Description

Aerospace is at a turning point — costs are rising, supply chains are strained, and old ways of building can’t keep up. At Neon Aero, we’re breaking that mold. We move fast, think big, and combine start-up agility with aerospace expertise to design, build, and scale aircraft in ways the industry has never seen. Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production. Here, you won’t just take a job — you’ll help reinvent how the world flies. If you’re ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact. At Neon Aero Propellers, we’re scaling advanced aerospace manufacturing—fast. As an Operations Supervisor, you’ll lead a shop-floor team to deliver safely, on time, and to spec, while driving a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. You’ll be the connective tissue between Production, Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain—turning plans into flawless daily execution. What you’ll do Lead day-to-day manufacturing operations for your area to hit safety, quality, delivery, and cost targets. Assign work, set clear expectations, coach performance, and remove roadblocks in real time. Ensure compliance with company policies and aerospace standards (including FAA/AS9100 and customer requirements). Track and report output, labor utilization, and KPIs—using data to prioritize actions and communicate status. Partner with Quality & Engineering to resolve issues, implement corrective actions, and maintain product conformance. Support workforce planning (scheduling, overtime management, staffing aligned to demand). Champion Lean principles—engaging the team in problem-solving, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. Lead safety rituals and EHS initiatives; maintain a safe, clean, organized work environment. Contribute to projects that improve efficiency, reduce cost, and elevate operational performance. What you bring Minimum of 4 years of supervisory experience with direct reports (aviation/aerospace preferred). Bachelor’s degree in Business, Ops Management, Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent professional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree. Strong shop-floor execution and production planning; comfortable with ERP/MRP (SAP or similar) and Microsoft Office. Familiarity with AS9100, FAA, ITAR and a “right-first-time” quality mindset. Proven people leadership: coaching, mentorship, expectation-setting, and performance accountability. Lean/CI working knowledge (Lean Six Sigma preferred) and strong root-cause problem-solving. Calm, clear communicator who collaborates cross-functionally and navigates changing priorities. Composite manufacturing experience is highly desired. Work setup Environment: Clean aerospace & defense manufacturing; frequent interaction with Mechanical, Systems, Test, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering. Schedule: Mon–Fri, standard business hours 8:00 AM –5:00 PM; occasional weekends for critical builds or tests. Travel:
