Full Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Planner to own the build planning function at our Boston Development Facility, expanding to support factory operations as we scale. This is a high-mix, high-development environment where build campaigns change frequently, BOMs evolve between iterations, and the planner must integrate supply chain availability, operational capacity, and engineering demand into a cohesive, executable build plan. You will be the connective tissue between engineering, supply chain, and operations. This role requires proficiency in planning tools and methodologies, MRP/ERP fluency, advanced scheduling, capacity modeling, and data-driven decision making. You will not just execute plans, you will build the planning system, processes, and cadences from the ground up. If you thrive in ambiguity and have experience navigating NPI build schedules with compressed timelines, this is the role for you. Key job responsibilities Build Planning & Production Scheduling - Own and maintain the Master Production Schedule (MPS) for our facility, detailed production schedules that align engineering demand, material availability, and operational capacity across multiple concurrent build campaigns and product configurations. - Integrate inputs from product engineering (build requirements, BOM changes, ECOs), supply chain (material lead times, supplier commitments), and operations (workforce capacity, equipment availability) into a single source of truth for build execution. - Manage build plan volatility inherent to a development environment, rapidly re-plan when designs change, materials slip, or engineering priorities shift. Provide impact assessments and options to leadership when disruptions occur. - Develop and maintain planning cadences (weekly build reviews, material readiness reviews, capacity planning sessions) that drive cross-functional alignment and proactive issue resolution. - Define and manage batch sizes, production sequencing, and line loading strategies
