About the role

Senior Industrial Engineer responsible for designing and optimizing manufacturing operations for undersea vehicle production in a fast-paced R&D-to-production environment, owning production-line design, capital equipment justification, production-health KPIs, and end-to-end value chain coordination.

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; and manage vendor selection, build, install, and qualification through to production readiness
  • Own the production-health metrics and KPIs (cycle time, throughput, capacity, utilization, first-pass yield, quality) and build tools/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 to owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality, and drive resolution with clear build, cut-in, and buy signals

Qualifications

  • 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
  • Able to read technical documentation (drawings, vendor schematics, CAD) and understand hardware processes across electronics and mechanical structures
  • Bias toward speed and accuracy and a willingness to take on responsibility across manufacturing, engineering, and operations
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
