Position: Master Scheduler Location: Irvine, CA 100% On-Site, Corporate role with direct site supervision Position Description: The Master Scheduler owns the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and turns the demand plan into a feasible, level-loaded supply plan across product families and key lines. In a growing UAV manufacturing environment with developing processes (maturity level 2/5), this role is both builder and operator: establishing scheduling standards, time fences, planning parameters, and cadence while ensuring near-term execution is stable despite volatile demand, engineering changes, and supplier variability. You will be the nexus between Demand Planning, Operations, Procurement, Engineering, and Quality, enabling the business to meet OTIF (On-Time, In-Full), revenue, and inventory targets. Key Responsibilities: Master Scheduling and Planning * Own the Master Production Schedule (MPS) at product family/Divisional program level; set weekly/monthly build plans aligned to demand and capacity. * Translate forecast, backlog, and firm orders into rough-cut capacity plans (RCCP) by line/work-center; highlight constraints and trade-offs. * Establish and maintain planning time fences, frozen zones, and lot-sizing aligned with engineering change (ECO) cadence and supplier lead times. * Level-load production to optimize throughput, WIP, and labor utilization; balance make-to-stock vs. make-to-order strategies for UAVs and spares. * Run periodic available-to-promise (ATP/CTP) checks; drive promise-date integrity with Sales/Order Management. Cross-Functional Coordination * Lead weekly MPS/Pre-S&OP meetings; publish constraints, options, and decisions. * Partner with Demand Planning to challenge forecast quality and variability; propose demand shaping when capacity or materials are constrained. * Align with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations on line readiness, takt time, staffing, SMT capacity, CNC/autoclave availability, and rework impacts. * Work with Procurement/Material Planning on long-lead items (airframes, avionics, batteries), shelf-life/expirable materials, and supplier commit dates. * Coordinate with Quality and Engineering on ECO, firmware/software version control, and serial-number/lot traceability conventions. Data, Parameters & Governance (Maturity-Building) * Define and sustain MRP planning parameters (lead times, safety stock, min/max, order multiples) and PFEP for critical components. * Implement ABC/XYZ segmentation and planning policies (Kanban for fast-movers; MRP for complex assemblies). * Create standardized calendars, run rules, and SOPs for MPS processes; improve BOM accuracy and configuration management in collaboration with Engineering. * Stand up or improve dashboards (OTIF, schedule adherence, capacity utilization, plan stability); drive root-cause and corrective actions. * Identify tool and process gaps; support roadmap for APS/MES integration as maturity advances. Execution Support * Convert MPS into firm planned orders and release logic; coordinate with Production Planning for detailed sequencing. * Monitor shortages, expedite priorities, and re-plan with agility during line down or quality holds. * Publish and maintain a clear “single source of truth” for the build plan and commits. Required Skills/Qualifications: * 7–10+ years in Master Scheduling/Production Planning in aerospace/defense, electronics, or complex assembly environments; UAV/robotics experience strongly preferred. * Deep fluency in MRP/MPS, RCCP, time fences, and planning parameters. * Hands-on experience with Microsoft NAV / Business Central or a major ERP (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and advanced Excel; ability to build capacity models and scenario analyses. * Proven cross-functional leadership with Operations, Engineering, Procurement, and Quality. Preferred Skills/Qualifications: * ASCM/APICS CPIM or CSCP certification. * Experience with AS9100, ITAR/EAR compliance, and aerospace traceability. * Familiarity with APS tools (e.g., Kinaxis, SAP IBP, Blue Yonder), MES, and Power BI/Tableau. * Exposure to Lean/TOC, standard work, and level-loading in mixed-model environments. Clearance Level Required: No Travel: NO Working Conditions: The diversity of work conditions may range from an environment where there is little or no physical discomfort, such as a general office environment, to warehouse and other facilities. Physical Demands: The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job: * Must have the ability to stoop, stand, climb, occasionally lift a minimum of 25 lbs. * Involves movement between departments, floors, and worksites to facilitate work. Work Authorization Requirement: Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for current or future employment visa sponsorship. Salary: $115,000 - $170,000 Salary depends on relevant work experience, education, training, essential skills, and/or other factors such as specialized or high-demand professions. In addition to the annual salary, the position will be eligible for an annual bonus. The pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of salary or annual bonus.
