This role coordinates internal functions (engineering, DFM, sourcing, quality, compliance, finance, shipping) and external stakeholders (government customer, DCMA/QAR, suppliers/subcontractors) to deliver parts on time, compliant, and at target margin. Success requires strong program control, manufacturing fluency, and practical knowledge of FAR/DFARS-driven contract requirements.\nHow You’ll Contribute: \nContract & Customer Execution\nServe as the single accountable owner (single POC) for contract performance: schedule, cost, scope, and compliance\nInterpret contract requirements (CLINs, deliverables, CDRLs/data items, inspection/acceptance terms, packaging/marking, shipping instructions)\nLead customer communications: status reviews, risk escalations, change requests, and delivery commitments\nManufacturing Delivery Leadership\nBuild and maintain integrated master schedules (IMS) for production lots, first article, inspection, and shipment milestones\nDrive cross-functional execution: engineering release, process selection, sourcing, capacity planning, production, and logistics\nManage subcontractors/suppliers: flow down requirements, manage lead times, track WIP, remove blockers, and ensure on-time delivery\nQuality & Technical Compliance\nEnsure compliance with quality clauses and inspection requirements (FAI/AS9102 where applicable, source inspection, receiving inspection, certs, traceability)\nCoordinate quality events: First Article Testing, inspections, nonconformance (NCR/MRB), corrective actions (RCCA/8D), and customer dispositions\nEnsure documentation package completeness: CoC, material certs, process certs (heat treat, plating, NDT, etc.), test reports, and objective evidence\nGovernment Contracting Compliance\nEnsure compliance with applicable FAR/DFARS clauses and program obligations (flowdowns, record retention, reporting)\nManage controlled information and cybersecurity requirements (CUI handling, NIST 800-171/CMMC readiness as applicable)\nSupport audits and government oversight (DCMA, DCAA support as relevant to program artifacts, cost/schedule evidence)\nRisk, Cost, and Change Control\nMaintain risk register; lead mitigation plans for long-lead materials, capacity constraints, quality escapes, and design ambiguity\nOwn change management: RFIs, engineering changes, waivers/deviations, and equitable adjustments (in partnership with contracts/legal)\nTrack financial performance: earned value style tracking (as appropriate), cost-to-complete, margin impacts, and invoice readiness\nCloseout & Continuous Improvement\nDrive contract closeout activities (deliverable completion, final invoicing support, lessons learned)\nImprove standard work for government manufacturing execution (templates, playbooks, supplier requirements, inspection readiness)\nWhat You’ll Bring to Xometry:\n7-9+ years program management experience in manufacturing (CNC machining, sheet metal, additive, fabrication, assemblies, or industrial production)\n3-5+ years managing U.S. government contracts (DoD / federal), ideally involving hardware production and quality/inspection requirements\nWorking knowledge of FAR/DFARS fundamentals (deliverables, changes, flowdowns, inspection/acceptance, recordkeeping)\nStrong understanding of manufacturing operations: routing, work instructions, lead-time drivers, supplier management, and constraints\nDemonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage schedules, and deliver under tight timelines\nExperience running quality workflows: FAI, inspection planning, NCR/MRB, RCCA, certificate packages, traceability\nStrong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable engaging with government stakeholders and auditors\nProficiency with program tools (Excel/Sheets, MS Project/Smartsheet or similar, ERP/MRP, basic dashboards)\nNice to Have: \nExperience as a prime contractor program manager (vs. only subcontractor) with full customer-facing ownership\nFamiliarity with DCMA engagement (QAR source inspection, QMS expectations) and government acceptance processes\nExperience with DLA-style hardware contracting (NIINs, technical data packages, provisioning, packaging/marking)\nITAR/EAR controlled work experience (export-controlled drawings, controlled tech data, visitor controls)\nExperience with CUI programs and NIST 800-171 / CMMC implementation coordination\nKnowledge of common manufacturing quality standards: AS9100, ISO 9001, NADCAP (special processes), AS9102 FAI\nBackground in estimating/pricing support and contract change pricing support (REAs, mods)\nFamiliarity with MIL-STD packaging/labeling, UID, and shipment compliance for government customers\nExperience managing multi-supplier networks (distributed manufacturing / marketplace / contract manufacturing models)\nThe estimated base salary range for new hires into this role is $148,000-173,000 annually + bonus depending on factors such as job-related skills, relevant experience, and location.
