Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION
As Test and Production Planner, you will be the backbone of production and test scheduling for True Anomaly’s spacecraft delivery operations. You will own the day-to-day coordination, detailed scheduling, and capacity tracking that enables the Production and Test Engineering team to execute on aggressive timelines. You will build andmaintaindetailed production schedules, track work orders through MRP/PLM systems, coordinate with engineering and technicians to sequence builds andtests, andprovide real-time visibility into schedule status and bottlenecks. You will partner with the Director of Production and Test Engineering to translate program milestones into executable work packages,identifyresource constraints before they become problems, and ensure that every spacecraft moves through the production pipeline efficiently. This role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to balance competing priorities whilemaintainingschedule discipline and clear communication across teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Build andmaintaindetailed production and test schedules at the work order and task level using MRP/PLM/MESsystems.

Coordinate daily and weekly scheduling with production technicians, test engineers, and manufacturing engineers to sequence work efficiently.

Track work order status,identifyschedule slips or resource conflicts, and elevate risks to leadership proactively.

Provide inputs to the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) by translating detailed production schedules into program-level milestones.

Perform capacity analysis and workload forecasting toidentifystaffing needs, equipment bottlenecks, and facility constraints.

Coordinate test stand and facility reservations (TVAC, vibration, EMI/EMC,FlatSat) to maximizeutilizationand minimize idle time.

Generate schedule reports and metrics (on-time delivery, cycle time, resourceutilization) for leadership review.

Support production meetings by providing schedule status,



highlighting critical path items, and tracking action items to closure.

Work with procurement and supply chain to ensure materials and tooling are available to support scheduled builds.

Maintainaccuraterecords of as-built configurations, test completions, and schedule performance in PLM/MESsystems.

Support continuous improvement initiatives byidentifyingschedule inefficiencies and recommending process changes.

What Success Looks Like

Production and test schedules areaccurate, up-to-date, and trusted by the team as the single source of truth.

Schedule conflicts and resource bottlenecks areidentifiedearly and resolved before theyimpactdelivery.

Work orders flow smoothly through production with minimal delays or rework due to planning issues.

Leadership has clear visibility into schedule performance, risks, and capacityutilizationat all times.

Test facilities and equipment are scheduled efficiently with highutilizationand minimal conflicts.

Schedule metrics show continuous improvement in on-time delivery, cycle time, and predictability.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, or related field, or equivalent experience.

3+ years of experience in production planning, scheduling, or operations coordination in manufacturing or aerospace environments.

Proficiencywith MRP, PLM, or MES systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Arena, Dassault, Siemens Teamcenter).

Strong knowledge of production scheduling principles, capacity planning, and critical path analysis.

Experience coordinating schedules across multiple teams and functional areas with competing priorities.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to present schedule status and risks clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent schedules.

Proficiencyin Microsoft Excel, Project, or equivalent scheduling and analysis tools.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience in aerospace, space systems, or high-reliability manufacturing environments.

Familiarity with AS9100/ISO9001 production standards and quality management systems.

Experience with test facility scheduling (TVAC, vibration,



shock, EMI/EMC, environmental chambers).

Knowledge of lean manufacturing principles, value stream mapping, and cycle time reduction techniques.

Experience building or contributing to Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) for complex programs.

Familiarity with Gantt charts, PERT charts, and critical path scheduling methodologies.

Proficiencywith data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI) or scripting languages (Python, SQL) for schedule analytics.

Understanding of spacecraft assembly, integration, and test workflows.

Active DoD clearance or ability to obtain one is a plus.
