Production Scheduler
ExoTerra ResourceAbout Voyager Technologies Voyager is an innovative defense, national security, and space technology company committed to advancing and delivering transformative, mission-critical solutions. We tackle complex challenges to unlock new frontiers for human progress, strengthen national security, and protect critical assets from ground to space. Job Summary The Production Scheduler supports ExoTerra's Littleton/Centennial manufacturing operations by developing, maintaining, and integrating practical schedules that connect customer and program requirements to executable production plans. The role works across three scheduling needs based on business priorities: Own and maintain the integrated Master Production Schedule (MPS) when assigned, ensuring it remains the credible source for production dates, priorities, dependencies, and constraints. Partner with Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) owners, Manufacturing Engineers, Production Planners, and production leads to build and maintain detailed LRU schedules that roll into the MPS. Plan and track production-related projects, including capital equipment installations, production-line changes, facility moves, and operational-readiness activities. This is a hands-on, production-facing role. Success means the schedule reflects shop-floor reality, LRU plans are logically connected and achievable, constraints surface early, and stakeholders use a consistent set of dates to make decisions. Key Responsibilities Master Production Schedule Maintain, publish, and, when assigned, own the integrated MPS across ExoTerra product lines and customer programs. Translate program need dates and delivery priorities into a time-phased production plan covering LRU assembly, integration, test, and shipment milestones. Maintain schedule logic, predecessors, durations, production locations, equipment assignments, assembly or manufacturing-order references, and forecast completion dates. Update the schedule as material, labor, quality, equipment, or technical conditions change while preserving clear version control and communicating the impact of changes. Support a disciplined daily and weekly scheduling cadence so Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, and program teams work from one current plan. LRU Schedule Development and Integration Work directly with LRU and Integrated Product Team owners to create detailed, logic-driven schedules for thrusters, power processing units, propellant management and distribution assemblies, tanks, harnessing, module integration, test, and other product elements as applicable. Facilitate working sessions with Manufacturing Engineering and production leads to define build flow, realistic task durations, dependencies, handoffs, test requirements, and recovery actions. Ensure LRU schedules align with MPS milestones and with the manufacturing dates supplied to program Integrated Master Schedules. Track LRU status and forecast dates; identify work that is due soon, late, or blocked, and identify downstream impacts before customer delivery dates are affected. Help LRU owners improve schedule quality and consistency without transferring operational ownership away from the responsible product or production leader. Production Sequencing, Capacity, and Constraints Sequence production work based on need dates, material readiness, labor and equipment capacity, work-center constraints, quality status, and upstream and downstream dependencies. Identify bottlenecks involving shared resources such as test equipment, chambers, specialized labor, or constrained production areas; support scenario analysis and recovery planning. Coordinate with Production Planners on manufacturing-order readiness and with Supply Chain on material availability so scheduled work can be released and executed. Coordinate with Quality and Engineering to reflect nonconformances, holds, rework, and technical investigations in the schedule and clearly communicate delivery impacts.
