TL;DR · Senior Industrial Engineer

Senior Industrial Engineer joins the Manufacturing Team to develop simulation and optimization models that predict manufacturing process behaviors for real-world adaptations. This role involves building a 3D simulation-based virtual factory as an operational knowledge base, designing new production lines and workstation layouts, and identifying bottlenecks caused by equipment constraints or staffing shortages. The candidate will manage capacity plans, balanced line layouts, and time standards while collaborating with Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Business Operations teams. Required skills include experience with Technomatix Plant Sim or other discrete event simulation software like Promodel, FlexSim, or Simio; proficiency in Python, R, C++, Java, or SQL/No-SQL for large data sets; and the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications. The role focuses on scaling production for advanced defense hardware including sensors, ground equipment, and flight vehicles.

What you'll do

  • Build 3D simulation-based virtual factories to serve as the primary knowledge base for manufacturing processes and operational logic.
  • Create feasible production plans and schedules by ensuring all operations meet resource capacity, material availability, and timeline requirements.
  • Maintain a data-driven digital reference model of the factory to inform future performance predictions and investment decisions.
  • Design new production lines and workstation layouts using a data-driven approach for both low and full-rate production.
  • Identify and resolve manufacturing bottlenecks caused by layout constraints, equipment limitations, or staffing shortages.
  • Translate metrics such as cycle time, throughput, and first pass yield into actionable improvements for production line health.
  • Develop capacity plans, balanced line layouts, staffing allocations, and time standards for manufacturing work content.
  • Drive end-to-end operational improvements for next-generation defense products as they scale in maturity and production volume.

What we're looking for

  • Must have at least 8 years of experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Experience with Technomatix Plant Sim or equivalent discrete event simulation software is required.
  • Proficiency in object-oriented programming (Python, R, C++, Java) or handling large datasets with SQL/No-SQL is required.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical documentation including facility drawings, assembly drawings, and manufacturing specifications.
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Preferred candidate holds a Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
  • Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or Six Sigma principles is preferred.
  • Prior experience with ERP, WMS, and MES systems is preferred.
