Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.
Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.
We are seeking a proactive and execution-driven Production & Materials Planner to translate demand into actionable production and material plans while ensuring day-to-day alignment between planning outputs and factory execution. This role sits at the intersection of supply chain, manufacturing, and systems—owning build readiness and driving coordination to ensure materials are available, constraints are resolved, and production remains on schedule. The ideal candidate combines a strong understanding of MRP, BOM structures, and production planning with a hands-on approach to problem solving, cross-functional coordination, and real-time execution in a dynamic environment.
Develop and maintain the Master Production Schedule (MPS) across programs and sites in coordination with Production leadership, ensuring alignment to demand, capacity, and program priorities
Own MRP inputs, parameters, and outputs, maintaining system accuracy and ensuring planning signals are reliable, actionable, and trusted across the organization
Translate MBOM and demand signals into executable production and material plans, ensuring correct timing, quantities, and alignment to build schedules
Support capacity and constraint planning across work centers and sites, identifying bottlenecks and driving adjustments to maintain schedule feasibility
Support inventory policies including safety stock, reorder strategies, and segmentation to balance availability, risk, and working capital
Generate forward-looking material readiness projections and proactively identify shortages, risks, and misalignments before they impact production
Ensure alignment between engineering releases, BOM changes, demand signals, and supply plans to prevent downstream execution issues
Own daily build readiness by identifying and driving resolution of constraints impacting production schedules, including material, capacity, and system gaps
Execute the production and material plan by coordinating material flow, ensuring availability, and aligning supply chain, receiving, and production teams
Trigger and coordinate expediting of purchase orders and work orders in partnership with Procurement and GSMs to resolve shortages and maintain schedule adherence
Track, manage, and resolve material shortages, WIP blockers, and execution gaps, ensuring issues are driven to closure with clear ownership
Manage reschedules, pull-ins, and push-outs based on real-time conditions, maintaining alignment between plan and execution
Ensure materials are available, properly staged, and aligned to point-of-use to support efficient production flow and minimize disruption
Maintain alignment between planning systems and execution reality, ensuring discrepancies are identified and corrected quickly
Ensure accurate, real-time updates across MRP, MES, and supply chain systems, supporting traceability, inventory accuracy, and execution visibility
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
3–5 years of experience in production planning, supply chain, manufacturing operations, or material management
Experience working within PLM, MRP/ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent) and exposure to MES environments
Strong understanding of production planning fundamentals, including BOM structures, material requirements planning, and scheduling concepts
Experience translating demand signals into executable production or material plans in a manufacturing environment
Demonstrated ability to manage material readiness, shortages, or production execution challenges
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to drive resolution across cross-functional teams
Ability to coordinate effectively with supply chain, manufacturing, and engineering to maintain schedule alignment
Experience in defense, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing industries
Familiarity with environments involving PLM, MRP, and MES systems, including cases where systems are not fully synchronized
Experience supporting production scheduling, capacity planning, or build readiness in a hardware manufacturing environment
Understanding of inventory management strategies, including safety stock, reorder policies, and material segmentation
Exposure to startup or growth-stage environments with evolving systems and processes
Comfort working in execution-heavy roles requiring real-time decision-making and on-floor engagement
