### YOUR MISSION

At True Anomaly, production is a strategic advantage. Our ability to rapidly build, integrate, test, and deliver high-performance systems at scale is critical to mission success and long-term competitiveness.

As Vice President of Production, you will build our production organization into a high-rate, quality focused build and test machine. You will drive vertical integration to achieve pace and cost targets while developing automation and test infrastructure to support lights out verification across multiple product lines and mission sets. You will own manufacturing, assembly/integration, EGSE design and production, quality, and test and test automation — building the operational systems, infrastructure, and teams required to scale efficiently without compromising quality or speed.

This role is responsible for creating a data-driven production organization that continuously improves throughput, reliability, and cost while enabling rapid iteration and delivery across the business.

### Key Responsibilities

- Lead all manufacturing, assembly, integration, and production test operations across the company’s product lines while supporting prototyping for research and development.
- Develop and execute the production strategy required to scale from development programs into repeatable, high-rate manufacturing.
- Own the operational execution of the company’s vertical integration efforts, including standing up internal manufacturing and test capabilities for propulsion systems, fluid systems, PCBAs, FlatSats, RF systems, and integrated space vehicles.
- Build scalable production systems, workflows, and operational infrastructure that improve throughput, quality, and delivery performance across complex hardware production environments.
- Drive implementation of lean manufacturing principles, automation, and data-driven operational management across production environments supporting spacecraft, missile defense, and mission-critical component and payload systems.
- Own development and deployment of production tooling, EGSE, fixtures, and automated test systems required to support scalable manufacturing, integration, and environmental test operations.
- Partner closely with Engineering teams to drive design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test principles into product development.
- Establish production metrics, dashboards, and operational review processes focused on cycle time, yield, labor efficiency, throughput, and cost reduction.
- Lead quality execution across manufacturing, integration, inspection, RF test, propulsion test, and production verification activities, ensuring quality is embedded into operational processes.
- Drive automation of test execution, production data collection, and operational reporting to improve repeatability, traceability, and decision-making.
