Production Manager [Solutionologist] | Posted 02/06/2026
Job Summary
The Production Manager is a hands-on, execution-focused leader within DI Labs’ Operations team. Acting as the central owner of daily production execution, this role ensures work flows predictably across production cells while building the routines, standards, and system workflows that allow the operation to scale.
This role balances strong floor leadership with system discipline—partnering closely with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and IT to ensure production priorities are clear, execution is stable, and NetSuite is the trusted system of record for production and inventory.
Success in this role requires clarity, accountability, and a continuous improvement mindset. The Production Manager sets expectations, reinforces standards, and ensures production decisions are grounded in accurate, timely data.
What Success Looks Like
- Production commitments are met reliably (build plans, ship dates, internal priorities).
- Work cells operate with clear priorities, predictable handoffs, and minimal surprises.
- Rework, scrap, and avoidable schedule churn trend downward over time.
- Leads actively lead, and operators understand what they are working on, why it matters, and how quality is defined.
- NetSuite accurately reflects production status, WIP, and inventory.
- Inventory and material signals are reliable, reducing stockouts and unexpected shortages.
- A professional, respectful floor culture where issues are surfaced early and addressed constructively.
Culture at DI Labs

As an ITAR-registered, ISO-certified, and NIST-aligned digital manufacturing company, we rely on disciplined execution while empowering our people to speak up, solve problems, and continuously improve.
Every team member plays a role in ensuring the precision, reliability, and integrity of what we produce. If you’re energized by clarity, accountability, and building systems that make work better every day, you’ll thrive at DI Labs.
