Your key responsibilities are as follows:

• Own the overall build schedule for assigned projects, including milestone dates, dependencies, and critical path activities.
• Lead execution of initial engineering prototype builds and support the transition to repeatable production builds, coordinating with Process Development and Operations to achieve defined production metrics.
• Drive predictable build execution by coordinating across Supply Chain, Design Engineering, Process Development, and Operations.
• Track BOM, drawing, tooling, and inspection readiness for assigned builds, coordinating with Design Engineering and Process Development to resolve gaps that could impact build execution.
• Prepare build progress status updates for the internal team and briefings for stakeholders.
• Proactively identify and escalate schedule risks to leadership before they impact build timelines.
• Maintain build configuration records by serial number, including material, part, process, and approved configuration variants.
• Track critical and long-lead material status, including order dates, expected receipt, and buffer stock levels, with supply chain support.
• Track incoming inspection and certification status per lot for critical parts.
• Maintain an open risk/issue log with assigned owners and target resolution dates.
• Collaborate successfully with team members across the organization in a way that fosters trust, recognizes and celebrates others, and reinforces the company values.

• Working knowledge of hardware development and manufacturing disciplines, including manufacturing engineering, process development, systems engineering, test, optics/photonics, quality, system integration, and product development lifecycle.
• Ability to effectively communicate and coordinate with technical experts across engineering disciplines.

Startup Mindset:

• You're creative, flexible, and eager to wear multiple hats.
• You're passionate about building systems from the ground up and comfortable with ambiguity and change.
