We specialize in secure network access, circuit-to-packet conversion, and encryption solutions that demand reliability and compliance.

Role
We are seeking a Manufacturing & Materials Manager to lead production operations, manage procurement through MRPeasy, work closely with accounting to approve and track purchase orders, and oversee production forecasting. This role blends hands-on manufacturing leadership, quality assurance, materials planning, and financial oversight.

Responsibilities
- Oversee daily manufacturing operations: assembly, PCBA, testing, QA, and final product integration.

- Ensure rigorous quality assurance processes and maintain high accuracy in all shipments to customers.

- Supervise, train, and motivate production staff to meet schedules, quality standards, and delivery commitments.

- Manage procurement and materials planning using MRPeasy.

- Place purchase orders, track deliveries, and maintain accurate inventory levels.

- Develop and manage production forecasts in collaboration with sales, engineering, and leadership to align capacity, staffing, and materials with future demand.

- Work with suppliers to negotiate pricing, lead times, and quality performance.

- Coordinate with accounting to approve POs, ensure budget compliance, and reconcile costs.

- Collaborate with engineering during new product introduction (NPI) and ensure smooth transition to production.

- Track KPIs: QA pass rates, shipment accuracy, yield, on-time delivery, forecast accuracy, and material availability.

- Implement process improvements to drive efficiency, quality, and cost reduction.

- Ensure compliance with ESD and workplace safety standards.

Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in electronics manufacturing (telecom, networking, or security hardware preferred).

- Hands-on experience with MRP/ERP systems (MRPeasy strongly preferred).

- Proven ability in production forecasting, QA oversight, and demand planning.

- Experience managing both production operations and procurement.

- Familiarity with financial processes: PO approval, cost tracking, and working with accounting/finance.

- Strong supplier management and negotiation skills.

- Knowledge of PCBA, system-level assembly, and functional testing.

- Background as an Electronic Technician or Electrical Engineer is a major plus.

- Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification is desirable.

- Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills.

- Strong, relevant professional references required.

What We Offer
- Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses.

- Health benefits through Kaiser Permanente.

- 401(k) retirement plan.

- 3 weeks paid time off (PTO).

- Direct impact on production, quality, and customer satisfaction.
