountability for order status on the production floor. This role requires strong influence without authority, exceptional follow-through, and the willingness to surface issues early.
Key Responsibilities
- Order Flow & Lifecycle Tracking
- Own the full lifecycle of every customer order from initial production commit through packaging and final shipment.
- Maintain a live, accurate, and undisputed picture of work-in-progress (WIP), back orders, and at-risk commitments.
- Take full accountability for On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance and drive daily execution to meet customer commitments.
Cross-Functional Coordination
- Lead daily coordination across procurement, inventory, assembly, rework, and quality to keep orders moving without friction.
- Proactively identify material shortfalls, bottlenecks, and capacity constraints and escalate risks to leadership early.
- Track partial, paused, and back-ordered jobs to completion with relentless follow-through.
- Provide clear, real-time shipping visibility to leadership and commercial teams.
What Success Looks Like
- 30 Days: Complete a full audit of all active, paused, and back-ordered jobs and establish a clean, accurate baseline tracking system.
- 60 Days: Run an efficient daily cross-functional sync that catches and resolves bottlenecks before they impact customer ship dates.
- 90 Days: Demonstrate measurable improvement in OTD with zero orders slipping past promised dates without early escalation.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience coordinating production flow, scheduling, expediting, or material movement in amanufacturing or assembly environment.
- Experience with Fishbowl, ERP, MRP, or digital inventory systems.
- Proven track record of systematically closing out incomplete, hanging, or back-ordered jobs.
- Strong ability to influence across teams without direct authority.
- Excellent attention to detail and systems thinking.
- Direct and proactive communication style comfortable surfacing issues early.
- U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual per ITAR) due to export-controlled drone hardware.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in scaling hardware manufacturing (electronics, electromechanical, automotive, or aerospace preferred).
- Familiarity with visual factory controls or Kanban systems.
- Based in or willing to work on-site in the Waynesboro, VA area.
