Director of Manufacturing - Sunnyvale - Executive Recruiting Group
Description
We are seeking a Director of Manufacturing that is a builder at heart—someone who thrives at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, prototyping, and leadership. You've spent years working in high-mix, low-volume environments, where speed, precision, and adaptability are equally critical. You are hands-on with machines and tools, but equally skilled at building teams, processes, and shops that scale. You get energy from solving hard problems, bringing order to complexity, and enabling others to do their best work. You're motivated by the idea of building something that has never been built before, and you're excited to help shape the future of aerospace from the ground up.
