YOUR DAY TO DAY:

In this 1st-shift Manufacturing Supervisor role, you will lead and develop an onsite assembly and test team responsible for producing complex, high-mix/low-volume aerospace RF passive products in Beverly, MA. You will set a strong operational cadence, driving performance in on-time delivery, first-pass yield, quality, and production flow. Your leadership will shape the culture on the floor building a high-performance team through clear expectations, structured coaching, and intentional cross-training that expands capability and flexibility. You will identify and grow high-potential employees, strengthen team alignment, and ensure consistent execution through disciplined tiered daily management. Leveraging continuous-improvement tools and a hands-on presence, you will eliminate roadblocks, improve processes, and deliver measurable operational results. This role is non-union and requires direct engagement on the production floor, partnering closely with engineering, planning, and quality to support the needs of a dynamic product line.

YOU WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR:

• High Impact: Own the daily/weekly build plan, line loading, and commit-to-ship cadence; remove constraints fast to protect OTD and quality.

• Bias for Action: Run tiered daily management (Tier boards), escalate issues, and maintain visual controls for WIP and flow.

• Fast Growth Path: Develop operators/techs/inspectors through skills matrices and cross-training that increase flexibility and team capability.

• Production Leadership & Flow: Balance high-mix/low-volume builds; optimize standard work, line balancing, and changeover to cut queue time and cycle time.

• Team Management: Experience in managing and developing teams of 20+ across diverse product lines, fostering collaboration and operational excellence.

• Materials Readiness & Shipment Execution: Maintain shipment schedule integrity (promises, risk pulls, expedites) with proactive communication.

• Quality & Compliance: Ensure traveler accuracy, routing discipline, traceability, and defect reduction through error-proofing and robust documentation.

• Continuous Improvement: Lead Kaizen/5S, waste elimination, and setup reduction initiatives with quantified outcomes (OTD, FPY, cycle time, scrap).

• NPI & Change Management: Support ECNs and process validations to introduce new builds while protecting schedule and quality.

• Safety & Culture: Champion a safe, inclusive, high-accountability environment; model urgency and ownership in a dynamic RF setting.

• Perform other duties as needed and assigned

YOU ARE THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THIS JOB IF YOU HAVE:

• Required:
  • 1-2 years of manufacturing or production experience in a complex build environment.
  • Demonstrated bias for action with examples of improving OTD/FPY or reducing cycle time/scrap.
  • Ability to lead and coach a small team (operators/techs/inspectors) with clear expectations and feedback.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills; comfortable making decisions in a fast-changing environment.

• Preferred:
  • Experience in high-mix/low-volume aerospace or complex electromechanical assembly.
  • Exposure to RF passive components (e.g., TR hard-brazed tubes, RF limiters).

• U.S. Citizenship and are able to obtain/maintain a U.S. Department of Defense Security Clearance.
