Master Scheduling: Create a production schedule that balances customer demand and Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) with department capacity and supply chain constraints.

Strategic Promising: Review new sales orders, forecasts, and lead times to determine accurate shipment dates for our customers.

Operational Leadership: Lead production meetings to address bottlenecks, track order status, and adjust schedules in real-time to meet tight deadlines.

Cross-Functional Communication: Identify constraints and communicate potential delays to Customer Service to ensure proactive expectation management.

ERP Management: Release work orders, including complex rework and RMAs requiring unique Bills of Materials (BOMs) and routers.

Compliance: Maintain working knowledge of AS9102 internal audit controls and related documentation.

Requirements

Education: High School Diploma or GED required.

Experience: At least 2 years of production planning experience specifically within a manufacturing environment.

Technical Skills: Strong mathematical and analytical abilities; proficiency in ERP systems and production logic.

Multi-Level Planning: Experience planning across 1 to 3 levels of subassemblies, including managing outside processing.

Preferred: APICS certification (CPIM or CSCP) is a significant plus.

Why You'll Enjoy Working Here:

Flexibility that works: 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off.

Professional growth: Continuing education support, certifications, and exposure to governance, risk, and compliance tools at a global scale.

A culture that values balance: Work with a high-performing, motivated team that also promotes positivity and collaboration.

Competitive rewards: Benefits start the first of the month after hire, quarterly bonus tied to company profitability, 401(k) with 3% company contribution, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, paid holidays (including a full Christmas week shutdown), and comprehensive health/vision/dental coverage.

Compensation & Benefits:

Base salary: $28 - $32/hr, influenced by several factors including experience, skill set, education, certifications, market conditions, and business needs.

Astronics offers a comprehensive benefits package, including:

Health & Well-being: Health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, FSA, HSA, and additional voluntary coverage options.

Financial Security: 401K & Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Work-Life Harmony: Employee Assistance Program and a culture that promotes work-life balance.
