What you will do

• Own end-to-end material planning for Terran R avionics assemblies, including EEE components, connectors, bare boards, wire, cable, PCBAs, wire harnesses, and box-level integration hardware.
• Collaborate with Avionics Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing, Integration, Test, and Launch teams to derive demand from multi-level BOMs and build schedules.
• Identify long-lead and high-risk materials using preliminary BOMs and engineering input, and recommend risk buys, early material authorizations, and buffer strategies.
• Assess the impact of ECOs, ECNs, and part revisions on obsolescence, excess exposure, rework, scrap, and build effectivity.
• Manage material flow to contract manufacturers and harness suppliers, including consigned and turnkey kitting, shortage tracking, constrained-component allocation, and clear-to-build readiness.
• Develop avionics material forecasts and planning processes, support the transition from NPI to production, and improve MRP automation and ERP accuracy.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in material planning, demand planning, or production planning.
• Direct experience planning avionics or high-reliability electronics hardware in the aerospace, defense, or space industry, including EEE components, PCBAs, wire harnesses, or electromechanical box-level assemblies.
• Experience supporting products from NPI or development into production, planning against changing BOMs, and managing engineering-change impact across multiple builds.
• Working knowledge of electronics supply chain dynamics, including component lead times and allocation, obsolescence, MOQs and reels, contract-manufacturer kitting, and part substitutions or alternates.
• Strong understanding of MRP inputs and MRP functions within ERP systems such as Plex, Infor LN, SAP, or Oracle.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with space-grade or high-reliability part requirements, including lot and date code control, traceability, screening, and counterfeit prevention.
• Experience with design release processes and PLM systems and how they feed ERP.
• Experience with SQL, Tableau, or advanced Excel for data analysis.
