Production Planning Engineer

Atrandi Biosciences is a cutting-edge biotechnology startup based in Vilnius, leading the way in single-cell analysis innovation. With a product portfolio that spans instruments, software, microfluidic chips, and reagents, we support researchers worldwide and contribute to advancing biological sciences.

We are seeking a Production Planning Engineer to join our manufacturing team. This role is focused on production planning and coordination — ensuring smooth, predictable, and well-structured manufacturing processes. You will contribute hands-on to product assembly to build a strong understanding of how our products are made, and use that knowledge to effectively plan, coordinate, and continuously improve production as we scale.

You will be responsible for translating demand into structured production plans, ensuring material readiness, and aligning execution across manufacturing.

This role is best suited for someone who combines strong planning and organizational skills with a hands-on, practical mindset, and who is motivated to bring structure, identify inefficiencies, and improve how production operates in a fast-evolving environment.

Production Planning & Coordination

• Translate demand forecasts into structured production plans, including raw material ordering, assembly scheduling, and QC coordination
  
• Ensure alignment between material availability and production needs, proactively identifying risks and bottlenecks
  
• Maintain and update ERP (Business Central) data, including BOMs, routings, and production-related information
  

Production Execution & Product Understanding

• Contribute to device assembly and preparation of submodules, ensuring their quality according to technical documentation
  
• Build a strong understanding of the product and production processes through hands-on work
  
• Ensure quality and consistency of assembled products
  
• Complete technical documentation accurately and on time
  

Performance & Improvement

• Track and develop production KPIs (e.g., on-time production, plan vs actual, material availability, process efficiency)
  
• Support process improvement initiatives, such as warehouse optimization, workflow improvements, and RM changes
  
• Proactively communicate risks, delays, and issues before they impact production

• 3-4+ years of experience in production planning, manufacturing coordination, or a similar role in a manufacturing or production environment
  
• Experience working with ERP systems
  
• Degree in Mechanics, Mechatronics, Electronics, Industrial Engineering or a related field
  
• Strong planning and organizational skills
  
• Ability to identify inefficiencies and take initiative to improve processes
  
• Comfortable combining structured planning with hands-on work in a production environment
  
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, growing and evolving start-up environment where structure is still being built
  
• Strong communication skills in English.
  

Nice to haves:

• Experience working with the Business Central ERP system
  
• Experience with SolidWorks (part design and assembly modeling).
