About the role

Process Engineer to join Vehicle Operations with a cross-program mandate across Test, Fleet Reliability, Build, and On Road Deployment in Automotive, Trucking, and Construction & Mining programs; focuses on closing gaps in workflows, measuring time and cost, identifying high-leverage improvements, and building scalable measurement infrastructure and methodologies.

Responsibilities

  • Workflow and throughput analysis: time-and-motion studies and bottleneck identification across vehicle prep, dispatch, rework, retrofit, and deployment loops.
  • Root cause analysis: design and apply structured RCA frameworks for recurring failures, surface cross-program patterns.
  • Measurement framework design: define how operational performance is instrumented and build dashboards and signals.
  • Process templates and standards: develop SOP structures, runbook formats, checklist templates, and training assessment models.
  • Cross-vertical pattern recognition: identify same problems across Test, Build, Fleet Reliability, and On Road Deployment and design solutions once.
  • Continuous improvement: apply Lean / Six Sigma rigor to operational problems and embed into how the organization runs.

Qualifications

  • BS in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years in process engineering, industrial engineering, operations engineering, or a comparable operational analyst role.
  • Demonstrated application of Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent continuous improvement methodologies in a production or operational environment.
  • Track record of running time-and-motion studies, bottleneck analyses, and root cause investigations leading to measurable change.
  • Strong data fluency, comfortable pulling, structuring, and interpreting operational data (spreadsheets required; SQL or BI tools a plus).
  • Experience designing measurement frameworks and KPIs for operational teams.
  • Ability to influence without authority — deliverables adopted across teams that don’t report to you.
  • Excellent written communication; deliverables are clear, structured findings ready to act on.
