Proven experience in operations management, plant management, or general management in a manufacturing environment (electronics preferred)

Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage and motivate small teams

Comfortable working in a startup environment with limited resources and evolving processes

Excellent organizational and problem-solving abilities

Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally

Hands-on, flexible, and proactive mindset—willing to step in wherever needed
