This role requires a strong combination of people leadership, technical knowledge, and operational excellence.

    • Provide daily floor presence to support leads and machinists, build credibility, and reinforce operational standards.
    • Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement across all value streams.
    • Oversee day-to-day production, ensuring staffing, scheduling, and priorities meet customer and KPI expectations (including On-Time Delivery, quality metrics, and productivity goals).
    • Partner with Engineering and Quality to troubleshoot technical challenges and maintain production flow.
    • Support implementation of value-added processes such as precision machining, electropolishing, and laser welding.
    • Lead Tier operational meetings and support executive-level discussions.
    • Play a critical role in the phased transfer of product between facilities of moving machines.
    • Maintain ISO 13485 compliance and support audits, CAPAs, and validation activities.
    • Promote lean practices, 5S, and standard work while building systems for scalable growth.

    Requirements & Qualifications

    • 10+ years of CNC machining/manufacturing experience, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.
    • Comfortable with precision machining, tooling, fixturing, first part verification, and process troubleshooting.
    • Exposure to electropolishing, laser welding, or similar value-added processes is a plus.
    • Proven ability to lead and mentor machinists and department leads, earning respect through knowledge and presence.
    • Experience in contract manufacturing environments, ideally medical device or aerospace.
    • Comfortable supporting technical decisions on the floor, coaching, and problem-solving collaboratively with Engineering.
    • Demonstrated success in multi-site operations, facility expansions, or phased product transfers.
    • Familiarity with ISO 13485 compliance and regulated production environments.
    • Limited travel beyond local sites
