Senior Supply Chain Planner

Responsibilities

• Own the planning requirements for Amca's custom MRP, covering how demand is calculated against inventory and open orders, how BOMs and revision effectivity are handled, and how lead times, order policies, exception logic, and RFPO release should work
• Work alongside the engineering team through design, build, and release, and build planning logic that will survive contact with reality
• Test new functionality against real builds and real data, define the acceptance criteria, and find the failure cases before they reach production
• Define our planning processes, standards, and documentation as Amca scales to more factories
• Demand Signal and Master Scheduling
• Own the master production schedule for El Segundo, setting build sequence, quantities, and dates against customer commitments and factory capacity
• Review MRP output after each automated run and release requests for purchase order (RFPOs) with enough lead time for buyers to act
• Pull orders in and push them out as priorities shift, and escalate early when the schedule is not achievable
• Data Integrity
• Own the lead times, order policies, safety stock, lot sizes, yields, and part statuses that MRP depends on
• Create, maintain, and audit BOMs so they match what the floor builds and what supply chain buys, and drive engineering change through the system as revisions move
• Reconcile inventory records to cycle counts, WIP, receipts, and MRB
• Drive the number of exceptions and manual overrides toward zero by correcting the root cause in the data or the process, so the same problem stops resurfacing and the signal can be trusted on its face
• Cross-Functional Execution
• Release RFPOs early enough to act on, with the part, date, build, and slack a buyer needs to prioritize
• Work with production, manufacturing engineering, and program teams on build feasibility, new part introduction, and revision changes
• Flag shortages, long lead exposure, and schedule risk early, naming parts, dates, and impact
• Set the bar for the planners who follow you, through the standards you write and the people you train

Qualifications

• 5+ years in production planning, materials planning, master scheduling, or supply chain systems in a manufacturing environment
• Experience through at least one ERP or MRP implementation, migration, or major reconfiguration, in a role where you fundamentally shaped how planning worked
• Deep MRP fluency, including how the plan calculates what to buy against what you already have, how order policies and planning settings behave, and what breaks downstream when they are set wrong
• Working knowledge of BOMs and how engineering changes flow through them
• Precise and detail-driven, willing to run a discrepancy down until you know what caused it
• Direct communicator who can hold a position with engineers and thrives when the plan changes

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing background
• Experience writing requirements for planning software with an engineering team
• Planning across multiple sites or factories in a multi-entity organization
• Familiarity with configuration control, effectivity dates, and engineering change orders
• SQL, Power BI, or exposure to capacity planning

Additional Requirements

• Based in El Segundo, CA, onsite five days a week
• Remote work is not considered
• Ability to travel up to 15% to Amca factories
• Willing to work extended hours as needed to support production
• This position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
