Operations Manager - Dynamac Division

Operations Manager

CNC Machining & Manufacturing Automation | Full-Time, Exempt, On-Site

Reports to: General Manager / Vice President

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Operations Manager to lead the full order-to-ship workflow across two distinct business segments under one roof: high-volume robotic automation for commercial OEM customers, and precision aerospace & defense (A&D) machining to AS9100 and ITAR/DFARS requirements. This is a shop-floor leadership role with direct accountability for on-time delivery, quality, labor and machine utilization, purchasing, inventory accuracy, and customer satisfaction.

Areas of Responsibility

• End-to-end production scheduling across both workflows

• Oversee order entry and customer service functions. Serve as escalation point on delivery, expedites, and corrective actions

• Daily and weekly production operations — directing cell leads, machinists, programming/ setup personnel

• Optimize OEE, cycle time, scrap, labor efficiency, capacity planning

• MRP, purchasing, outside service coordination

• Inventory accuracy and turns across raw material, WIP, finished goods, tooling, and consumables

• Oversee shipping & receiving, ensuring on-time shipment, import/ export compliance

• Operations budget — direct and indirect labor, tooling, freight

• Regular KPI reporting to leadership

• Team development: coaching leads and machinists, recruitment and skills development

• Safety performance and awareness

• Shop organization and cleanliness

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of operations experience in a precision CNC machining environment, with 5+ years in a management role overseeing multiple functions

• Direct experience with both high-volume automated production and high-mix, low-volume precision machining

• Working knowledge of AS9100, ITAR, and DFARS flowdown requirements

• Hands-on familiarity with CNC milling/turning, multi-axis machining, robotic load/unload cells, and gauging

• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (Epicor preferred, JobBOSS2 a plus)

• Demonstrated results with lean manufacturing tools: VSM, 5S, Kaizen, 8D problem-solving

• Basic understanding of operations financials — able to track spending against budget and support capital justification requests

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, or Industrial Technology — or equivalent experience

• U.S. Person status required (ITAR)

Nice to Have

• Experience implementing or scaling robotic automation cells (FANUC, Universal Robots, other), integrated CMM and lights-out manufacturing

• APICS CPIM/CSCP, Six Sigma Green/Black Belt, or Lean certification

• PPAP/APQP experience; AS9100 internal auditor training

• Spanish language fluency

How We Measure Success

• ≥98% on-time delivery across both workflows

• External PPM and escape rate trending down quarter-over-quarter; zero major findings on AS9100 audits

• OEE in automated cells trending toward 80%+

• Zero lost-time safety incidents

• Lean and JIT effectiveness

Operations spending within budget with documented productivity savings annually
