Company Overview
Red 6 is an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) technology startup leading the way in synthetic air combat training. Our primary technology, supporting our ATARS product, enables pilots to simulate the cognitive challenges of flying while accessing realistic, scalable training in dynamic outdoor environments.
Position Overview
Red 6 is seeking a highly organized and execution-driven Planner / Scheduler to support production operations and supply chain activities for complex aerospace products.
This role combines detailed scheduling with focused project coordination, ensuring that all elements required for production—including material availability, documentation, engineering changes, and test readiness—are aligned, tracked, and executed on time. The position will play a critical role in driving Manufacturing Readiness across multiple products by coordinating cross-functional deliverables and maintaining integrated schedules.
This role also supports product lifecycle and sustainment efforts, including ECO/ECN implementation planning and DMSMS (obsolescence) tracking, ensuring long-term material availability for DOD and aerospace customers.
Unlike a traditional Program Manager, this role is centered on execution, readiness tracking, and cross-functional coordination, ensuring that production teams—both internal and contract manufacturers—have everything required to successfully build and deliver hardware.

Plan and run Manufacturing Readiness meetings, tracking inputs from Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Test teams.

Planning, Scheduling & Material Readiness
Develop and maintain integrated schedules that include supply chain, material delivery timelines, manufacturing activities, ECO implementation, and production milestones.
Track part-level schedules and material availability, including long-lead items, custom components, and critical supply dependencies.
ECO / ECN & Configuration Change Coordination
Plan and coordinate qualification builds for second-source components, including scheduling, material readiness, and cross-functional alignment.
DMSMS & Lifecycle (Obsolescence) Support
Cross-Functional Project Coordination
Coordinate activities across Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, Quality, and Test teams.
Meeting Leadership & Communication
Lead recurring cross-functional meetings (e.g., Manufacturing Readiness Reviews, Build Readiness, Production Status).
Provide structured updates to leadership on schedule status, material readiness, ECO progress, and risks.
Tools, Reporting & Visibility
Provide regular updates on schedule adherence, material availability, ECO status, and readiness gaps.
