With decades of industry experience and operations in key global markets, we combine engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and responsive customer service to deliver reliable, high-quality solutions-from product development through production and fulfillment.\nLocation and Work Arrangement\nThis position is based in Newark, California and is onsite.\nBenefits\nUnigen offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision coverage; a 401(k) plan; paid time off; paid holidays; and professional development opportunities. Benefits are subject to eligibility requirements and applicable plan terms.\nMaster Scheduler (MPS)\nReports to: Planning Manager\nLocation: Newark\nDepartment: Supply Chain / Production Planning\nJob Summary\nThe Master Scheduler owns and maintains the Master Production Schedule (MPS) for the site, translating customer demand into an executable build plan that is balanced against available capacity (labor, lines, equipment) and material supply. This role is the central point of coordination between Sales/Demand Planning and Production, ensuring the CM meets customer delivery commitments while maintaining efficient resource utilization.\nKey Responsibilities\n Master Schedule Ownership: Build, publish, and maintain the MPS across the planning horizon (typically rolling 4-13 weeks, with a longer-range rough-cut view), sequencing customer orders into production line schedules.\n Capacity Planning: Run Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) and/or detailed capacity checks against labor, machine, and line availability; identify bottlenecks and recommend load-leveling, overtime, or line-balancing actions.\n Demand Load Management: Reconcile customer forecasts/orders (demand signal) against the schedule; flag over/under-loaded periods and drive trade-off decisions with Sales/Program Management.\n Exception Management: Monitor schedule adherence, run daily/weekly exception reports (late materials, capacity conflicts, order changes), and drive resolution through cross-functional huddles.\nS&OP/SIOP Support: Provide MPS-level input into Sales & Operations Planning cycles; reconcile master schedule with the aggregate demand/supply plan.\n System Ownership: Maintain planning parameters (lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, calendars) in the ERP/APS system (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Kinaxis, NetSuite) to keep the MPS logic accurate.\nCustomer/Program Interface: Communicate committed ship dates, capacity constraints, and schedule risks to planners/program managers as needed in a CM/EMS setting.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, Engineering, or equivalent experience.\n3-7 years in production/master scheduling or demand planning, ideally in a Contract Manufacturing, EMS, or high-mix/low-volume manufacturing environment.\nWorking knowledge of MRP/ERP systems and capacity planning tools (SAP, Oracle, Kinaxis RapidResponse, NetSuite, JDE, etc.).\nStrong understanding of MPS, MRP, RCCP/CRP, BOM structures, and demand-supply balancing.\nAdvanced Excel; experience with planning/APS software a plus.\nAPICS/ASCM certification (CPIM, CSCP) preferred.\nKey Competencies\nCross-functional coordination (Sales, Materials, Production, Quality)\nAnalytical/data-driven decision making under constraint (capacity vs. material vs. demand trade-offs)\nClear communication of schedule risk to leadership and customers\nComfort with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities typical of CM/contract environments","description_format":"text","description_chars":3672,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hardware","Manufacturing","Electronics Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T08:50:31Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.413,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":39,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/unigen-master-scheduler","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/unigen-master-scheduler.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T10:01:44Z","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":15274,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2419948},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2419948"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Funigen-master-scheduler"},{"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%2Funigen-master-scheduler"},{"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%2Funigen-master-scheduler"},{"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/unigen-master-scheduler\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Funigen-master-scheduler"}]}
