Job description

VP Production

Boston, Massachusetts

According to John Owen, co-founder of JetBlue and investor at De-Ice, "the best way to save money for an airline is to run a reliable, on-time schedule, and current-state de-icing makes this impossible."

De-Ice is an MIT spin-out that's developed an electric de-icing solution that will solve this problem. This eliminates the need for the aircraft to hold on the ground for 30-45 minutes or more while workers in bucket trucks spray heated toxic fluids on the aircraft.

If you're passionate about aviation, engineering, and solving difficult problems join our team to take a big step towards making flying sustainable for everyone.

Responsibilities

The VP Production will be instrumental in ensuring De-Ice delivers its product on-spec and on-time. They will be responsible for optimizing and managing De-Ice's production, supply chain, and quality process infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will have had a leadership role in developing, certifying, and producing sub-systems for commercial or military aircraft.

This role reports directly to the founders and executives at De-Ice.

Specific duties include, but are not limited to:

  • Working with the current team, top leadership, and advisors to develop the production plan, timeline and resources to meet commercial targets
  • Lead the supplier optimization process including generating competitive proposals, supplier selection, contract development and requirements integration
  • Manage the company's supply chain to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery performance from suppliers and contract manufacturers
  • Implement and enforce a requirements management and conformity process utilizing industry standard processes and software (e.g. DOORS) that are compatible with suppliers
  • Lead the implementation of a cost and time effective PLM or equivalent system to ensure FAA compliance with revision control and requirements conformity
  • Recruit, mentor, and guide a team of highly skilled engineers for manufacturing and production in a structured aerospace environment

Qualifications

  • 15 years or more of professional experience in the aerospace industry including at least 5 years in a leadership role with responsibility for bringing a new system or sub-system from early design into full production required
  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Electrical, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent required
  • Experience managing engineering teams and co-coordinating with interdisciplinary teams required
  • Proven experience managing and bringing to market complex aerospace programs such as novel avionics LRUs packages and products which integrate multiple aircraft systems; bringing products through FAA PMA required
  • Specific experience with aerospace standards such as ARP4754, DO-160, DO-178, DO-254, and EWIS required
  • Experience supporting NPI all the way through scaling production preferred
  • Direct experience developing and negotiating supplier contracts and supplier coordination preferred
  • Energetic, driven, creative, and able to respond to unforeseen challenges and conditions
  • Ability to think critically in an ambiguous environment and take end-to-end ownership of work product
