Production Coordinator

About this position At Boom Supersonic, we're building Superpower — a 42-megawatt industrial gas turbine designed to deliver high-efficiency power generation at scale. Our first prototype is being assembled right now and scheduled for first fire this year. The production facility you will work in is being built in parallel, across two shops and four shifts, so that when the prototype proves out we're ready to build the first production units without losing a day. At an operation moving at that pace, the difference between hitting the target and missing it often comes down to who's keeping track. We're looking for a Production Coordinator who wants to be that person. This isn't a data entry role. It isn't a scheduling role in the traditional sense either — there's no mature system waiting for you to log into. It's a connective tissue role. You'll be the person who knows the status of every active job across both our production facility and our R&D shop, who caught the thing that was about to slip before anyone else noticed, who made sure the machinist's concern reached the right engineer at the right time, and who built the tracking infrastructure that lets the Machining Manager spend less time chasing status and more time acting on it. The two-shop context matters. Our production shop runs at high volume with a structured cadence — four shifts, 80+ CNC machines, tight schedule commitments. Our R&D shop is smaller, faster-moving, and less structured. These environments operate differently, and our coordination failures tend to happen at the handoff between them. Part of your job is making sure that handoff doesn't create surprises on either side. We're building this coordination function as we go. Some structure exists, but it's inconsistent — and the person who takes this role will have real input into what it becomes. We're not looking for someone to inherit a playbook. We're looking for someone to write one. What we're looking for: Experience in operations coordination or production support in manufacturing — direct floor coordination, not back-office. Experience tracking status across multiple teams or shifts, preferably high-mix precision environments. Comfort with ambiguity and building — can create structure, not just operate within it. Clear, direct written communication — this job is 80% written updates, escalations, and handoff notes. ERP or scheduling system experience a plus; willingness to build tracking systems from scratch is required. What you’ll own: Status visibility across both shops — tracking active jobs, flagging risks, making sure the right people know in time to act. Cross-shop coordination between production and R&D — keeping dependencies visible before they become conflicts. Escalation routing — knowing what to handle, what to flag, and what needs to stop the line. Shift handoff communication — ensuring nothing gets lost between shifts. The production coordination infrastructure — building it, improving it, and keeping it simple enough that people use it. The coordination function you're building is part of what makes the transition from prototype to first production unit possible. That's not a future responsibility — it starts on day one. If that's the kind of stakes you want to work at — and you're the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks — we want to talk.
