Production Coordinator
Northwood Space
About Northwood Northwood is a modern space infrastructure company focused on connecting space and Earth. The world runs on space. Space will run on Northwood. Our global ground network ensures that missions ranging from national security, to global connectivity, to disaster response can unlock their full potential and operate every day without fail. Role We are seeking a Production Coordinator to own the day‑to‑day production schedule for Northwood’s antenna systems and help ensure hardware is built on time, at quality, and at scale. This role sits at the intersection of manufacturing, purchasing, inventory, and engineering, and will be responsible for translating demand, material availability, labor capacity, and production constraints into an executable build plan. You will help determine when work should start, what is blocking execution, how the production queue should be prioritized, and what needs to happen cross‑functionally to keep hardware moving. This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys working close to the shop floor, solving schedule and material problems in real time, and creating the planning discipline needed to support high‑mix, fast‑moving hardware production. Responsibilities Own and maintain the production schedule and work queue for antenna system builds and subassemblies, balancing priorities, material readiness, labor capacity, engineering readiness, and delivery commitments. Assess production readiness by evaluating material availability, purchase orders, work orders, required documentation, and shop capacity to determine when work should be released. Partner closely with purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, engineering, and quality teams to identify, communicate, and resolve production blockers. Track production progress against plan, providing clear updates on schedule risks, shortages, priority changes, and work order status through regular production meetings and stakeholder communications. Coordinate with purchasing and material planning to ensure long‑lead, critical, and constrained components are aligned with production schedules and business priorities. Drive continuous improvement in planning and production processes, including work order release, readiness reviews, queue management, shortage tracking, schedule reporting, and throughput optimization. Basic Qualifications 2–3+ years of experience in production planning, scheduling, and manufacturing coordination within hardware manufacturing environments, with a strong understanding of production control processes. Proven ability to develop and manage production schedules, work orders, and cross‑functional execution while ensuring material availability, inventory accuracy, and production readiness. Strong knowledge of manufacturing operations and the interdependencies between purchasing, inventory management, production capacity, quality, and engineering to meet production objectives. Highly organized and detail‑oriented, with experience using ERP, MRP, MES, inventory, and scheduling systems to track status, resolve production blockers, manage competing priorities, and communicate effectively across teams. Preferred Qualifications Prior experience in aerospace, defense, space, RF systems, electronics manufacturing, or other complex hardware production environments. Experience using Manufacturo in a production environment. Experience in a high‑mix, low‑volume or rapidly scaling manufacturing environment. Familiarity with AS9100, ISO 9001, or aerospace quality requirements. Additional Information To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
