Job description
Responsibilities
Drive down the work-order backlog: dispositioning idle/no-need-date orders, resolving kitted-but-stalled part numbers, and closing out orders.
Execute targeted expedite efforts on hot jobs — identifying material and kit needs, and blockers across service centers and integrated areas to prevent schedule slip.
Maintain MRP/ERP data integrity
Communicate daily status on backlog burn-down, expedite jobs in flight, and any shift hand-offs to the PC leads and escalation chat.
Flag constraints or recurring blockers discovered during clean-up work to area leads and PC leadership rather than resolving informally and losing the signal.
Qualifications
Passion for our mission: millions of people living and working in space.
Experience with schedule management, expediting, or backlog/data clean-up in a manufacturing or production environment. -Hands-on experience with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Costpoint, or similar) — comfortable working directly in the data, not just reading dashboards.
Ability to work independently on a defined backlog with minimal ramp-up, in a high-tempo, high-ambiguity environment. -Willingness and availability to support off-nominal shifts (B/C/D) as coverage gaps arise.
Desired
Prior experience specifically doing backlog remediation, data cleanup, or expedite work (not just steady-state scheduling).
Familiarity with MS Office, including MS Project.
Familiarity with Jira/ITS and AI tools -Experience in both development and production manufacturing environments.
Aerospace or automotive production experience a plus.
