A day in the lifeThe Production Coordinator role is critical to streamlining part movement throughout the factory. This includes the monitoring of the factory operation and addressing logistical problems inside the factory. This means regularly interacting with warehouse and logistics teams when parts are missing, late, or blocked, both physically and electronically, and then permanently solving the root cause. This includes interfacing with the test lab for staging/queuing of products with specific focus on improved flexibility of operation while minimizing non-value add communication and operation. It also entails constantly reducing "red tape" and overhead needed to maintain and improve quality, requiring work with automation, quality, enterprise technology, and manufacturing teams.

You'll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you'll be constantly looking for ways to remove non-value-add operations, reduce down-time, improve quality of the products, and reduce lead-time of builds and tests.
