Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.\nAbout This Opportunity:\nYou’ll lead from the front on the shop floor, working side by side with your team. You’ll optimize workflows, mentor talent, and be responsible for leading the day-to-day operations of the Lamination department, ensuring composite parts are produced safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with engineering and quality requirements.\nThe Supervisor will work closely with Production Planning, Engineering, Quality, and other departments to identify priorities, resolve production constraints, and ensure parts move through the manufacturing process on time. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on composite manufacturing knowledge with the ability to lead, coach, organize, and hold a growing production team accountable.\nWhat You'll Do:\nLead the Team: Manage hourly technicians in our Lamination department, building a culture of collaboration, quality, and urgency. Maintain an organized, clean, and production-ready work environment. \nOptimize Production: Translate the production schedule into clear daily and weekly priorities for Leads and Composites Technicians. Own workflow management, including work assignments, staffing, scheduling, and prioritization of production activities. \nStreamline Processes: Maintain visibility into upcoming work and proactively identify potential bottlenecks, material shortages, tooling constraints, or staffing issues. \nConsistent Communication: Conduct shift start meetings, communicate priorities, and ensure effective handoffs between shifts when applicable. \nChampion Digital Tools: Train your team on using our proprietary systems to improve accuracy and drive continuous improvement. \nCollaborate Across Teams: Work closely with Engineering, Quality to ensure materials, documentation, and programming are always ready to meet production schedules. \nDrive Continuous Improvement: Provide DFM feedback to Engineering to reduce costs and improve manufacturability. Implement and enforce production best practices. \nBe Hands-On: Lead, train, and develop composite technicians, including onboarding new team members, implementing cross-training programs, and establishing technician capability goals. \nSupport Administration Tasks: Oversee timesheets and manage schedules. \nSupport EHS: Enforce safe work practices including PPE use, hazardous material handling, FOD prevention, and compliance with EHS procedures \nWhat We're Looking For:\n Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with!\n6+ years of experience in the manufacturing of composites parts from prepreg materials, with strong knowledge of relevant materials and methods. \n2+ years of experience managing direct reports. \nBe a strong leader, able to foster a “all for one” mentality where people give and accept help to deliver quality parts on time. \nHave a high sense of urgency, and a resolve to deliver the highest quality. \nHave experience in startups or small teams in fast-paced and quickly changing environments \nBe well versed in how to design successful manufacturing methods for such parts (including how to split tooling, use of intensifiers/caul plates, adhesive films, core splice, hard points, ply drops, debulk strategy, etc.) \nHave experience in other composites manufacturing methods like vacuum infusion (VARTM), compression molding/hot pressed molding, trapped rubber molding, and wet layup. \nBe proficient on a computer and experienced using typical administrative software for communication, planning, and coordination. (e.g. word, excel, outlook). \nStrong communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively across production, engineering, quality, planning, and program teams \nAbility to work extended hours or alternate shifts as needed to support production schedules \nBonus Points:\nExperience with manufacturing software systems (e.g., JIRA, ERP/MRP, MES, PLM). \nFamiliarity with AS9100 or similar aerospace quality management systems","description_format":"text","description_chars":4342,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["3D Printers & Additive Manufacturing","Contract Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T03:02:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.574,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":30,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":135000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/layup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/layup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T21:22:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11790,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8917},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8917"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flayup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flayup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flayup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/layup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flayup-parts-production-supervisor-lamination"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1498581}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"layupparts.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1498581},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
