Electronics Manufacturing Manager
A fast-growing contract manufacturer of complex electronic assemblies is adding a floor-focused leader to steer production through its next wave of growth. You will own the daily build schedule, mentor a talented crew of technicians, and work directly with customers on feasibility, quotes, and delivery commitments. With the retiring manager staying on as an advisor, you will inherit a solid playbook - then put your own stamp on processes, technology, and culture.
Why Join?
- Autonomy & visibility: report to senior leadership and shape the entire production function.
- Growth runway: company revenues up double-digits for three straight years; leadership path is clear.
- Competitive package: six-figure base, performance bonus, strong benefits, and 401(k) match.
- People-first culture: family ownership, low bureaucracy, and genuine investment in employee development.
What You’ll Do
- Plan & schedule 40-plus active work orders in a high-mix, low-volume environment, balancing materials, labor, and machine capacity.
- Lead from the floor, guiding 15–25 assemblers and technicians through daily stand-ups, rapid problem-solving, and 5S initiatives.
- Be the operations voice in customer calls - reviewing drawings for manufacturability, confirming lead times, and resolving issues with professionalism.
- Drive continuous improvement using root-cause analysis, visual management, and data from the ERP system; help champion an upcoming system migration.
- Develop talent by hiring, training, and coaching employees toward higher craftsmanship, safety, and accountability.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of progressive manufacturing experience in electronics or related assembly, including direct supervision of production teams.
- Demonstrated success creating and executing ERP-based build schedules (any modern platform; IQMS/Delmia Works helpful but not required).
- Hands-on leadership style - comfortable splitting time between the line, the office, and customer meetings.
- Calm under shifting priorities with the professionalism to interface confidently with long-standing customers.
Preferred Plus
- Experience with cable, harness, or wire-processing operations.
- Exposure to ISO-controlled quality systems or similar regulatory environments.
