Master Production Scheduler

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.  

We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.

As the Master Production Scheduler at Senra Systems, you will be responsible for owning the company's master production schedule and translating customer demand into an executable factory plan. You will serve as the central planning authority connecting bookings, production capacity, material readiness, engineering readiness, and revenue objectives to ensure the business can execute against customer commitments and financial targets. 

This role is highly analytical and execution-focused, requiring strong organizational skills, business judgment, and the ability to interpret signals from across the company. Success is measured by forecast accuracy, schedule attainment, capacity utilization, revenue predictability, and the organization's ability to execute against plan.

• Own and maintain the company-wide master production schedule across all facilities, programs, and product lines. 

• Translate bookings, customer demand, and forecasted opportunities into executable production plans.

• Identify critical path constraints across Production, Supply Chain, Inventory, Engineering, Quality, and Program Management. 

• Recommend production pull-ins, push-outs, labor balancing, overtime utilization, and prioritization adjustments to optimize factory performance and revenue attainment. 

• Partner with Production Control, Supply Chain, Engineering, Programs, and Production leadership to maintain schedule adherence and execution. 

• Facilitate planning reviews and communicate schedule risks, mitigation plans, and forecast updates to leadership. 

• Serve as the primary planning interface between Operations, Sales, Programs, Finance, Product, and Executive Leadership. 

• Develop and maintain dashboards, reporting, and analytics that provide visibility into capacity, bookings, forecast accuracy, schedule attainment, and revenue projections. 

• Leverage SQL, Python, Power BI, and other analytical tools to support decision-making and operational planning. 

• Partner with Software and Product teams to improve planning systems, workflows, reporting, and automation capabilities. 

• Continuously improve scheduling methodologies, planning processes, and forecasting accuracy. 

What you'll bring to the team:

• 5+ years of experience in master scheduling, production planning, program management, operations management, supply chain planning, or related manufacturing functions. 

• Experience working in a complex manufacturing environment with responsibility for production schedules and capacity planning. 

• Strong understanding of manufacturing operations, production control, material planning, and demand forecasting. 

• Advanced ERP/MRP system experience. 

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. 

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• Identify schedule risks, bottlenecks, and capacity constraints before they impact production or revenue performance. 

• Provide actionable recommendations for pull-ins, push-outs, staffing, overtime, and prioritization decisions.
