About the Job

PV Labs is a small, but highly specialized, aerospace systems component engineering company designing and building next-generation airborne imaging systems. In this role, you wont just be issuing schedules and managing kits you'll be the orchestrator of how our cutting-edge technology gets built and delivered. From aligning engineering release cycles with long-lead material planning, to managing kit accuracy and production sequencing, you're at the core of how we turn complexity into capability.

This is not a back-office coordination role its a high-trust, high-collaboration position that sits at the intersection of production, engineering, procurement, and program delivery. Success here is not just about what you do its about how you do it. You'll need to build relationships across functions, gain credibility with technicians and engineers, and communicate production realities with diplomacy and clarity.

In a larger company, this would be three roles. At PV Labs, its one and well give you the autonomy and support to own it, shape it, and evolve it. It'll be the hardest job you've ever loved

What You'll Own

1. Production Planning & Scheduling

  • Translate program milestones, engineering release schedules, and supply chain constraints into executable short- and mid-term production plans.
  • Maintain just enough flexibility to handle first-article builds, technical changes, and rework loops without losing delivery discipline.
  • Drive coordination across engineering, procurement, and assembly to ensure material availability and resource alignment at every stage.

2. Inventory & Materials Management

  • Own the balance between inventory control and production readiness ensuring long-lead items are forecasted without ballooning stock.
  • Use our ERP systems (Genius) to track part movement, BOM integrity, material traceability, and alignment to production needs.
  • Lead cycle counts and inventory reconciliation, ensuring data integrity across stores, finance, and production.
  • 3. Kitting & Assembly Support

  • Ensure every kit is right the first time accurate, complete, and built to match structured BOMs.
  • Support lean and traceable sub-assembly and final assembly builds by driving kit preparation, labeling, configuration, and documentation.
  • Be the go-to resource for Stores operations and a key partner to the Engineering and Assembly teams.
  • 4. Supply Chain Localization & Dual-Build Enablement

  • Support our growth into regional manufacturing by planning phased transitions to in-country or in-region builds.
  • Integrate partner lead times, export requirements, and localized sourcing strategies into a unified master plan.
  • Help stand up regional planning capabilities that mirror our high-complexity, low-volume production model.
  • 5. Performance Analysis & Planning Intelligence

  • Develop dashboards and metrics that measure what matters : schedule attainment, material readiness, and delivery performance.
  • Investigate planning delays, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions not just to fix the issue, but to improve the system.
  • Use data to create transparency, drive better decisions, and ensure production planning evolves with business complexity.
  • Who You Are

  • A proactive planner who thrives at the center of cross-functional activity.
  • A master of clarity able to explain complex planning realities to engineers, technicians, and executives alike.
  • Unflappable under pressure comfortable adjusting plans, priorities, and communications when things inevitably shift.
  • Someone who cares as much about relationships and follow-through as they do about data accuracy and production control.
  • You've likely built planning frameworks before, or been the one who fixed broken ones.
  • You bring a strong understanding of discrete manufacturing ideally in high-complexity electro-mechanical, aerospace, or defense environments.
  • You know how to work an ERP, but you also know when its the conversation not the system that solves the problem.
  • Requirements

  • 7+ years in production planning, scheduling, or materials coordination in a complex, low-volume manufacturing environment.
  • Background in aerospace, defense, optics, or precision electro-mechanical systems preferred.
  • Bachelors in Engineering, Operations, or Supply Chain or equivalent hands-on expertise and results to back it up.
  • APICS CPIM (or working towards it) is a plus.
  • Strong Excel and ERP planning skills
  • Nicetohavements

  • Previously built a production planning framework from scratch
  • Experience with Genius ERP (but other ERPs are fine)
  • Previous experience in the aerospace and / or defense industry
  • Familiarity with export compliance, configuration control, and Lean manufacturing principles.
  • No reservations about being at the epicentre of 3 key production planning disciplines while we grow and scale
  • The PV Labs Culture

    We move fast. We build things that fly. We don't do ego we do execution. Were protective of our culture and focus on fit-first / skills-second approach for who we hire into the organization.

    At PV Labs, you'll work with sharp, motivated people who are excited to solve tough problems and deliver disruptive technology. We've adopted a 4-day work week (yes, really) because we value performance over presence. And with hybrid flexibility, we trust you to work from where you're most effective.

    You'll be a key player in a company that's scaling rapidly, building things the big guys cant. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and help us build what's next, we want to hear from you.

    Yes, we have a 4-Day Work Week, free fresh fruit weekly, Timbit Tuesdays and Bagel Thursdays.
