*Production Assistant* Modus Advanced, Inc. *Location: *Carlsbad, CA *Pay:* $25–29/hour depending on experience *Reports to:* Production Supervisor / Lead *Employment Type:* Full-time, Non-Exempt (Hourly) *Shift:* M–Th, 7:00 AM – 5:30 PM *Position Overview* Join the Modus Advanced team as a Production Assistant and become the connective tissue that keeps our production floor moving. In this role, you’ll own the production paperwork and the ERP data that keep jobs flowing—building job binders, generating pick lists, and, above all, making sure material consumptions, time outputs, and job status are recorded accurately and on time in our Business Central ERP system—while serving as a flexible floor resource who supports material flow, shipping, and staging when needed. The components our teams produce support life-saving medical devices, critical defense systems, and aerospace innovations. At Modus Advanced, one day matters. The jobs you keep organized and the data you keep accurate move faster and cleaner through the floor, freeing our managers and programmers to focus on the work only they can do. Your organization, follow-through, and attention to detail directly impact our ability to deliver excellence to our customers on time. *What Success Looks Like* As a Production Assistant, your primary focus is keeping production documentation and ERP data accurate and moving. You make sure every job has a correct, complete binder before it hits the floor; you own the timely, accurate entry of consumptions, time outputs, and job status in Business Central; and you act as the guardrail on the floor—following up with the team so production information actually gets captured in the system in real time, rather than being reconstructed later or left to managers and programmers to chase. A successful Production Assistant is proactive, organized, and dependable. You catch a job binder or a bad transaction before it causes a problem downstream, you keep the ERP a source of truth people can rely on, and you take administrative weight off the managers and programmers so they can stay on higher-value work. When the paperwork and data are under control, you’re a flexible extra set of hands the floor can count on—helping with shipping, staging, inventory, or whatever the day needs. *Key Responsibilities* Production Documentation and Job Setup * Create and assemble job binders and travelers, ensuring each job has complete, accurate paperwork before it reaches the floor * Review job binders for errors and correct them before they cause downstream problems * Generate pick lists and coordinate the pulling and staging of materials for upcoming jobs * Maintain accurate traveler and production records throughout the manufacturing process to support traceability ERP Data Ownership (Business Central) * Own the accuracy and timeliness of production data in the Business Central ERP system—this is a core, defining responsibility of the role, not a background task * Record material consumptions, labor and time outputs, quantities, and job status against the correct jobs and POs * Reconcile what physically happens on the floor with what the system shows, catching and correcting discrepancies before they compound * Ensure production transactions are entered completely and on time so inventory, job costing, and scheduling data stay trustworthy * Serve as the floor’s point person for getting production information into the ERP correctly, rather than leaving it to managers and programmers to enter piecemeal Floor Coordination and Data Integrity * Act as the floor “guardrail”—following up with the team to ensure production data makes it into the ERP and paperwork accurately and on time * Put up guardrails and processes that make it easier for the floor to record information correctly the first time * Chase down missing paperwork, transactions, and information so jobs are not delayed or mis-costed for lack of data * Work closely with the planning team to translate job plans into floor-ready binders and picks * Track job status and flag paperwork, data, or material gaps that put schedule at risk * Take administrative load off managers and programmers so they can focus on programming, setup, and production Inventory and Material Support * Conduct cycle counts, stock verification, and inventory adjustments for raw materials and work-in-process * Verify quantities against travelers and pick lists with a high standard of accuracy * Monitor consumable and material levels and coordinate restocking before shortages stop production Flexible Floor Support (Floater Role) * Serve as a flexible resource across the floor when paperwork is under control—supporting shipping, staging, and material movement * Prepare and stage parts and move materials between work centers, inspection, and storage as needed * Maintain organized, efficient work and staging areas following 5S principles * Follow all safety protocols while working on the floor, and escalate quality or material concerns promptly * Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to streamline documentation and material flow *Required Qualifications* Education and Experience * High school diploma or equivalent required * 1–2 years of production support, coordination, administrative, or manufacturing experience preferred * Experience with production paperwork, job travelers, or ERP data entry in a manufacturing environment strongly preferred * Ability to read, write, comprehend, and communicate in English Technical Skills * Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 and strong general computer skills * Experience with, or a strong aptitude to quickly master, Microsoft Business Central ERP (or a comparable ERP system)—ERP data ownership is central to this role * Comfortable navigating multiple software platforms and keeping data accurate under volume * Ability to read and follow work instructions, travelers, job routers, and basic engineering drawings * Basic understanding of manufacturing workflow and shop-floor documentation Physical Requirements * Ability to move between a workstation and the production floor throughout the day * Ability to stand, walk, and move around the floor for extended periods * Good eyesight (correction allowable) for detailed documentation and basic inspection work * Ability to lift and move up to 25–35 pounds as required for material handling Personal Attributes * Exceptional organization and attention to detail—this role lives and dies by accurate paperwork * Proactive and persistent—willing to chase people for information and hold the line on data quality * Self-motivated with the ability to juggle many jobs and priorities at once without losing track * Genuinely invested in doing the administrative work well, not treating it as a stepping-stone to skip past * Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first approach * Commitment to safety, quality, and ethical behavior *What We Offer* Comprehensive Benefits Package * Competitive pay commensurate with experience * Health, dental, and vision insurance * 401(k) retirement plan with company matching * Paid time off and holiday pay * Professional development opportunities * Tuition reimbursement program Growth Opportunities The Production Assistant role is a deliberate entry point into Modus. It gives you exposure to the full production floor and our core systems, opening clear paths forward—into operator and machinist tracks, into quality, or into production planning and coordination roles. You’ll receive mentorship from experienced operators, machinists, and engineers along the way.

We are looking for passionate, motivated individuals who want to make an IMPACT every day to help us execute on our mission of reshaping the world of time-critical logistics. Be the Team's Deepest Problem-Solver Every ops floor needs a small number of people who can be handed the hardest problem in the queue and trusted to get it right — balancing cost, speed, and customer impact without defaulting to escalation. As an Operations Specialist III, you're that person for your team. You resolve what OS I and OS II can't, you help the team solve it themselves next time, and you understand the business well enough to make the close calls — which carrier, which cost, which tradeoff — that protect both service quality and margin. For the rare issue that needs to be fielded by someone supporting Ops leadership and account managers directly, you know when to bring in an Ops Expert. What You'll Do Must be able to perform all responsibilities included in the Operations Specialist II job description, in addition to the following: Resolve the Hardest Escalations Independently resolve all escalated issues using available resources with minimal to no assistance Assist in resolving team member escalations and questions Anticipate problems before they surface and act early Make the Margin and Cost Tradeoffs Understand margin versus total cost for an order and apply that knowledge to additional charge approvals Balance speed, cost, and customer impact when making big-picture decisions, without defaulting to escalation (e.g., choosing a carrier based on service reliability and error-rate history rather than the fastest or cheapest option alone) Maintain deep, practiced knowledge of the trade, regulatory, and compliance requirements relevant to your assigned sector Set the Standard for the Team Serve as the go-to resource on sector-specific process nuance and edge cases within the team Flag SOP gaps and suggest improvements to your supervisor based on frontline experience Uphold team expectations by leading through example Maintain any certifications required for your assigned sector and stay current on related compliance requirements; assist teammates with related questions Maintain a Balanced Level of Performance As an OS III, you'll be expected to maintain minimal to no errors or service failures, make sound decisions under pressure, and meet the customer service standards appropriate for this level. Specific metrics vary by sector and will be communicated by your direct reporting supervisor. Requirements Demonstrated success as an Operations Specialist II, or equivalent experience independently resolving complex, time-critical logistics escalations Working knowledge of margin and cost tradeoffs, and comfort applying that knowledge to real-time approval decisions Deep, near-expert familiarity with the trade, regulatory, and compliance requirements relevant to your sector Track record of coaching or supporting less-tenured teammates through difficult issues Sound judgment under pressure, with a track record of getting ahead of problems rather than reacting to them Willingness to obtain additional certifications, where applicable within your sector Available for 2 weeks of training in person on-site in our Carlsbad, CA headquarters Advancement to Ops Expert Ops Expert is a step up in scope, not just tenure: it moves from executing within your sector to being the escalation point leadership and account managers turn to directly, with elevated coaching and live-operations responsibility. To advance, you'll need to demonstrate all of the following: Minimum of 9-12 months in the OS III role Consistently meeting or exceeding OS III performance standards, tracked through ongoing 1:1 check-ins and confirmed across two consecutive Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) Demonstrated ability to guide teammates in real time — catching and correcting issues as they happen, not just after the fact Working familiarity with monitoring and resourcing tools (e.g., Zendesk, Twilio, live dashboards) beyond your own queue Willingness to obtain additional certifications required for the Expert tier, where applicable, in addition to your existing sector certifications Manager recommendation, confirming readiness to operate as the sector's top escalation resource and take on informal team-leadership responsibility Compensation Hourly pay range: $26-30/hr High-quality health, vision, and dental care plan options 401K company contribution program Professional learning and training reimbursements Core Values: We are One Team.

We are looking for passionate, motivated individuals who want to make an IMPACT every day to help us execute on our mission of reshaping the world of time-critical logistics. Set the Foundation for Time-Critical Order Execution Airspace moves the shipments that can't be late — for hospitals waiting on an organ, a grounded aircraft waiting on a part, or a production line waiting on a component. As an Operations Specialist I, you're one of the first people to touch a new order, and how well you set it up determines whether everything downstream goes smoothly. This is where every Airspace Operations career starts. You'll learn the platform, the players (customers, Commanders, and agent service providers), and the judgment calls that come with time-critical logistics. The role is deliberately structured to build your foundation fast, so that by the time you're ready to advance, the fundamentals are second nature. What You'll Do Operate the Airspace Platform Set up new orders by adhering to standard work practices and client-specific SOP instructions Apply transit accessorials (e.g., wait time, parking, tolls) in PT as reported — for charges that are not auto-generated by the system Navigate and interpret carrier booking and tracking systems relevant to the order Accurately confirm job milestones are completed correctly and on time Rapidly move between competing priorities without losing accuracy Solve Problems as They Arise Source driver coverage for any segment of an order Use situational awareness to request or deny additional driver incentives when necessary Update, manage, and/or change shipment documentation as needed Apply training and tenured knowledge to find solutions to common or uncommon issues Follow escalation procedures and guidance from senior team members when a situation exceeds your judgment Keep Customers Informed Professionally relay delays, issues, and updates through verbal and written communication Anticipate disruptions (weather, traffic, carrier delays) and proactively offer alternatives to meet or beat required delivery times Place orders on behalf of customers who are unable to use the online portal Stay Responsive Across Channels Timely acknowledgment and action on all email, phone, and text requests Consistently meet minimum metric expectations for phone availability and acceptance Proper use of phone statuses; adherence to All Hands on Deck and Off-Phones guidelines Stay independently informed by reviewing all communications provided throughout company platforms Maintain a Balanced Level of Performance As an OS I, you'll be expected to meet minimum metric requirements and customer service standards appropriate for an entry-level position. Specific metrics vary by sector and will be communicated by your direct reporting supervisor. Expectations increase with each advancement. Requirements Prior logistics experience preferred, but not required — we'll train you on the platform, the workflows, and the judgment calls Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable on the phone with customers under time pressure High attention to detail — small errors in time-critical logistics have outsized consequences Ability to multitask and shift rapidly between competing priorities Comfortable following structured processes while also using judgment when a situation falls outside the standard playbook Willingness to obtain any certifications required for your assigned sector (e.g., Dangerous Goods handling, where applicable) Available to work the shift pattern required by your team, including some evenings, weekends, or holidays as the network requires Available for 2 weeks of training in person on-site in our Carlsbad, CA headquarters Advancement to Operations Specialist II Advancement is a gate, not a timeline — tenure alone doesn't move you forward. To advance to OS II, you'll need to demonstrate all of the following: Minimum of 6 months in the OS I role Consistently meeting or exceeding OS I performance standards, tracked through ongoing 1:1 check-ins and confirmed at your first structured Semi-Annual Review (SAR) Demonstrated proficiency across all OS I responsibilities with minimal supervision Manager recommendation, confirming readiness to independently own the additional judgment calls required at OS II Your First 90 Days Get fluent in the Airspace platform, order lifecycle, and the standard work practices that keep time-critical shipments on track. Build working relationships with your team, your supervisor, and the Commanders and agent partners you'll coordinate with daily. By day 90, you should be handling the full OS I workload independently, with escalation as your safety net rather than your default.
