About the Role

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.   We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed. Role Overview: We're not looking for someone who maintains the status quo. We're looking for someone who walks into any room, any process, any operation sees what's broken, and feels compelled to fix it. No process is too small, no function too far outside your title - if it slows the company down, it's in scope.  This is a foundational role with real ownership: you'll define how work and materials flow across the company, build the metrics infrastructure leadership relies on, and drive the operational transformation that shapes our growth trajectory.
