Operations Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Lead development and deployment of internal automation systems to streamline engineering, manufacturing, and operations workflows, eliminating manual touch points.
• Architect and maintain operational data pipelines and dashboards to enable real-time, decision-grade visibility across programs.
• Design scalable process and systems architectures to support new product lines, facilities, and organizational expansion.
• Formalize and instrument critical workflows with clear inputs/outputs, controls, and measurable performance metrics.
• Diagnose systemic inefficiencies using data-driven analysis and implement durable technical and process-level solutions.
• Build and refine program execution tooling, including tracking systems, dependency mapping, and risk monitoring frameworks.
• Integrate software systems and cross-functional data sources (PLM, ERP, MES, etc.) to create a unified operational backbone.
• Develop lightweight internal applications, scripts, and APIs to automate coordination, reporting, and cross-team handoffs.

Job requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering, Mechanical, Electrical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 1-3+ years in a fast paced collaborative work environment within an engineering or consulting field.
• Strong systems-level intuition with demonstrated ability to reason across electrical, mechanical, and software boundaries.
• Demonstrated ability to build credibility quickly across teams and influence outcomes without formal authority.
• Refined communication ability, with experience distilling complex technical and organizational issues into clear, decision-oriented narratives for diverse stakeholders.
• Capacity to understand engineering and manufacturing data structures (e.g., BOM hierarchies, part revisions, work orders) without owning product design.
• Experience building, deploying and maintaining automation using python, SQL, APIs, or similar platforms/tooling.
• Background in developing automation or tooling (e.g., scripting, workflow tools, Jira, internal systems).
