If so, we need you on our Microsystems Engineering Science and Applications (MESA) production scheduling team. We have an urgent need for a Production Planning Control Specialist to create a modern production scheduling system for our Silicon Fab Facility. This facility produces a variety of semiconductor products for the Nation and requires a structured yet flexible system to successfully balance customer demands, production capabilities, costs, and capacity. In this role you'll have the opportunity to create systems that will serve as foundational components within a holistic system architecture. You'll work closely with the Production Manager, Systems Engineers and Oracle ERP team as you build this future.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

• Team with technical staff, project leads and managers to assess demand requirements and make recommendations to key decision makers regarding demand, inventory and/or capacity needs.

• Analyze and compile schedule and demand data across the supply chain (internal and external); conducting what-if analysis to plan and schedule production, forecast long term capacity issues/constraints and to recommend solutions/options for meeting customer demands within schedule.

• Integrate and manage special builds (new product development builds, technical experimental builds, and problem-solving builds) partnering with the appropriate technical teams to ensure build plans are integrated with production; ensuring quality requirements are effectively planned and executed throughout the product realization process, and deadlines are met.

• Define and assess risks and opportunities; developing strategies (level loading, safety stock, inventory buffers, etc.) for management strategies to mitigate overall programmatic risks.

• Analyze long-term demand (5-10 years); forecasting material demands and costs for incorporation in budget requests.

• Mentor other production planning staff and interns.
