We design and build high-voltage motor controllers and lithium-ion battery systems for next-generation autonomous platforms. Our environment is technically demanding and fast-paced. We are looking for disciplined professionals who take ownership and deliver results. The Opportunity We are hiring a Production Control Coordinator to own the flow of customer orders from production commit through final shipment. This is a critical cross-functional role focused on keeping materials, assemblies, quality checks, and shipping schedules aligned so we consistently meet our on-time delivery (OTD) commitments. You will be the central point of visibility and accountability for order status on the production floor. This role requires strong influence without authority, exceptional follow-through, and the willingness to surface issues early. Key Responsibilities Order Flow & Lifecycle Tracking Own the full lifecycle of every customer order from initial production commit through packaging and final shipment. Maintain a live, accurate, and undisputed picture of work-in-progress (WIP), back orders, and at-risk commitments. Take full accountability for On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance and drive daily execution to meet customer commitments. Cross-Functional Coordination Lead daily coordination across procurement, inventory, assembly, rework, and quality to keep orders moving without friction.

What Success Looks Like 30 Days: Complete a full audit of all active, paused, and back-ordered jobs and establish a clean, accurate baseline tracking system. 60 Days: Run an efficient daily cross-functional sync that catches and resolves bottlenecks before they impact customer ship dates. 90 Days: Demonstrate measurable improvement in OTD with zero orders slipping past promised dates without early escalation. Requirements 5+ years of experience coordinating production flow, scheduling, expediting, or material movement in a manufacturing or assembly environment. Experience with Fishbowl, ERP, MRP, or digital inventory systems. Proven track record of systematically closing out incomplete, hanging, or back-ordered jobs.
