Senior Industrial Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design production lines and workstation layouts for undersea vehicle build — from R&D/low-rate through full-rate — using Value Stream Mapping, line balancing, and material-flow (pull/Kanban) methods
• Specify, justify, and deploy capital equipment and tooling — define requirements for large-scale assembly, handling, and test equipment; own the business case and capex justification;
• Own the production-health metrics and KPIs (cycle time, throughput, capacity, utilization, first-pass yield, quality) and build the tools and reports that communicate line health to Manufacturing leads and across the org
• Model and simulate operations (e.g., Siemens Plant/Process Simulation) to test layout and capacity scenarios before committing capital and floor space
• Identify bottlenecks and constraints — layout, part shortages, staffing, tooling — flag them to the right owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality, and drive resolution so decision-makers…

Job requirements

• 5+ years in a low-rate, high-mix manufacturing or supply-chain role building complex electro-mechanical assemblies, with heavy reliance on data
• Experience managing large capex budgets — specifying, sourcing, and commissioning manufacturing / test equipment for heavy complex assemblies
• Proven line/facility design: value stream mapping, continuous/one-piece flow, and workstation design
• Deep material-flow expertise: pull systems, Kanban, min/max, part presentation, lineside racking and packaging
• Experience modeling operations in production simulation software (Siemens Plant Simulation / Process Simulation)
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a value chain, coordinating internal and external parties to hit on-time, on-quality deliveries
• Working knowledge of an MES and an ERP (Oracle or equivalent)
• Grounding in Lean Manufacturing principles and implementation
