POSITION OVERVIEW:
The Production Manager is a servant leader overseeing the daily progress made in all operational areas within the factory. Key focal points for this position are factory leadership, throughput accountability, optimization that leads to profitability, and processes that are scalable. The Production Manager fosters an environment of consistent adherence to our quality management system, recruits excellent production team members, cross-trains to mitigate the risk of downtime, stewards factory assets (e.g. robotics, equipment, tooling, and facilities), and strategically considers supply chain management. The best candidate will be creative with shift scheduling to accommodate the innovative nature of our technology, will apply common-sense methodologies to process flows, will be discontent with a disorganized or messy factory, will champion waste reduction, can thrive in a multi-shift environment, has a knack for data-driven decision-making, and sees the wisdom in resource budgeting. The ideal team player is well organized, has a self-starting work ethic, and is the company’s loudest advocate for his or her direct reports. This teammate is as comfortable leading entry-level employees as in meeting with company executives. This Brancher thrives in a fast-paced environment where new ideas and concepts are developed, often with little or no precedent, and embodies our six core values of humble genius, other centered, relentless execution, designed beauty, intense collaboration, and wise stewardship.
