Position Summary

As the in‑house manufacturing arm of Skeletal Dynamics our Strategic Manufacturing Center is a vertically integrated, ISO 13485–certified plant focused exclusively on upper‑extremity orthopedic implants . We’re now searching for a hands‑on Sr. Manufacturing Manager who will own daily execution and build the next‑stage continuous‑improvement roadmap.

You’ll manage supervisors, programmers, operators, and technicians; coach floor discipline; and partner with Quality & Engineering to meet FDA 21 CFR §820 requirements. Programming experience is a plus —you’ll collaborate closely with our Lead Programmer to drive setup reduction and future lights‑out machining.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead shop‑floor operations —pacing, job flow, tooling readiness, and on‑time completions.
• Champion continuous‑improvement (CI) and lean initiatives : build a CI roadmap covering 5S, SMED, value‑stream mapping, and cost/part reduction.
• Drive automation & digital visibility : identify lights‑out opportunities, leverage Business Central and MachineMetrics/Power BI dashboards to convert data into real‑time decisions.
• Own operational KPIs : OEE, labor efficiency, scrap/rework, setup time, and throughput dollars/hour.
• Manage and develop the manufacturing team —supervisors, programmers, operators, techs—ensuring accountability to daily production targets, safety, and quality.
• Collaborate with Quality & Engineering for fast, data‑driven root‑cause and CAPA closure.
• Control the manufacturing budget : track labor, consumables, and tooling; deliver year‑on‑year cost/part reduction.
• Coordinate resource planning & cross‑training to build a flexible, high‑skill workforce.
• Run daily tiered meetings and maintain floor‑level visual management (SQDC, Andon, KPI boards).

Qualifications

• 8+ years of manufacturing leadership in medical device, aerospace, or precision CNC machining.
• Proven success managing 20+ floor personnel in a regulated environment.
• Deep understanding of CNC workflows; programming/CAM experience or close collaboration history preferred .
• ERP fluency (Business Central ideal); strong data orientation (OEE, labor metrics, Power BI).
• Familiarity with FDA 21 CFR §820 and ISO 13485 compliance.
• Lean / Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt) preferred.
• Leadership traits: floor‑visible, decisive, coach‑minded, and relentless about safety & quality.

What Success Looks Like

• Daily output is predictable, efficient, and clearly communicated through visible KPIs.
• Operators, programmers, and supervisors are fully trained, cross‑functional, and self‑directed.
• Continuous‑improvement projects are prioritized and delivering tangible gains in throughput, setup reduction, and cost/part.
• Automation pilots (e.g., lights‑out machining, digital dashboards) are launched and expanding based on measurable success.
• The manufacturing floor runs with disciplined visual management and requires minimal escalation from the GM.
