As a Master Planner, you’ll own the end‑to‑end Master Production Schedule and ensure our production plans are clear, reliable, and aligned with operational realities. You’ll turn demand and capacity insights into executable plans, balancing constraints and priorities with confidence. This role offers strong ownership, visibility, and influence across the network, working closely with manufacturing, MSAT, engineering, quality, and supply chain teams to drive alignment, stability, and continuous improvement.
