> Own the schedule, milestones, and daily operations for production lines building modular data center components. Drive throughput gains, clear bottlenecks, coordinate cross-functionally with manufacturing, supply chain, and design teams, and deliver real-time reporting to leadership.

## Job Description

## Role Scope
- Run the schedule, milestones, and daily operating rhythm for the production lines building modular data center components, keeping every line aligned to the build pipeline.
- Drive throughput and cycle-time gains on the line, clearing the bottlenecks between a design release and a finished unit shipping.
- Coordinate across manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and design so parts, tooling, and specs land on the line before they gate production.
- Track production status, work in progress, and delivery against commitments, and surface slippage early enough to recover it.
- Stand up the reporting and controls that make production performance visible to leadership in real time.

## What We're Looking For
**The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.**
- You've owned the schedule and delivery for a production or manufacturing line and hit throughput targets under real deadline pressure.
- You've found and cleared bottlenecks on a line, and you can point to the cycle-time or yield improvement that resulted.
- You coordinate across engineering, supply chain, and operations without losing the thread on what is actually blocking the line today.
- You run production reporting and controls as a discipline, so status is never a surprise to the people depending on it.
- You've scaled a line or a production process as volume grew, not just kept a steady-state one running.
- You communicate clearly enough to keep a shop floor and a leadership team working off the same picture.
- **Bonus:** Modular or prefabricated construction. Data center or electrical equipment manufacturing. Lean or Six Sigma production methods. Program controls tooling for schedule and earned value. Manufacturing scale-up in a high-growth company.
